worst season 5 SGA episode

[DJsGirl]

I believe it was "Enemy at the Gate" where the characters brought in the "global warming" (man-made climate change) issue. To bring a political issue into the story line was a little tacky to me, and unnecessary. However, it was still a great episode...though diminished by the promotion of a controversial issue.

The global warming episode was "Brainstorm"

[Lythisrose]

Brainstorm. No one else even close. Although Identity and Tracker make a fair bid for second.

[DJsGirl]

I have to say Identity then Brain Storm.

For he longest time I could not understand the purpose of an episode like Identity. Later I realized they were using the episode as a reminder of the ancient communication device to set up SGU. Other than that it was a completely waisted episode.

Brain Storm had a couple of funny-ish moments with the introduction of the other scientist. Other than that... Another pointless episode. No team interaction, no helping the plot along... Nothing.

Talking about yourself again?

You also forgot Whispers

Hey think yourself lucky I remembered four eps

I do agree that Identity was just to help set up SGU. Among other things, up until that episode the stones had never been used for a two-way consciousness transfer (Vala's communication through Daniel was only one way) and it was obviously something they wanted to establish before SGU.

I also agree that it was a wasted episode. . It's kinda sad that it's the last episode of Stargate I ever watched.

Identity, or the Seed. Didn't really like Brain Storm, but at least it had good guest stars.

wow I cant believe so many people didn't like brainstorm, I loved that episode the humour was so good, though I don't think there are any season 5 or any sga episodes I don't like for that matter except for 1 season 3 episode

I do agree identity was some what boring but I loved tracker and brainstorm cant believe so many people dont

Ghosts in the Machine should have been removed to, it wasn't needed and ruined it without the original actor

Never underestimate the irrational Keller hate

[Killdeer]

Eh. I loved Rodney, liked McKeller, and, well, didn't hate Jennifer. And yet I still didn't think Brain Storm was a very good episode. It was mediocre at best IMO. Although I probably wouldn't call it the worst of the season - there were a lot of sub-par episodes in season five.

[Lythisrose]

(Mc)Keller hate is quite rational.

[jelgate]

Their is nothing rational about the level of things I have seen people say about that character.

[Lythisrose]

I'd have to agree that some of the hatred expressed was over the top, but at its' base the reasons for disliking where they went with the character are sound. At least to my eyes.

[jelgate]

I don't especially when the rationale was seen in other characters that no one complained about

[Lythisrose]

But to put them all into one character?! All of them can be criticized, that's for sure though.

[jelgate]

It stinks of hypocrisy to complain of Keller whining
