If Felicity was always a collective portrait of young adults perpetually at a crossroads, then Felicity: Senior Year Collection (The Complete Fourth Season) concerns that moment when one realizes the long-deferred future of grown-up responsibilities has finally arrived. In other words, Senior Year is about decisiveness and commitment shaking things up among Felicity's tight-knit group of soon-to-graduate college friends and significant others, all of whom recognize now the urgency to make clearheaded choices that will permanently affect careers, family ties, love lives, and self-respect. Not that any of Felicity's familiar characters are prepared for that kind of Hamlet-like pressure. Bad judgment, impulsiveness, the flotsam of unresolved relationships, envy, and selfishness are still driving forces behind the mercurial actions of art major Felicity Porter (Keri Russell) and her off-and-on boyfriend Ben Covington (Scott Speedman), former beau Noel Crane (Scott Foley), cynical pal Meghan Rotundi (Amanda Foreman), the latter's well-meaning hustler of a partner, Sean Blumberg (Greg Grunberg), and assorted students and confidantes who comprise Felicity's inner circle. But the stakes are much higher this time. Ben's alcoholic father (John Ritter in a sympathetic, touching performance), in true medical trouble, can no longer be angrily dismissed by the younger man as in previous seasons. A careless fling between Felicity and Noel is no mere bump in the road anymore for the former and her true love, Ben. Nor is Ben's imminent fatherhood (he and the young addict his father is sponsoring become pregnant) the kind of inconvenient wrinkle Felicity invariably forgave in the past. Everyone is playing for keeps now, and the absorbing dramas and tensions in each well-written, constantly surprising episode have an air of finality about them. Things get particularly interesting--arguably controversial--in the last two or three scripts, in which an anomalous time-travel gimmick (of all things) gives viewers an opportunity to see alternative finales for the four-year-old series. It's a go-for-broke idea that asks Felicity's loyal audience to take a leap of faith just to see what happens, and the results are indeed unexpected and rewarding. Special features include a particularly good, behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of the last episode. --Tom Keogh

 My Least Favorite Season December 16, 2008
Ida Wheeler
I only name this one my least favorite because i figured that Noel should have moved on with his character. He should have been way over Felicity and trying to hurt Ben by using Felicity against him. He wasn't as focused as he should have been in his life. However, this is the season where I fell the most in love with Ben's character. He gets more mature and more focused into what he wants. He finally finds a career choice and sticks with it. Felicity was a bit more selfish in the season because she wants to have her cake, eat it, and the ice cream. She's no longer the innocent lost girl, but she keeps acting like it which was kind of annoying. The ending episodes weren't really needed and confused the audience into wondering what the heck was going on. i would have loved to see how all the character's lives turned out after college besides the short clips with Noel getting married. Anyway, if you've ever seen Seasons 1-3, then you definitely have to complete the series with the 4rth. This is just my opinion on this season, but it doesn't take away the fact that I think that has been one of the best shows on television when I was a teenager growing into adulthood myself.
 Great show, great finish September 23, 2008

Im so hooked on this show. I love Kerry. I love felicity, ben and noel and all the characters that make this show so wonderful. Kerry has this amazing personality that draws you close and makes you have to keep watching.
I am sad the show ended, but thankful to have this cd to go back in time with.
 Another strong season for a very nice show August 10, 2008

FELICITY ends where it should have ended, with Felicity's graduation from college. Well, her graduation with a bit of an alternative-reality twist. But as a fan of Philip K. Dick I'm completely at ease with that. Twist or no twist, FELICITY ended by being with no serious competition the finest show about being a college student ever made. Although two other series were overall much better shows -- BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and VERONICA MARS -- neither did as good a job of dealing with college life; in both instances they remained great series despite the dip in quality created by the college setting. Although the final two seasons of FELICITY were not as strong as the first two, it nonetheless remained consistently fascinating.
Season Four -- like the first three seasons -- focused on Felicity Porter's relationships with Ben and Noel. As in each previous season those relationships were complicated by bad decisions or misunderstandings on the parts of the various individuals involved. The major event of this season comes early on, as a depressed Felicity in a moment of weakness sleeps with Noel on the top of the building Ben and Noel live in with Sean and Meghan. There is no short-term fall out from this, but when Noel tells Ben about this in a moment of weakness, all hell breaks lose. Things are patched up, but something remains broken in Ben and Felicity's relationship. There are many other events in the season, from the near death of Ben's dad to his sexual encounter with an older woman during the time when he and Felicity were broken up resulting in her becoming pregnant with Ben's child. But the expected end of the series comes to a close with Ben and Felicity at Stanford, where he cheats on her.
This is where the series takes an unexpected and uncharacteristic twist. Felicity, deeply regretting all the events following her infidelity with Noel, laments the course of her life to Meghan, who in turns attempts her most sophisticated spell yet, a reversal of time. Felicity wakes to a time before the night that she slept with Noel. But redoing her life does not go anywhere near as smoothly as she had hoped. Suffice it to say that the author of the spell that Meghan cast undertakes a new spell, sending her back into the future. Once back, she forgives Ben his own infidelity and -- as the series draws to a close -- they apparently patch everything up for good. My major complaint with the series finale is that it was essentially a clip show. A substantial portion of that final episode was footage from other episodes. Fans of the show surely deserved better than that. That being said, at least it was a better than normal clip show.
And so FELICITY comes to an end. It remained a strong show from beginning to end, though there are multiple signs of unwanted and unhelpful network interference. Still, we are lucky that the show managed to get all the way through the four years it took Felicity to make her way all the way through college. Hopefully we will someday get another first rate show about going to college. If we don't, at least we have FELICITY.

Not as much fun or as interesting as previous seasons.....but a nice wrap up to a wonderfully written series. The last 6 or so episodes of the season are very out-of-the-blue for this show, and not my cup of tea, but I do not let it diminsih my enjoyment of all of the shows and seasons that came before.
