I came very late to the show once I saw that it was available with Amazon Prime.
We should be grateful it got an ending and not a cliffhanger.
Season 5 was a bit of a drag and It felt like we crawled to the finish line.
The finale had a bit of everything:
Yes, there are parts that were a bit too convenient like the wormhole travel, Todd having two zpms at his disposal (how many more is he hiding! oh well it doesn't matter now), the stargate placed on a Hive ship (I mean it was initially smart to act as a stargate block), and enough firepower from one nuke to take out a hive. I also found it interesting that they didn't decide to give anyone an honorable death scene, given that the the show was canceled. The only character that actually dies is Weir. It would have been nice to at least feel the weight of losing Ronan.
Enjoyed the show and its diifferent plot arcs. They really under used Teyla, Ronan in the latter seasons. I'm going to miss the stargate dialing sound, those obligatory medieval world episodes and ancient tech we never knew more about. I'll miss the entire cast excluding McKay.

The finale had a bit of everything:
- Nostalgia -- the chair, the city going into orbit/hyper drive, seeing the inside of the Hive ship one last time.
- Atlantis returning to Earth.
- The banter between Sheppard and Todd. I'm glad they didn't go away from their usually respectful but cautious bond. Even until the end, both guys still kept their biases for each other's kind.
