STARGATE - ATLANTIS SEASON 1(2004)
After SG-1's success, the producers figured what
the Hell, let's do another series! And here it
is!
I've not seen any of this as of this writing, so
I have no idea how good it is. Anyway, this stars,
well, no one I've ever heard of except Torri
Higginson(Tek movies and series!)! Also here, but
in later episodes, is Jason Mamoa(Auquman)!
So after 8 episodes, I have come to the conclusion
the reason this series rans for only 5 seasons probably
has to do with the lead actress, who is terrible in this
series!!
EPISODE 1: RISING PART 1 & 2(July 16, 2004):
This introduces us to the main characters of the
series: Dr. Weir, Major John Sheppard, Dr. McKay,
Telia Emmagam, Dr. Aiden Ford
Stories pretty obvious, the first episode and
the first time in Atlantis! Showing some pretty
decent characters, and some so not so much fun!!
All-in-all, not horrible, but if I hadn't just
watched all of Star Gate: SG1, I would never had
bought this series! No likeable characters, no
fun bantering(ala Jack O'Neill)! Too depressing!
Guest starring: RDA, Michael Shanks! B
EPISODE 2: HIDE AND SEEK(July 23, 2004):
A couple of boys play hide and seek and one of
them disappears!! B+
EPISODE 3: THRIRTY EIGHT MINUTES(July 30, 2004):
One of the ships gets caught while going through the
gate!! Oh, and one of the crew has a "thing" attached
to his neck! B
EPISODE 4: SUSPICION(Aug. 06, 2004):
Dr. Weir thinks there's a spy in Atlantis because of!
the Wraith attacks! Ford and Sheppard find land on
Atlantis' planet. B
EPISODE 5: CHINLDHOOD'S END(Aug. 13, 2004):
The team land on a planet where they meet up
with a group that believe it be better to commit
suicide rather than be taken by the Wraith! Therefore
no one over the age of 25 survive! B
EPISODE 6: POISONING THE WELL(Aug. 20, 2004):
An "away team"(what the Hell, why not) that goes
to a planet that is working on a cure against
the Wraith! A
EPISODE 7: UNDERGROUND(Aug. 27, 2004):
While doing some negotiating with a newly
found group, the group are trying to trade
some stuff for food! What they find out is
that the people they're dealing with are not
as backword as they thought!!!
Guest starring here is Colm Meaney(Star Trek: TNG
& DS9, Con Air, Under Siege) in his first of 3
episodes!!! B
EPISODE 8: HOME(Sept. 10, 2004):
The crew go "home"!!
Guest starring in this are Don S. Davis, Gary
Jones from SG1(in his first ot 12 episodes)!!! B
EPISODE 9: THE STORM(Sept. 17, 2004):
Guess what this is about!! Yup, a storm!!!
A fucking continued episode, which I truly
hate!!!!!
Colm Meaney returns! F
EPISODE 10: THE EYE(Jan. 21, 2005):
Continued from the previous episode! I may not
finish this series! F
EPISODE 11: THE DEFIANT ONE(Jan. 28, 2005):
This show is nothing more than a horror series!
I really don't like horror!! The crew go out to
investigate a Wraith signal from a nearby planet! D
EPISODE 12: HOT ZONE(Feb. 04, 2005):
The good: no Wraiths!! The bad, the stupid guy
is named Peterson!!! LOL!!!! Oh, and this is
also just antoher horror episode! D
EPISODE 13: SANCTUARY(Feb. 11, 2005):
The crew come upon an idylic world where they hope
to start saving the people of Atlantis! Only problem
is, the ruling people say no way Jose!! B
EPISODE 14: BEFORE I SLEEP(Feb. 18, 2005):
This is a flashback episode, one usually done somewhere
in the middle of a season to save money! It's all about
Weir and, well, Weir!! B
EPISODE 15: THE BROTHERHOOD(Feb. 25, 2005):
The hunt for the ZPMs is on!! B
EPISODE 16: LETTERS FROM PEGASUS(Mar. 04, 2005):
McKay comes up with a way to to send messages
back to SGC! also, there's a armada of Wraith
ships headed to Atlantas!
Guest starring: Amanda Tapping! Gary Jones returns! B
EPISODE 17: THE GIFT(Mar. 11, 2005):
A very heavy Teyla episode! She's having nightmares! C
EPISODE 18: THE SEIGE PART 1(Mar. 18, 2005):
Take the fucking Wraith out of this, and this
would be a good episode!! D
EPISODE 19: THE SEIGE PART 2(Mar. 25, 2005):
More horror shit!!
And even though it seems nearly impossible, they
managed to find even more unlikable people!!
Last episode of the season!
AAAAANNNDDDDDD we have ANOTHER "cliffhanger" ending!
I FUCKING HATE THESE!!!!
This episode is dedicated to Scerribelli(Visiual
Effects Supervisor)! FFF

From an IMDb.com customer:
Stargate Command has sent a team to investigate the
Ancients' city of Atlantis in the Pegasus Galaxy. The
team is led by Dr. Elizabeth Weir (Torri Higginson)
and Major John Sheppard (Joe Flanigan). While they
are exploring the Pegasus Galaxy, they accidentally
awakens the deadly Wraiths, a race of creatures that
survive by sucking the life out of human beings.
It's the second TV show of the franchise. It takes
the same concept, put new people in a team, and take
them to different worlds. At the start of season 4,
they decided to blow up the team by replacing Dr Weir
to energize the show. What it did instead was crumple
up any chemistry this show had. The producers probably
had good reasons to try but it sped up the show's demise
after 5 seasons. - SnoopyStyle
