Stargate Atlantis is a Canadian-American science fiction television series created by Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper as a spin off from its sister show, Stargate SG-1. The series resumes the story of the 'Lost City' and 'New Order' episodes of SG-1, where a military team led by Colonel (now Brigadier General) Jack O'Neill, Dr.Daniel Jackson, Major (now Lt. Colonel) Samantha Carter and the JaffaTeal'c, use an ancient alien artifact called the Stargate to travel to different planets to explore and find new technology. The series pilot 'Rising' takes place in the year 2004 after the events of 'Lost City' and 'New Order', when they finally find the lost city of the Ancients.

Stargate Atlantis premiered on July 16, 2004 on the channel Sci Fi Channel. The Sci Fi Channel would air all the five seasons made for the series. Since the American broadcast splits each season to allow the production to catch up, the British and Canadian channels Sky One and The Movie Network aired the second part of some seasons before their American counterpart. Stargate Atlantis' finale episode premiered in the United States on the Sci Fi Channel on January 9, 2009. The series finale was also the series' 100th episode. All five seasons of Stargate Atlantis are available on DVD. A direct-to-DVD film tentatively titled Stargate: Extinction was planned, but was later shelved.^[1]

The cast of the first season consisted of Joe Flanigan starring as Maj. John Sheppard, David Hewlett as Dr. Rodney McKay, Rachel Luttrell as Teyla Emmagan, Torri Higginson as Elizabeth Weir and Rainbow Sun Francks as First Lt. Aiden Ford. Aiden Ford was reduced to recurring character in season two and was replaced by Jason Momoa as the extraterrestrial human Ronon Dex in episode three of season two. Francks continued to have a recurring role in season 2, until his character's death (although this was not confirmed). After Torri Higginson's departure as a main character from Stargate Atlantis after Season 3, she was replaced by Amanda Tapping's Carter from the sister show. Paul McGillion, Robert Picardo and Jewel Staite were also main characters. McGillion became a main character in season two until season three as Carson Beckett, Picardo replaced Tapping as a main character as the new leader of the Atlantis expedition as Richard Woolsey for season five, and Staite portrayed Jennifer Keller as a main character in season five.

Series overview[edit]

Episodes in bold are continuous episodes, where the story spans over 2 or more episodes.

Episodes[edit]

Season 1 (2004–05) [edit]

The series picks up the story arc from Stargate SG-1's 'Lost City', where people from all around the world come together to form an expedition and discover the wonders of Atlantis. Discovering that they have been cut off from Earth, they must fend for themselves, and discover a powerful new enemy bent on human subjugation.

Season 2 (2005–06) [edit]

The story continues when the Daedalus arrives and renews the expedition's connection to Earth. This takes place alongside the Ori story arc in SG-1, and the Wraith become an even larger threat in the Pegasus Galaxy. But what they deal with in their second year might be more than they can handle, and Dr. Carson Beckett's retrovirus is more trouble than it's worth.

Season 3 (2006–07) [edit]

This season concentrates on more character driven stories. Along with new insight on the characters, the expedition discovers a new threat, one that could be the precursor to the Replicators. Some important characters leave the series in this season, and the fate of Atlantis once again is in the hands of the humans from Earth.

Season 4 (2007–08) [edit]

Amanda Tapping (Col. Samantha Carter) joined the cast as a regular for 14 episodes, Jewel Staite (Dr. Jennifer Keller) became a recurring character for eight episodes, while regular cast member Torri Higginson (Dr. Weir) became a recurring cast member for four episodes. The season started September 28, 2007, airing on the SCI FI channel in the United States. In the United Kingdom, the season premiered on Tuesday, October 9, 2007 on Sky One.

