There were quite a few Earth-based stories in the year, but not all the new enemies were originally local. Willie Garson comically guest-starred as Martin, a geekily suspicious guy with too much knowledge of the Stargate. More sinister was an old flame of Daniel's turning into something far more painful than an old wound (thanks to an ancient Egyptian curse). Thankfully, the writers hadn't forgotten the importance of one-off storylines too. In "Upgrades" the team learns a lesson in abuse of power. In "The Other Side" (featuring DS9's Rene Auberjonois) they learn about blind trust. In "Scorched Earth" a dangerous claim for a planet's ownership means they learn to value Daniel's contribution to the group dynamic. If only this last lesson were learned better, season 5 might not have ended up as muddled as it did. --Paul Tonks

Customer Reviews of Stargate SG-1 Season 4 Boxed Set
Another strong season for a very fine Sci-fi series Season Four is in many ways the most difficult to assess of the show's first four. On the one hand it features a number of absolutely first rate individual episodes, but on the other the larger narrative was developed far less than in seasons two and three. Almost always such lack of development is the result of network pressures to produce a show that was easier for first-time viewers to access. Seasons Two and Three saw a vast amount of plot development, as new races and characters were introduced with increasing rapidity. Season Four cut back on this tremendously, and the overall arc proceeded at a much slower pace. <

>I give Season Four five stars but I am going to confess that this is more a reflection of my opinion of the show as a whole than this season in particular. I personally think that the more a show pushes the long story arcs, the better it is as a show. FARSCAPE was never better than when it was pushing its dominant narrative and the same is true of a host of other shows such as THE X-FILES, BUFFY, ANGEL, and LOST. Many--and I include myself in their ranks--feel that ALIAS began to fade when it mysteriously lost its grasp on its on master narrative. The first three seasons seemed to be leading to something definite, and then it was as if the show started all over again. <
> <
>Nonetheless, while the overall story lagged a bit in Season Four, there were a host of amazingly good episodes. So there was never a point where the show became slow or tedious. And there were some great guest appearances. Willie Garson, who is best known as Stanford, Carrie's gay friend, on SEX AND THE CITY had a nice appearance as an alien stranded on earth. He has since reprised the character. <

>So, while the big story didn't progress very much in Season Four, it remained a highly entertaining and high quality Sci-fi show.
Wonderful Season
Although the third season was an excellent season, this season way better than the last-it just keeps getting better and better. This season has a whole lot of one-off episodes and lots of comedies too. I kind-of wish that they would have gone more into the threat of Apophis instead of just putting him in three episodes, but other than that it was a great season. This season starts up four story-arcs that spread for several more seasons, and continues with several from former seasons. Great episodes include: Small Victories, The Other Side, Upgrades, Crossroads, Divide and Conquer, Window of Opportunity, Watergate, Beneath the Surface, Tangent, The Curse, The Serpent's Venom, Chain Reaction, Absolute Power, 2010, Double Jeopardy, Exodus. I highly recommend this season if you are curious about the show and want to see a top-notch episode.
One of the best seasons...
I resently bought Stargate season 4 on DVD. Season 4 is one of the best season, and the special features a great. The commentaries are funny and you learn a lot about how they make the show.
