I agree, Todd. Season 4 is very strong and I would say probably about on par with season 5. Season 4 is when the show really started getting edgy! It has the incredible “Rest in Peace, Somebody” which is my absolute favorite!!

Candy and a Gun
Wednesday, Ladies Free
R & R & R
Cloth of Gold
Didn’t We Meet at a Murder?
Bring in the Moon
Odd Man In
Good Night Baby
Bait Once, Bait Twice
Skinhead
Any Way to Run a Paradise?
No Bottles No Cans
3,000 Crooked Miles
Highest Castle

All excellent episodes!!

In fact there’s only 3 episodes that I don’t care for too much. But even those have their moments.

White Brick Road
Two Doves and Mr. Heron
Ninety Second War, Part II


In comparison season 8 has quite a few that are “just there”, nothing too special. Even the Vashon episode somehow lacks the punch of the earlier trilogy. I always expect to enjoy it more than I actually do. It’s got nothing on the excellent prison drama of season 1 - “The Box”.
