I kind of liked it. Mainly I suppose because Keller shut up for most of the episode but I liked the fun monster mash element of it . 7/10

Broken Ties Okay so it was two SG-1 episodes combined and the names changed but it was good fun, continued Ronan's nice little Sateda angst storyline and actually made me feel tense for Ronan. I also thought that Teyla's family over friends dilemma was nicely played and it was nice to see the old team loyalty and willing to sacrifice for each other. 8/10
THE DAEDALUS VARIATIONS A good team story with a good enemy, it was a bottle episode with very little impact on the show as a whole but was an hour of good solid Stargate entertainment. 7/10
Ghost in the Machine if this had been the story of a renegade replicator it would have been an enjoyable enough if a tad dull episode, it had a great guest actress and wasn't a bad premise, however as the conclusion to one of last season's major storylines and the conclusion of a major characters storyline this was dreadful. It didn't answer any of the questions posed previously and just felt like an almighty cop out to get rid of the Weir character once and for all. An episode that would have been better never made. 4/10 (and three of those are for the acting alone)
The Shrine A standout for the Keller and McKay's characters but in entirely different ways. David Hewlett brilliant as always gave the Mckay character warmth and humanity as he faced death.....it was just a pity I'd seen this story two years before in the Tao of Rodney. I didn't learn anything about McKay that I hadn't already, this would have been a brilliant chance to showcase Teyla or Ronan's attitudes to dying but instead we were treated to yet another McKay rerun. As for Keller. Words beyond incompetant and unethical fail me. 3/10, and all three of that is for David Hewlett's acting.
Whispers A good fun monster of the week story, but it raised more questions. Why couldn't we have a team adventure with Beckett on this one like we did seasons 1- 3 (probably because they thought we'd remember how much we used to enjoy those). What was the point of Vega? . Fun, creepy and good banter but a waste of an opportunity for some old style atlantis fun. 7/10
Oh and yet again no Teyla or Ronon
The QueenOdd episode, didn't really reveal much more about Todd or give us insight into teyla, but fun enough. Instantly forgettable. 6/10
Tracker Oh this was bad on so many levels. Ronan the chump, McKeller, love triangle, supa keller......if she's so super duper now why did she need the boysto save her in the first place......2/10
First Contact Good fun. good concept, good guests. No more needed to be said. 8/10
The Lost Tribe As above but loses a point for having Keller stop off on the on board hair salon and for Ronan the Chump 7/10
Outsiders I loved it. team plus Beckett, Beckett and McKay getting themselves into ridiculous amounts of trouble, cracking plot. And just how I like my dark, good people doing bad things for the greater good. 9/10
Inquisition A court room clips show. Somewhere in there was the kernal of a good idea, that the locals might not be too happy about the price they were having to pay for Atlantis actions but the execution of the idea was triumphalist tosh and very disappointing. 3/10
The Prodigal Half of me loved it and half of me hated it, I loved Michael, the final fight and Teyla most of all, but the overall story was silly and it ended the best villain they had. 5/10
Remanants I loved it, great acting from all concerned elevated the premise from slightly daft to brilliant. 9/10
Brainstorm There isn't enough love, money or chocolate in the world that could have gotten me to watch that episode again, the worst episode in the franchise (including Life from SGU) with no redeeming features. It brought a tacky cheapness to the franchise which i really thought, even with all the problems, I would never see. 0/10
Infection Another rehash of previous storylines (the writers were really running on empty) however the positives were Todd, snark and good character interaction. The downside was the plot being the same as the retrovirus in seasons 2 and 3 and Keller, doing what Keller does worst. 5/10
Identity Sigh, Keller, lost in a wood..........Neeva was fun, the near execution was fun but with a disappointing ending and we got another reminder of why Beckett was a far better character than Keller which while always worthwhile was so obvious it wasn't really needed. 6/10
Vegas Didn't really work for me, cutely shot but so far from the series story that it was just pointless. Cool car though, 5/10
enemy at the Gate It had good things, the team interaction was great and all the worthwhile characters got a chance to shine however there are so many problems that unfortunately they outshine the positives by a mile. A very poor season and series ender. 5/10
So all in all it wasn't a good season overall.....IMO of course
