I didn't like the final scene with Teyla and Sheppard; after some good and believable conflict, we ended up pretty much with the formulaic, "I'm sorry, you were right"--"No, I'm sorry, you were right". I want to see Rodney react! Let him spaz, let him be supportive, let him stick his foot in his mouth up to his knee--I can imagine several ways it could go but can't predict any.
I'm with melandune, above; the season just doesn't feel right to me. I keep seeing people talk about character scenes and character episodes, but I felt like John and Teyla's conversation at the end could have happened on any of several shows because it didn't seem particular to these characters, and that wasn't the only scene this season that struck me that way. Bits like Ronon congratulating Teyla and then trying to get her to name the baby after him, John's irrational but understandable overreaction (not just banning Teyla from missions but not talking to her, because if he doesn't talk about a problem, it will go away), even their encounter in front of the clothing racks--those worked for me. The ending seemed too formulaic, and I really liked niamaea's commentary on it here.
