Top review. How dare people put this show down. I've read comments about how bad this spin off is. Are they watching the same series as I? This is not a carbon copy of SG1, or should it be! The story lines are completely different and the characters are fantastic!
I love the Wraith! I look forward every week for this show. I just hope and pray that the Sci-Fi channel doesn't cancel it like they've canceled great sci-fi shows in the past! If Stargate SG1 ends it's run, this spin-off will take it's place without sacrificing it's quality! FAQ 1. What's the name of that song that plays during and at the end of episode 19 of season 5?

Atlantis , also called the Lost City of the Ancients and the City of the Ancestors , Atlantus in Ancient , is a City-ship built by the Ancients several million years ago. It has approximately the same internal space as found in Manhattan. The Ancients left the Milky Way galaxy several million years ago for the Pegasus galaxy , taking Atlantis with them and settling on a planet they named Lantea , which became their new capital.
Millions of years later, after the Lanteans —the name the Ancients came to be known by in the Pegasus galaxy—submerged the city to protect it from the Wraith , and returned to Earth through the Stargate. Over the ages, their story inspired the Tau'ri myth of Atlantis. A million of years ago, when the Ancient starship Destiny was launched, the City-ships were in the early design stage: both ''Destiny'' and the City-ships were competing projects with the same unknown mission. SGU : " Back to Destiny 1 ".
Atlantis was built 30 million years ago on Earth on the island later known as Santorini. SG1: " Transitions ". The city was later moved to the continent of Antarctica , which at the time was situated much closer to the planet's equator.
When a Plague similar to the one created by the Ori spread through the Milky Way galaxy, Atlantis was launched from its home, bound for the Pegasus galaxy.
A small outpost inhabited by a small number of Ancients was left behind on Earth, likely because they were infected and those who were departing the Milky Way didn't want to bring the plague to Pegasus. Another Ancient called Amara remained on Santorini in a stasis pod when the rest of her people left Earth in Atlantis.
Upon arriving in Pegasus they decided to settle on the planet Lantea. Once there the Ancients created a new Stargate Network and seeded the galaxy with life, just like they had once done in the Milky Way.
Soon life began to flourish where once there was none. Sometime later, during the war with the Wraith , several Wraith Hive ships destroyed all Ancient colonies until Atlantis was all that was left. Hive ships went to Atlantis and started the First siege of Atlantis. The Ancients managed to defeat each wave of Hive ships, but they were impossibly outnumbered.
The Ancient Council decided to submerge the city underwater to protect it from Wraith attacks and intrusions. The city was submerged and held in place by a series of clamps on the sea floor, while the city's impenetrable shield maintained the atmosphere and kept the Lantean ocean at bay. Towards the end of the war with the Wraith , the Ancient Janus rescued Dr.
Elizabeth Weir from a Puddle Jumper that had been shot down, a jumper that was also a time machine, designed and build by Janus himself. Radek Zelenka back in time while they had been forced to evacuate Atlantis, only hours after arriving. In that timeline, the city's power failed shortly after the Atlantis Expedition had arrived, the shield failed and nearly everyone perished when the ocean flooded the city.
Rodney McKay survived long enough to buy Weir, Sheppard and Zelenka time to escape but eventually died in the flood waters himself. The Time Jumper transported the trio back in time, but a Wraith attack shot the jumper down, killing Sheppard and Zelenka. Janus found Weir amid the wreckage and brought her back to Atlantis. During this time it was decided, by the Council, to abandon the city and return to Earth via the Stargate. Unknown to the council however, Dr.
Weir secretly stayed behind in stasis as part of a plan devised by Janus. She rotated the city's Zero Point Modules every 3. Janus also programmed a fail safe mechanism into the city so that if power reached a critical level, the clamps holding the city to the ocean floor would release, and Atlantis would rise to the surface once more.
Furthermore, the Stargate was programmed to accept incoming wormholes from only Earth so that the city, and Dr. Weir, would remain safe until its rediscovery by the Atlantis Expedition. When the Atlantis expedition arrived in July , they started to explore the city until Dr. Rodney McKay discovered that the city's Zero Point Modules were nearly depleted and that Atlantis' shield would fail, causing a massive flood.
After searching Athos for safe refuge due to the inevitable shield failure, the search team eventually brought the Athosians back after a Wraith culling occurred.
