Concept: 4/4 (Great)
Story: 3/4 (Good)
Characters: 3/4 (Good)
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 3/4 (Good)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 2/4 (Indifferent). Good effects, bad design.
Acting: 3/4 (Good). All over the map.
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent). The music has improved quite a bit from past seasons. But I sure do hate that theme song.
Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, 3/4). There's an unusually high density of great episodes in season five. There's a handful of really bad ones, too (things are pretty seriously marred by the arrival of Ensign Ro, or as we like to call her, cousin Pam), but not as many as in most seasons.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.7/4 (Good)
