As soon as the AtS S5 DVDs showed up at my house, "Smile Time" hit the player. There are days I find myself with the Self-Esteem Song stuck in my head.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Hey, it looks like I'm in good company.
S5 has individual redeeming moments, e.g. "Smile Time" and the aforementioned Cordy and Connor eps, but I'm firmly with Plei in the meh corner when one takes the season as a whole.

Not a bad place for it to end. Nope. Not at all. The final scene killed me, even more than the last scene from 4x22.
PP and NFA feel more like the start of what should have been S6. There wasn't enough time to do the story justice and yank it up by the bootstraps out of mediocrity. I watched because it was the end, and the end was too soon.
