In terms of content, this fifth season is not even terribly strong. Some choices in the storyline are just a bit too unbelievable for that and the perspective of ''the journalist'' was really too forced for me. But in the last hour and a half, several sidelines from previous seasons are written very emotionally into a pleasant anti-climax. What remains is a warm feeling of farewell to the characters that you have come to love so much along the way. The perfect ending to perhaps one of the most inventive series ever conceived.