Season 5 (2008–09) [edit]

After being a regular character in season four, Amanda Tapping (Colonel Samantha Carter) became a guest star in several episodes. Robert Picardo (Richard Woolsey) joined the cast as a permanent character as Woolsey assumes command of Atlantis. Actress Jewel Staite (Dr. Jennifer Keller) was promoted from a recurring character to a permanent cast member. Michael Shanks (Dr. Daniel Jackson) and Paul McGillion (Dr. Carson Beckett) appeared as guest stars in this season, with McGillion appearing in five episodes. Actress Torri Higginson had stated that she would not be reprising her role as Dr. Elizabeth Weir in the fifth season.^[2]Rainbow Sun Francks as Aiden Ford was given a brief cameo appearance in 'Search and Rescue'. This was the last season of Stargate Atlantis.^[3]

Movies[edit]

After the August 20, 2008 announcement that Season 5 of Atlantis would be its last,^[4] it was announced the following day that the series would be continued with at least one direct-to-DVD movie. More movies were expected to follow in the Atlantis series if the first movie had been successful.^[5] However, this first project (entitled Stargate: Extinction) was put on hold and eventually got shelved permanently in 2011.^[6]

In my opinion, Mauser used only 1-9999, the same as DWM and Erfurt. There certainly must have been WaA. I suspect these were unusual pistols, odd numbers created by the man doing the numbering.

Fan's Choice[edit]

Stargate Atlantis Fan's Choice is a Special Edition Blu-ray, released on August 9, 2009, which contained two episodes voted for by fans.^[7] The episodes chosen were the first, 'Rising', and last, 'Enemy at the Gate', episodes of the series.

Stargate: Atlantis began airing on July 16, 2004, and concluded after five seasons with the episode 'Enemy at the Gate' airing January 9, 2009.

OverviewEdit

Stargate Atlantis 6th Season

Stargate: Atlantis was set up with the seventh season finale of Stargate SG-1, 'Lost City, Part 2', in which SG-1 discovers an advanced outpost, built by the Ancients, under the ice of Antarctica. It is through this outpost that, in Stargate: Atlantis' series premiere 'Rising', an eight symbol gate address is found that leads to the long-sought-after 'Lost City' of the Ancients— also known as Atlantis. The search for this city had been an ongoing theme since the sixth season of Stargate SG-1.

An international expedition is thus sent through the Stargate to the far off Pegasusgalaxy where the AncientCity-shipAtlantis resides. However, soon after the discovery of this grand city, a terrible enemy known as the Wraith is awakened. Throughout the series, the Wraith serve as the main antagonists, with the Atlantis expedition being the protagonists. The ultimate driving force of the series is the protection of Atlantis and the discovery of advanced Ancient technology, continuing the SGC's original mandate.

The show itself has the same feel as the later seasons of Stargate SG-1 in that the overall atmosphere is light, with the exception of more serious moments.

ProductionEdit

BeginningsEdit

When Stargate SG-1 producers, Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper thought the series was going to end after season five, due to Showtime's announcement that they were canceling the show, they came up with the idea of making a new feature film. However, as the ratings on its new home at the Sci-Fi Channel were quite good, the idea was pushed after season six and later, after season seven. Talk then began of a spin-off series and the producers were left with a serious dilemma, since the seventh season of Stargate SG-1 had been planned to lead up to the great discovery of the lost city of the Ancients, Atlantis. The seventh season of Stargate SG-1, the two part episode 'Lost City, Part 1' and 'Lost City, Part 2,' was supposed to be a bridge between Stargate SG-1 and a new spin-off, either a show or a movie, which was not planned to run at the same time as Stargate SG-1. Wright and Cooper rewrote the script as the two-part season seven finale, and moved the setting of the story. The city of Atlantis, originally planned to be on Earth under Antarctica in place of Stargate Command, was moved to the Pegasusgalaxy. The change was to prevent fans from wondering why Stargate Command would not come to help them, and also gave the producers the chance to start afresh and not be an identical copy of the original show.

The series received the green light on November 17, 2003 and started shooting in February 2004. It premiered on July 16 of the same year. From the start, Wright and Cooper ruled out casting 'star names', on the basis of the financial pressures they were already experiencing with 'star names' on Stargate SG-1. The casting was made more complicated because Atlantis got the go-ahead in November, and had to compete with other networks during pilot season.

