ENT Season 4

Summary
After averting the Xindi attack on Earth and "ending" the Temporal Cold War with the help of Daniels and Silik, the Enterprise returns home.

The rest of the season primarily uses themes from TOS, like the Augments, Surak, the Organians, Babel, the Orions, and the mirror universe. It also features a two-part story, dealing with the Klingon forehead problem, first brought to light in. The season ends with Earth's politicians, including Nathan Samuels and Captain Archer, negotiating the first alliances with alien species which would later lead to the formation of the Federation.

The season's format is unique to Star Trek. The bulk of the season was comprised of two- or three-part "mini arcs," mostly unrelated to each other. All told, the season contains four two-parters and three three-parters. Its five standalone episodes stand as a record low for a Star Trek series (excepting, of course, the season-long Xindi arc of the third season of Star Trek: Enterprise).

Background Information
Season 4 saw the series move to Fridays at 8pm EST, and Manny Coto stepped up to become show runner and Executive Producer. Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens were brought on as story editors. After the narrow escape from cancellation at the end of season 3, and despite continued fan campaigns, the series was officially canceled on February 2, 2005.

Characters which 'crossover' from other incarnations of Star Trek: T'Pau and Surak, Phillip Green , and William T. Riker and Deanna Troi. Data, Jean-Luc Picard, and James T. Kirk were also featured in in voiceover.

John Billingsley felt that this season was the strongest overall of the show's run, and credited the new format for this success. "I think the idea of having the multi-episode arcs was the best way of having your cake and eating it too, getting some kind of a sustained narrative drive which you can't do in any standalone episodes, and not necessarily tying up a whole season the way we did in season three when we were chasing the Xindi." On the cancellation at the end of the season, Billingsley remarked, "I think if anything what I would love fans to come away with is a sense of the show was getting better and while it was disappointing we didn't a full seven year run we [were] beginning, I think, to establish ourselves as a strong series in our own right."
