Hell yeah.

This is one of my favorite seasons of the entire series, finally returning the show to its original, fascinating "alternate history" roots, which is all the more miraculous considering the utter trainwreck that was Season 3.

That season boasted several very good episodes early on (produced while Tracy Tormé was still with the series), but soon degenerated into pure "movie-ripoff-of-the-week" horseshit once the FOX executives completely eliminated all creative control the writers once held over the show.

About effing time. Getting the show away from FOX was the best thing they ever did (at least for a year or so), and actually hiring real prose science-fiction writers for these last two seasons made a huge difference in the show's flavor.
