Todd informs Atlantis that a rogue Wraith has acquired several Z.P.M.'s to power a formidable new Hive ship. When the Daedalus engages it in battle but is unable to defeat it, the team gets a message indicating it is headed to Earth.
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 … More 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.

Stargate Atlantis was a brilliant series and unfortunately it was cut too soon. It was doing very well in the ratings. hide show
I love this show. Who would have thought that it would surpass the original? It really was brilliant from the get go! The action, camaraderie, adventure and family friendly content really does make the Stargate franchise unique. SG1 was brilliant and so far reaching I didn't think that anything could top it then along comes Stargate Atlantis. You really do start to love it from the very first episode. This does not include Stargate Universe which is absolutely rubbish! I can't believe that Atlantis was canceled for Stargate Universe which has been nothing but disappointing so far. Cancel SGU and bring back SGA!
This is the greatest Stargate series by far! hide show
This great show would be nothing without some great characters. The characters that made a difference are Colonel John Sheppard, Teyla, Ronon Dex, Dr. Rodney McKay, Dr. Elizabeth Weir, and Dr. Carson Beckett. You can't have this show without Colonel Sheppard, because he is the life of the party, so to speak. Well you could have this show without him, but it wouldn't be a very good one. Teyla, well she's kind of hard to describe, but she's a must have in this show. Dr. Weir I could do without, but I have to admit that without her, Colonel Sheppard would never have gone to Atlantis. Ronon Dex... all I can say about him is that he's being chased by the wraith and he tends to over react, but he's a great character too. And of course Dr. Carson Beckett, let's all admit that without him probably most of the people in Atlantis would be dead right now, because he is the doctor.
Great spin off the mark of excellence being how well the show distingished itself from the original Stargate show. hide show
Great spin off the mark of excellence being how well the show distinguished itself from the original Stargate show. A cast of interesting and mostly consistent characters. By the end even the scifi stereotypes were fun to watch. Teyla was more than a hot Amazon her character brought great strength and rarely a boring story line. Ronan even transcended the typical super warrior and we saw him as a human being and valuable member of the team. Shepard was a great lead and person you enjoy seeing out front of a team just like O'neal. McKay and Keller rounded out the core group with comic relief and compelling personal dramas. Why this show was canceled after just five years I will never know. It's sad to think all the network cares about is syndication and then the next five year journey and onto the next. I hope to see all these actors in many other things to come. They did great jobs and the loss of such a wonderful universe of Atlantis was heart breaking.
Great addition to the Stargate universe hide show
I was a fan of Stargate and when they announced the spin-off to original and was slightly skeptical about the spin-off. But when it premired I could not get away from it. It was awsome, and it just made me wan to see more.
Set in a different galaxy than the original, SA does not deal with Gou'ald very much, the main villians for much of the original series, but instead with a race called the Wraith. These guys live off of human life force. The main story is that for the first season they are stuck in this new galaxy because they do not have the power to get home until the 2nd season. Many of the adventures are about finding out about the galaxy that they now live in, but also about the city, Atlantis, that they live in.
Old players fromt he original series do pop in occassionaly and they are welcomed, with Sam taking over control of the Atlantis base for a while.
A great show and definately worth a watch on tv or dvd.
This is the spin off of the successive stargate sg1 series but this show really kicks it up a notch.Being set in another galaxy the atlantis team is left to fend off the new enemies the wraith who are the show's main nemesis. hide show
Stargate Atlantis begins with a bang with the first episode Rising which basically set the pace for the entire show.Atlantis is far from a copy of sg1 being set in another galaxy plague with it's own problems and a new enemy known as the wraith.The wraiths motives are different from the goauld of sg1 however they both have an egostical and manical nature that sometimes has an alluring appeal to them.I would admit that the show does have it's low points filled with filler episodes that do nothing to advance the overall plot of stoping the wraith.Another
great aspect is that we get to learn so much about the ancients or the lantians as they are often called,in a way humanising a race that we as viewers had no real connections to.
