Should the sixth season ever arrive on these shores (I doubt it - there aren't even any reruns anymore) I shall use your remarks as Martha's Handy Viewing Guide. ;-)

Mutter. I wish TPTB'd kept whoever wrote the good episodes like Hero's Heart and Sword of Veracity around and dropkicked everyone involved with the fifth season from here to Mt. Olympus. I hate it when series sort of peter out, rather than end strongly and dramatically.
