I just got through Season 4 after a break from watching TNG. This is my first time through and will hopefully get to finish off the rest of the seasons this year.
Initial Observations
Again, the writing of the episodes really blew me away. Quite comparable Season to last S3. Many episodes stuck out and few were really sub-par.
I liked many of the shows that brought back a familiar character. Reg, the Traveler, Wesley, Duran, Tomolok, etc.
Faves: The Best of Both Worlds, Reunion, Future Imperfect, Nth Degree, Redemption

177: Brothers: B+
Data's homing device is activated taking him back to Dr. Soong
178: Family: B+
Picard takes leave on earth and visits his brother/family in France. Worf's parents visit the Enterprise.
179: Remember Me: A-
Beverly gets caught in a Warp Bubble but it appears that everyone else has in her experience. The Traveler guest appears.
180: Legacy: B
Enterprise visits a planet and meets Ishara Yars, Tasha's sister. A story of how easy it is to be deceived.
181: Reunion: A

182: Future Imperfect: A-

A Federation Captain is attacking Cardassian Ships and the Enterprise is ordered to track an honored Captain down.
187: Devil's Due: A-
Ardra, a deity amongst Ventax II seeks to capture Picard's Soul. The acting on this episode between Patrick and the lady Ardra is excellent!
188: Clues: A-

193: The Nth Degree: A

194: Qpid: B
Q shows up and tries to repay Picard for getting his life back. This is not one of the better Q episodes but still was good. Vash also appears and surprises Picard.
195: The Drumhead: B