When the team and refugees returned, Janus's failsafe mechanism activated and Atlantis rose to the surface just as the shield finally ran out of power and failed. With Atlantis safe from the risk of flooding, the expedition continued to settle down and set up home for both themselves and the Athosian refugees. SGA : " Rising ". With the city's ZPMs all depleted shortly after their arrival, the expedition relied instead on their naquadah generators to power the city, these generators generating sufficient power to operate the Stargate and most of the city's default systems without having the power required to dial Earth or operate the city's defences.
The lack of defences meant that the expedition were forced to temporarily evacuate the city when it was faced with a massive storm that could have destroyed the entire city due to their inability to operate the city's shield. McKay was able to devise a solution that involved channeling the storm's lightning-strikes into the city's power grid by disabling the Grounding stations , at the cost of evacuating most of the city to another planet as the corridors would be electrified.
During this time, a Genii division led by Acastus Kolya tried to take control of Atlantis, but John Sheppard was able to defeat most of the Genii soldiers- including killing over fifty that were coming in as reinforcements by reactivating the Stargate shield- and then drive the rest away, allowing McKay to complete his plan. Having learned of the existence of Earth , the Wraith sent three Hive ships to attack Atlantis.
Aided by reinforcements from Earth- which included a Zero Point Module recently discovered in Egypt and the new ship the Daedalus - the Atlantis expedition was able to destroy the three ships, but the Wraith sent another twelve. Seeing no way of destroying them, the expedition used a cloak adapted from a Puddle Jumper , and timed a Nuclear warhead to make it appear that the city had been destroyed. The Wraith fell for the ruse, causing them to fall into civil war as the multiple wakened hives fought for resources.
The secret of Atlantis surviving is now a top priority for the expedition members, often claiming that the expedition reconnaissance teams were just the survivors of Atlantis rather than still operating from the city itself. Colonel Samantha Carter and Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell took Dr. Rodney McKay on a mission to connect a Stargate to the Supergate back in the Milky Way, preventing its further use by the Ori, simultaneously destroying a hive-ship and an Ori warship.
Meanwhile, Dr. Daniel Jackson and Vala Mal Doran accessed the Atlantis database in the hope of discovering the location of the Sangraal , a weapon against the Ori designed by Merlin. The ascended Lantean Morgan Le Fay , who masqueraded as the database's holographic interface, informed them where they could find the planets they heard of in Camelot that would lead them to the device, but she was stopped by the Others before she could reveal information about the device itself.
SG1 : " The Pegasus Project ". Later in the same year, after an experiment depleted the rest of the power in the city's only ZPM, living Lanteans were discovered in the void between Pegasus and the Milky Way , who subsequently reclaimed the city and forced the expedition out.
Colonel John Sheppard , Dr. Elizabeth Weir , Dr. Rodney McKay , Dr. Carson Beckett , Teyla Emmagan , and Ronon Dex launched a daring rescue mission, using the city's shield generators to emit a massive Anti-Replicator gun wave. The expedition was then able to reclaim Atlantis, keeping one of the Zero Point Modules installed by the Asurans and sending the other two back to Earth to help with the battle against the Ori.
In , after a massive pre-emptive strike on Asuras by Earth's new battlecruiser, the Apollo , the Asurans launched a retaliatory attack on Atlantis. They sent a satellite housing a Stargate to Lantea, and after dialing in from Asuras, directed a powerful energy beam at Atlantis. Unable to evacuate by Stargate , and unable to fully dissipate the beam after submerging the city, the expedition used the Stardrive to leave Lantea.
The recently discovered mobile drilling platform , located on the ocean floor gave Atlantis the power boost it needed to lift off, as the expedition only had one Zero Point Module instead of the 3 which the city was designed to use. Stargate Atlantis tells the story of a Stargate Command military crew led by Major John Sheppard Joe Flanigan , who has been charged with investigating the fictional planet of Lantea — the home of the mythical underwater city of Atlantis.
The team contends with a number of adventures as they explore this brave new world, as well as its dangers. Enemies both old and new threaten the lives of the Atlantis expedition at every turn, and new questions emerge regarding the mysterious race known as the Ancients. Viewers will see a number of familiar faces pop up over the course of the series. For fans of the cult sci-fi hit Firefly , Jewel Staite joins the cast as Dr. Jennifer Keller and becomes a season 5 regular.
