Flung through a cosmic wormhole, American astronaut John Crichton finds himself fighting for his life in the middle of an alien prison break, inside a Leviathan a living space ship on the far side of the galaxy.
Hunted by the relentless Crais, a commander of the galactic enforcers known as Peacekeepers, Crichton joins forces with the alien convicts hulking warrior Ka D'Argo; blue-skinned Priestess Zhaan; diminutive Dominar Rigel XVI; the giant symbiote Pilot and the irreversibly contaminated Peacekeeper Aeryn Sun. Each desperately seeks a way home, but first, they have to find a way to trust one another. Daring escapes and selfless acts of courage forge a measure of loyalty, friendship and even love.

Season Four starts off a few months after the events of season three with Crichton and this season brings to culmination all the events of the first three season with Scorpius, the Peacekeepers, the wormhole information that is still in Crichtons head and the relationships between all our key characters. My favorite episode in this season is when Crichton and the crew end up on Earth and have to navigate the dangerous waters that come with aliens on Earth and it is rather fun as they try to fit in, hide and keep out of sight.
Sadly, just before this season was released on TV to air it was cancelled, which is a shame as this was a great series. This season ends rather abruptly and the ending is a really big shocker, but don't fear too much as they did make "The Peacekeeper Wars" which gives us a more solid ending. The special effects as with the previous seasons are really well done and it is all so very convincing, I could easily see these characters roaming about in space, really existing. The actors do a great job and you can tell they all had a lot of fun going by the special features on the DVD.
