  • Ended
The Lost City of Atlantis Has Been Found! A secret group of scientists have discovered the location of the famous lost city of Atlantis, but it's not on Earth. It's located in another galaxy altogether, the Pegasus galaxy. Stargate Atlantis, a spin-off from the highly successful Stargate SG-1 series, follows a multinational scientific and military group, lead by Diplomat Dr. Elizabeth Weir (played by actress Torri Higginson), headed on a one way trip to Atlantis. Their mission: to investigate the secrets of Atlantis, a city now known to have been built by ancient powerful beings, and bring whatever they discover back to Earth. They will be all on their own, with no means to return, with no means of rescue or support, unless they can find the technology they need in Atlantis to return them to Earth. Once in Atlantis, the group finds the city abandoned; asleep for tens of thousands of years, and no power source left for a return home. They must find a power source within Atlantis' own Pegasus galaxy using the same Stargate system that got them there or they will be stranded forever. On the first planet they visit, they accidentally waken a new, powerful, and more evil enemy than human kind has ever faced, the Wraith. And the Wraith are hungry for humans! Follow the extraordinary adventures of an SGA team lead by Major John Sheppard (played by actor Joe Flanigan), and his team made up by his second in command Lt. Aiden Ford (played by actor Rainbow Sun Francks), and the Astrophysicist/Scientist Dr. Rodney McKay (played by actor David Hewlett, reprising the role he played in Stargate SG-1). Joining the team will be Teyla Emmagan (played by actress Rachel Luttrell), a beautiful, exotic, and strong-willed woman from the Pegasus galaxy.moreless

  • great show shame rodney is the most annoying character ever

    9.0
    "Superb"
    if u liked sg1 you will like this the show hits all the right buttons and i think it ended at the right time u dont what it to get stale most of the time u will enjoy watching the wrath r a great enemy but at times stuff from sg1 is just repeated with different characters eg the replicaters
    had enough of them in sg1 and the sg1 movie

    i like most of the characters but rodney is so annoying i cant watch it again in 99% of the episodes
    rodney at some point it is impossible and he suddenly can at the last minute with is fine but its in most of the episodes which gets annoying

    thats why is a 9 and not a 10 all in all a great show would recommend if u r still readin at this pointmoreless

    Well what to say about the show, It came at the right time when SG-1 was coming to an end a nice smooth cross over and from there the show did prove itself. But 5 seasons by NO means was enough oh were finished with this but here is something else and we promise a movie then they had the nerve to stop everything saying it was due to money ok fair enough maybe it was but it was also claimed that there would be no movie due to the fact Atlantis fans would not give SGU a fair view but enough of the past when do we see the movie MGM is currently (slowly) getting back on there feet movie straight to dvd would be a nice kick off along with another SG-1 movie.
    Atlantis had it's fans it had it's stories and a great crew you could sit back and laugh at some great moments or sit at the edge of your seat.
    The episode that I love (they are a few) but the one that I enjoy is "Midway" it had the action a small hint of comedy (like many episodes) we all sat and watched as Ronon & Teal'c where for many the favourite from each show are now together for one episode and you knew it was going to be great and it was.
    I say enough is enough either bring it back or give us a movie or three.moreless
  • Where's the new episodes!!!

    9.8
    "Superb"
    Ok, I think we have waited long enough for a new episode. I am losing my patience and may have to take it off my favorite list. I watch the show faithfully and keep looking for the new episode date, Finally July 14th, 2006. Rodney McKay is my favorite character, he's the main reason I watch Atlantis, not to mention Leutenant Colonel Sheppard. Now why is it we have to wait so long for another episode!!! Just when you think it may have been cancelled it appears again.

    WOOHOO!!! I can't wait. I wonder whats in store for the Atlantis team...stay tuned till July 14th, 2006.moreless
  • great spin-off from SG-1

    9.5
    "Superb"
    please lete there be season 4 and beyond.There is so much comedy,twist,sci-fi and drama and it's just great.Can't wait for new episodes every week along with original Staragte SG-1.My favourite character is dr. Carson Beckett and then also Rodney Mckay,Shepard,Teyla,Ronan,Elizabeth and Zalenka.Can't wait what they will discover and what will they find.Cool that they bring new enemy in Atlantis(well not new ,really,eh!) and I hope that we will see more of them.My favourite ep in season 3 was Progeny and Sateda was also amazing among others.I also liked cross-over in STargate SG-1,ep 03 in season 10.Once again season 4 and beyondmoreless
  • Couldn't appreciate this show

    3.0
    "Bad"
    I loved watching SG-1 and I was very excited when this spin-off was produced. But after I watched some episodes I couldn't appreciate this show.Whereas SG-1 was blessed with good actors and interesting stories, Stargate Atlantis has poor plots and bad, sometimes even annoying actors. This show totally lacks charisma, humor and credibility. The weird aliens, the flashy action sequences and the tough female character didn't attract me at all. I couldn't find any reason to continue watching this bad show.moreless