The character most difficult to cast was the then-called Dr. Ingram, an unexcitable scientist expert on the Stargate. As the first day of shooting drew nearer and they were unable to find the right actor, they came to realize they had brought in the wrong character. Longtime Stargate director Martin Wood and Brad Wright thought it should be Dr.Rodney McKay, who had already appeared in a guest role in three episodes of Stargate SG-1. British-born Canadian actor David Hewlett who had played McKay on 'Stargate SG-1' was contacted and arrived at the set the day after filming had started. Dr. Ingram had already been written in to the pilot episode of the show and so the same script was used and the character's name simply changed to Dr. McKay. Later scripts were written with Dr. McKay in mind.

Episode formatEdit

Stargate: Atlantis episodes feature a self-contained story that also contributes to the larger storyline of the war against the Wraith and their search for the means to destroy their enemy. Each season has also featured a two-parter episode, and a few episodes that, while not technically two-parters, had continued directly the story of the previous episode (for example, season 3 'Progeny' and 'The Real World'). Each season of Stargate: Atlantis features 20 episodes, and in the United States they are broadcast in two series of 10 episodes. The first 10 episodes air from mid-July to September in the United States, ending in the cliffhanger of a two-parter episode. The second half airs first in Canada, from November to January, ending also with a cliffhanger. In the United States, the second half aired from January to March during seasons 1 and 2, but season 3 aired from April to June 2007.

Each show begins with a cold open, sometimes preceded with a recap of events relevant to the upcoming narrative. The opening credits feature an original theme by Joel Goldsmith. Though they were drastically cut at the start of season 2, the full credits were recovered after the mid-season parter. The show blends different types of approaches to science-fiction, from action to comedy.

Stargate: Atlantis was shot at Bridge studios in Vancouver and on location in several places in British Columbia. The Pemberton Glacier doubled for Antarctica during the opening flying sequence in series premiere 'Rising'.

Season 2Edit

Stargate Atlantis Episodes Season 3

Season 2 brought casting changes. The creators found themselves with a problem with the character of Lt.Aiden Ford, a first season regular that the producers, and the actor himself, felt had not worked as intended and was highly underused as a result. Unwilling to write him out, the writers came with an idea to make the character more important, but that downgraded him to recurring. To replace him, they created Ronon Dex as a sidekick for Lt. ColonelJohn Sheppard, but finding an actor with the physical presence and the acting ability necessary was not easy until they saw Jason Momoa's tape. Mitch Pileggi was added to the cast in the recurring role of ColonelSteven Caldwell. Paul McGillion's character, Dr.Carson Beckett, became a regular from the fourth episode.

Season 3 and 4Edit

Seasons 3and 4 changed the cast lineup again. Paul McGillion's Dr.Carson Beckett was killed in the season 3 episode 'Sunday', then brought back at the end of season 4 as a recurring character. Amanda Tapping's ColonelSamantha Carter crossed from Stargate SG-1 for 14 episodes in Season 4, as the new leader of the expedition, while Torri Higginson's Dr.Elizabeth Weir became a recurring character in Season 4 instead of a regular.

Season 5Edit

Season 5 began with the departure of ColonelSamantha Carter as a lead in to the second Stargate SG-1 movie, Stargate: Continuum. Richard Woolsey of the International Oversight Advisory, played by Robert Picardo, took her place as Commander of Atlantis. Picardo and Jewel Staite, who played Dr.Jennifer Keller, were added to the main credited cast at the beginning of the season. Though cancelled after over half of the season had been produced, the season does not end on an unresolved cliffhanger.

CancellationEdit

Stargate Atlantis was cancelled on August 21, 2008, exactly two years after the cancellation of Stargate SG-1 was decided. The decision not to proceed with a 6th season has been hotly debated. The producers have stated that the decision was made entirely due to monetary reasons, as they did not want to pay the cast's increasing salaries.
