Spoiler for Episode 5, first impression, a.k.a. filler report.:

The Gaara vs Deidara fight starts out with some more filler, before the intro starts. Gaara "appearently" captures Deidara in a big ball of sand, and the sand jounins of course think it's over. All of a sudden Deidara blows his way out (didn't know he was immune to explosions) only to have Gaara capture him with sand and fling him around. The sand is "annoying" according to Deidara.

Cut to the bell test (I thought the scene was over but we're not that lucky). Tsunade comes and tells them Naruto and Sakura are now going to perform missions together with Kakashi.

Back at the sand. Some sand jounins who are appearantly half blind can't see the big ball of sand in the air and asks Kankurou where Gaara is (he points at the big ball). Then Gaara takes Deidara's arm but the scene is so drawn out and weird compared to the manga I don't even know where to begin. Then we get Deidara's analysis of Gaara and he prepares a big bomb for the village (pretty much like the manga).

Poor Sasori is still waiting and laments about it. Finally some good music as Gaara's sand chases Deidara around a little. Stops in a moment though. Baki comments that if Gaara goes crazy the village is in danger, but Kankurou comments that Gaara won't do that like he did before. Cut to a flashback Gaara Kankurou flashback. I don't remember the dialogue word for word from the manga but the flashback seemed much longer than I remember it. Still a nice scene though.

Back at konohagakure. Kakashi brags about a new jutsu he has made. Naruto and Sakura run off for ramen and Jiraiya talks a bit with Kakashi (he turns Naruto over to him), then Kakashi dissapears, much to the joy of Naruto who gets to eat with Sakura all alone (gets to treat too though, and wasn't glad about it).

Back at sand for some more filler. All the sand ninjas, trying to support their kazekage, pick up weapons and stand looking at Deidara in the sky (yes true). The episode ends as Deidara finally launches his bomb at the village.

What, did you honestly think the fight would end in this episode?

I'm sad to say the Deidara fight doesn't pick up at all, and still (except for one scene) the music was all but absent. The incessive cutting between the two villages didn't help.
