I enjoyed Series 5, but I did find it somewhat disappointing compared to what it could have been. Even though I had my magazine tournament tree to record the results, I could barely remember how half the fights played out when I revisited it two years later (for example, I wrongly thought Tornado had broken down against Diotor) Also, I now agree that returning to the 1v1 format was probably a mistake; not only did it result in more meh fights, but also meant there was little time for behind-the-scenes chat, one of the things I like most about Series 3 and 4.
