Overall an awesome season so far.

[GoSpikey]

I'd like to put them in order for me as well, but the problem is that it's been either long since I've seen the earlier episodes, some, like I said yesterday, I've only seen once, but that doesn't mean it were bad eps...

What I can say:

Spoiler:

Search And Rescue:
I liked it very much, it had only one Michael/Teyla scene, but it was a nice one. Sam was awesome, the shooting the hyperdrive of the Cruiser out of order was cool, the exploding the hyperdrive was great, etc. VERY good episode.

The Seed:
While this episode has a slower start, and a fast ending, it's still a very decent episode. There's team in there, I believe, and it's an episode that possibly gives us an insight on how the Wraith Hives/Cruisers etc are built. It was very necessary to do an episode like that, it's something that everybody's dying to know, and I like it how they delivered it. (Rather than making Todd tell them everything they want to know.) The 'Entity' taking over Keller's mind was an awesome thing, and hopefully we'll learn more about it in 'Infection'. (This time partially through Todd, probably - confirmation.)

Broken Ties:
Is a very difficult episode for me to judge, because I haven't seen it in a long time, and because I didn't 'feel it' with the Wraith, and that was an important part of the 'first real Wraith ep' of the season. I hope to watch it again soon, as I do with about everything, and I really hope that I've accepted it by then, and that I manage to enjoy the episode like other people were already doing...

The Daedalus Variations:
I remember it having a nice start, and overall the episode was very good, then I remember the comment about the 'solution being too easy', but what I mostly found strange was Teyla's huge jump in the usage of technology. It's not that she's dumb, far from it, but suddenly she knows everything about the ship? It's nice that she does by season 5, don't get me wrong, but 'shooting a P-90 versus all but flying the ship is a huge difference. Thing is, she might have handled more Earth equipment (doesn't she have to type up reports of her missions? Since when can she read the English language, then? I don't think those translator nanites are so good that she can just type/read?), but I wouldn't really have noticed it until this, the big shock... Still nice aliens though, but then again, they went down, just like the rest...

Ghost In The Machine:
I don't remember my full thoughts about this ep. A Replicator ep isn't very high on my 'to rewatch' list, and that goes for this one too. I do think it was a nice ep, with the computer voice, was it? And then at the end we got this entry by Fran in the database, who knows what information she's added (Wraith tech -!!!-, new species tech,...), I mean, you'd think we'd actually heard about it in a 'uh oh, we could be in serious problems some day soon, but nope. Ignored again. Only one line about it in FC? Nice continuation. Well, at least they haven't *completely* forgotten about it yet?

The Shrine:
Nice Rodney ep, 'yes' for bringing back Jeannie, but sometimes it was a bit odd, seeing McKay being retarded... Despite of it being a very good episode, is there something we haven't done with his brain yet? (Made him super smart, with Ancient powers -check-, made him retarded -check-, drilled a whole in his brain -check-,...) Now give other people some development.

Whispers:
I watched this episode in the early afternoon, at a time where I can't be made scared of anything, so this episode didn't do much for me. It was predictable from top to bottom, or start to end, except for their beloved Vega getting the axe.

The Queen:
Did I ever mention I didn't know what to think of it when I first saw it? Because Todd was so OOC, or 'suddenly super friendly'... The perfect host. His opening scene was sooo strange. Saying 'Welcome to my ship.' like it was 'Welcome to another year at Hogwarts.' But now it's totally love, even if that scene is still strange. We get a nice visual on the inside workings of some of the politics between Wraith. 'Kill your superior, and their spot is yours.'

Tracker:
I went in expecting nothing, and got a good episode in return. Lots of Wraith!

First Contact:
The Todd fans knew it was coming, and it was very nicely done. Todd getting somewhat sentimental with Keller, something he can't say to his own species, but he can voice it to her. Great ep in general, too.

The Lost Tribe:
I had problems with Todd in this one, the part where he didn't believe them, apparently, although it was logical to use the Daedalus as a weapon against the facility. He didn't want to do it, but thanks to Ronon he had no more choice. Wasn't it easier to just take some crystals out, instead of shooting the crap out of them? Pfft. But I guess the 'Todd' things get fixed up in the next ep, or Shep acknowledge that he had no other choice, and that he would have done the same, heck, he already did, there were just no people on board...

Outsiders:
Wow, I was afraid that the Commander wouldn't work for me (as the one in Broken Ties didn't yet), but wow! This was an amazing episode! So many yummy Wraith (Penny was back as his yummy BAMSR Todd lookalike, and wow!) and the rest was tolerable, lol! Nah, it was a great episode!

Hope that's about it what I wanted to share about the eps.

You seem a little scarad of the truth

I don't know what scarad means...

[jelgate]

Its not my fault I'm sleep-deprivied. Its the fault of those dictator college professors.

[Linda06]

Oh yes blame them

[jelgate]

I always do. Its never my fault and always someone elses.

[Mitchell82]

I'm definitely not against the pairing itself but I don't think it should be made canon, I doubt McKeller is going to take from my enjoyment of the rest of S5 anyway and who knows, even though I'm not a shipper I might be ok with what happens in 'Brain Storm' as I was with 'The Last Man'.

I'm usually against cannon shipping though there are a few exceptions (S/J D/V and this could be the third)

[Mitchell82]

Nope.
