#really my only complaint is that they have that random girl there instead of Radek and Lorne

Stargate-Atlantis S5: E20 Enemy at the Gate

Seriously, Todd and Sheppard are pretty much the best. I love Todd's gruff chuckle.

Sheppard: I find out you're playing us, I'm not waiting for authorization, there won't be any paperwork. I'm just going to kill you.

I love that Woolsey is considerate enough to give Ronon and Teyla an out and that they didn't take it.

The chair was moved to Area 51. Queue the John "you have got to be kidding me" Sheppard face.

Well, you're not asking, I'm volunteering. "

No. He can't do a suicide mission. Not another. Not without his team there.

I love Lorne getting Teyla and Rodney out when Ronon gets killed.

Do me a favor. When Atlantis shows up, tell them I said goodbye.

Rodney and Teyla and Lorne hear him. 😭

And so, on yet another suicide mission, Rodney is there to save his life.

I hate when they tell him Ronon is dead.

Ronon is such a Sheppard, Take 2. The Wraith heals him, and Ronon has a snarky remark all ready. The Wraith starts to torture Ronon, and here comes Sheppard! Man, I love it! And then, when they're prepared to die together to save Earth, they're rescued by Atlantis. She came to save her people.

Sheppard: I'll make sure you get home.

Ronon, shrugs: this is my home.

I love that Sheppard basically elbows his way in between Ronon and Teyla. I love that Rodney has Keller. I love that Woolsey, another outcast, is Atlantis' final leader. I love, I love, I love everything about this show.

There are minor things I wished they'd done differently for the final episode, but overall, it is really good. I've finished my second watch through and feel like I'm leaving my friends behind. This show has been such a great joy to watch. I've laughed, cried, had my life enriched, been fortified, and reminded of how important home and friendship are. Quite a gift.
