Just finished Season 4. Again with some very strong episodes, including Family (the Picard winery), Reunion (the return of K'ehleyr and K'mpec), The Wounded (Cardassians!), Clues (makes no sense on re-watch but was pretty good at the time), Qpid (I am not a Merry Man!), The Drumhead, (a non-Trumpian witch hunt) and a great finale in Redemption.
Awesome guest stars again, with the return of Elizabeth Dennehy, George Murdock, Suzie Plakson and Tony Todd, as well as giving us David Ogden Stiers and Bob Gunton.
Other high points saw the making of O'Brien as an actual character, the expansion of the Klingon story and thus Worf's, the best Lwaxana episode (admittedly not a high-bar to clear). We see the Cardassians get introduced, as well as the Trill (although differently then they would show up on DS9), and the removal of Wesley, who I liked as a kid, but he was so snotty in his final episode as a regular. Also the introduction of Lursa and B'etor, who would go on to last as villians until Generations.
Low points included one last Wesley-saves-the-day, a bit of a let-down to THe Best of Both Worlds, and the introduction of both Alexander and Sela.
