Are you kidding? This season was completely uneven and heavy handed. Weiner's ego now takes precedence over good story telling and subtle writing.

I have a different opinion from most of what is expressed here (Season 5 was, to me, easily the most erratic yet). But while I hate to nitpick, there's one point that I don't think is even up for debate – NO ONE with a last name other than Weiner considers Glen Bishop a "series favorite". Any intrigue the character has on paper is MURDERED by the fact that kid is the worst working actor on the planet.

Great writeup and great season. If anything, I thought the season finale was a let down, but other than that, solid through and through.

I don't know, I really don't see how one can list "Tea Leaves" as the weak spot of the season but not list "Christmas Waltz" and its horribly on the nose revisiting of Paul. Mad Men does a great job of subtly bringing in movements and what not into the time line of the show but the whole Hare Krishna thing was really ridiculous and odd and just felt like a way to bring us up to speed on Paul and how horrible his life still is (and how we still don't care). It all felt a little obvious. Much more than "Tea Leaves" where that episode at least had many great moments for Jones and really fits in with the whole arc of the season in my opinion (which really dealt with death and fear of being left behind).

This season completely blew. Leave it to The Playlist to heap praise on something that was incredibly crappy.
