I borrowed this idea from my friend Camy 
. She started a thread for some in-depth analysis and review of season 4 as a whole, and I thought some really interesting commentary and discussion came out of it. So here's a thread to do the same for Season 5. Break down what worked and what didn't, what you loved and what was a disappointment. Go character by character, episode by episode, talk about the season as a whole, discuss character arcs, story arcs...whatever works for you. I saw several ways of doing it on the other thread and I thought they were all very interesting.
The bottom line is that this is a place for in-depth commentary on the season as a whole.
I'll add my two cents later after I've actually seen the last couple of episodes, but I thought I'd start the thread now.

I loved the scene in S&R with the dream sequence John had starting with the romantic dinner with Teyla, we got some insight into how he feels, also how it changes and Ford is there, he feels guilt for not being able to save his people and he doesn't want to fail again with Teyla. I adored the scene between Teyla and Rodney when he was delivering her baby, it just goes to prove these two should have had way more scenes together.
Ok I didn't like how John went on the rescue mission to save Teyla in his condition, that to me was very reckless on his part and equally as reckless on Keller's part for letting him go, he could have got them all killed. The shrine was another thing that irked me, the way Keller was acting, especially with her patient who was slowly losing his mind, to me it was very unprofessional, also I thought we could have had a Ronon/Rodney scene and a Teyla/Rodney scene, they are after all supposed to be his team mates and friend but you wouldn't think it. TLT was another ep, Teyla being used as a babysitter again then getting forgot about for the rest of the ep. hmmm Brain storm, well the less said about that the better I think, Identity - why we needed the third last ep of the series to be mostly about the guest star who we've never seen beofore is beyond me plus they hit the reset button with Keller 
I don't know if the writers have heard of continuity..Vegas was just aweful beyond belief, the music was terrible and very irritating, I still don't understand why they couldn't have had Teyla and Ronon in this ep when they had they wraith in it, that didn't make sense to me. EatG was good but Shep going on suicide missions is starting to get rather tiresome now, and since when can Carson fly Atlantis?
