Northern Exposure Season Four Review April 14 2006
I Love Northern Exposure, first and foremost because the characters and the show itself is so original. Everyone is quirky in their own way. I always thought of season four as my favourite. Visiting the town of Roslyn, Washington in 1994 where they filmed the show, and meeting a few of the actors definitely fuels my love for the show. In this season the audience gets to meet some loveable characters, and some not so loveable. The German clock expert for instance that Maurice was a little bit confused about was a great storyline. Maurice thought in his mind that the expert might look more like a techno geek. With slicked back hair, glasses and well dressed with a tie and vest.
Holling's gambling, cheating, chain smoking daughter that he thought he never had was a real shock and hard to watch. I was glad to see her go after one episode.
The return of The Flying Man, Adam & Eve, and Duke Wan I was glad to see.
The one character I was really glad to see was the introduction of the bubble man, Mike Monroe. He gave Dr. Joel a whole new meaning of paranoid. Along with what Dr. Joel Fleischman describes as being a paranoid delusional, Mike is also a lawyer who manages to help a citizen of Cicely, get out of deep trouble.
The introduction of Walt the Trapper about half way through the season in a small role, cements him as a reoccuring character for the rest of the series.
Dave the Cook has a lot more speaking parts in season four, than in previous seasons. I always wanted him to say something in previous seasons. I think the writers' were waiting for the right moment.
The Miller boys make an appearance in one episode. The Miller family are the arch enemy of the Stevens' from all the way back to the Civil War.
Bernard, Chris's half brother also makes a regular appearance during the season. The storyline of Chris and Bernard Stevens is one of my favourite in the show.
This season has everything. Along with interesting, quirky characters, and great stories to match, one can't beat it. There are 25 great episodes that are so different from the other. There are also deleted and extended scenes in this package, along with two gag reels. Northern Exposure is my favourite show.
Season four is a great season. Go out and buy it!
