Season 5 Episodes
Top 5 episodes
1. The Shrine
David Hewlett's acting is always top-notch. While the plot is a little lame and the surgery with a power screwdriver? Not so much. But the acting by the whole cast, and that scene between McKay and Joe was amazing.
2. Vegas
The visuals in this episode were fabulous. I loved the totally different approach. Plus, an entire episode based on an AU--without our universe crossing over? Very cool. It's something I wish we could have seen more of. Joe's acting was phenomenal. And I loved the incarnation of Rodney we saw.
3. Search and Rescue
I just rewatched this and I loved the pairings (McKay and Lorne, Sheppard and Ronon). Sheppard's dream at the beginning was very moving and I loved that we saw Aiden again!! while the birthing scene was rather unlikely, it was a good episode overall with great snark and funny lines. I still like the introduction of Vegas even if she didn't say much. She was pretty kickass.
4. Whispers
while I wan't scared, it was creepy, unique, and I loved the team. Plus an episode with two dark-haired fellas, well, it was nice to see them interacting again.
5. Enemy at the Gate
It was packed full of action. Yes, some of it was very contrived (wormhole gate thingy, what?), and I know others didn't like the Rodney/Jennifer bit. But I liked how Woolsey stood up for Atlantis and I love Davis! (Though yes, the poor guy never gains promotion.) Just a good, ending episode.
Least 5 episodes
1. Inquisition
While it gave Woolsey an episode, it didn't really reveal much about him that we didn't already know. Yes, he can bribe and cajole and he stands up for his people. But in general, the episode was DULL.
2. Outsiders
Seriously, I had to look up what this episode was even about.
3. The Seed
A ridiculous plot.
4. Identity
While it wasn't horrible, it has been done before.
5. Remnants
I had to look this one up too. Once reminded, it wasn't so bad (the first real horror with Sheppard's hand), but the fact that I had to look it up meant it wasn't that interesting.
