True to its name, Season 4: Numbers opens with lots and lots of numbers, as God gets jittery about the neighbors and conscripts all men over 20 into his army. The costume department rises to the challenge with a terrific collection of tribe-specific uniform designs, which will of course never be made available in the official show shop. The Levites are exempt from army service, partly because God realizes that he can trade them for all of the firstborns (and a stack of cash), but also because denim is a terrible material for combat fatigues. God then adds some more actions to his list of things that will get you killed for no good reason, including getting too close to the Tabernacle and looking at spoons when you’re not supposed to. (Numbers 1:1–4:20)
