    Why do people have so much hate for season 5?

    I seem to come across alot of S5 hate. I'm not arguing that it was a "good" or "bad" season, but what exactly what were the things that were "bad" about it or that people didn't like?

    It is only a select few that make posts around here. Other sites have given it good feedback. It's sorta like how it seems everyone hates SGU, but it is only a select few that hate it, but are the loudest voices.

    To me it was not the best, but certainly not the worst.

      Too much focus on the McKay/Keller relationship.
      Too much focus on McKay.
      Too many episodes focussed on Keller.
      Too little focus on Ronon or Teyla.
      A couple or a few episodes that some thought were really awful.

      Just to name a few of the reasons people don't like it.

        What hedwig said.

        Also, before there was one episode per Season I found blah... in Season 5 were at least three or four and one I found really, really awful. That's saying a lot...
        I'm a 60%er.

        I will always place the mission first.
        I will never accept defeat.
        I will never quit.
        I will never leave a fallen comrade.

          I'm pretty much in agreement with hedwig, the McKeller thing really got to me. I wanted TEAM! And I do really love McKay, but not as the sole focus of the show.

          There were several of my favorite episodes in Season 5, but I didn't like the way it seemed to be headed with the focus on the above relationship to the exclusion of the other characters. Even if you tell me it wasn't on the screen all that much, it seemed to permeate the latter part of the season, even in the background. I hated it!

          That said, I'm always optimistic that things could have been steered back to a Team focus with another season... (rose coloured glasses firmly in place here) There were some really great moments in Season 5 so the basis for continuing the goodness was there, I just have to have hope that TPTB would have realized where they were heading and pulled back a bit.

            Pretty much only Episodes grabbed my attention in the whole season. That being the Asgard two parter and Vegas. And even then both could have been much better. I also began to slowly become completely disasociated with all the characters apart from Woolsey and Todd (full credit goes to both actors for that as well)
            Please do me a huge favour and help me be with the love of my life.

              season 5 had some nice episodes in it, but also a lot that I don't even remember now that I'm looking at the synopsis.
              I'm an average viewer. As plain as they come. People make TV shows based on my demographic.

                Season 5 started off very strong, had a good mid-season then we got eps like Inquisition, Brainstorm, and Identity. I never disliked so many eps in such a short period. Of course none of these eps were as bad as..................lol. You know which one I am referring to and it is not a SGA or SG-1 episode.

                      I couldn't stand almost half the eps of season 5 In previous seasons there were only 2 or 3 eps I didn't like.

                      huh, I thought Vegas was one of the worst eps of the Franchise *shrugs*

                        for me it was a huge let down from the awesomeness that was season 4. a arc based season worked so well for atlantis then season 5 comes around and it was right back to season 1-3 again

                              Season 5 didn't have the coherency of seasons 1-3, which were the best in my opinion (S1/3 are my faves)... I'd never put S5 in the same catagory.

                              Season 4 was hit-and-miss for me. There were things I really liked about it, and some things I could've done without...

                              Cheers.
