Advantages: Good cast, great stories, Dvd extras to make you laugh Disadvantages: the box covers a bit of a pain.
I'm a huge Stargate fan. So much so that I refused to defile my love of the gate by buying into spin offs (even if technically sg1 is a spin off, hush!) Now that Stargate sg1 is finished I found my self at a loss as to where to get my next Stargate fix before the new movies come out. I decided to give in and bought Stargate Atlantis Season One.
I went into this as a total skeptic. I'm terrible for trying to pick things apart. So in went the first ... ...those new to the whole Stargate thing (possibly people from a different planet?) could follow it, it got good!
After one episode I was hooked and kicking myself for not having watched it sooner. After a day or two of constant watching (I was addicted) I had finished the box set. Not only were the episodes all up to SG1 standard, they introduced some great new characters and ideas. It left me hanging on the edge of my seat desperate to buy the next ...

Advantages: More family friendly than SG1 Disadvantages: Loses some intensity
...idea, spin off series from Stargate SG1. A highly successful series with a cult following.
Set in a new galaxy, led by a civilian, with a young cast. This gives it more of the family element, but risks losing some of the cult following.
The new galaxy element gives it, essentially, the same premise as SG1 - use the Stargates to explore, and battle with a sinister enemy.
Introducing the Wraith - the species that forced the Ancients to leave this ... ...good idea?)
Thankfully for the fans, the main elememts of the show stay true to the original - meeting new races with their own experiences of the Wraith, forming alliances, making enemies (since awakening the Wraith, the teams are often the bringers of bad news for worlds unprepared for an attack so soon.), and fighting the universal enemy; all while trying to find power modules to keep Atlantis safe and protect the only gate to Earth.
They have ...

Advantages: Strong, young cast, excellent offshoot from SG-1 Disadvantages: a little less serious than SG-1
I have watched Stargate since the first Movie, and then religiously throughout the SG-1 Series'. After Falling in love with such characters as Gen. Jack O'Neil, and Samantha Carter, as well as the lovable Daniel Jackson, and Teal'c, I wondered whether I might be able to watch a spin off of such a complex and engrossing show.
The first thing of note about Stargate Atlantis is it's young cast, our main character and military leader of the expedition ... ...under the Auspices of Team Stargate Atlantis, a project run by a civilian, Dr Weir. This non-military (or at least shared control) concept really gives a family feel to the project, and the dynamic is different to that of SG-1, hopefully broadening it's potential audience.
The storyline is based on research from the original series leading to the finding of the ancient homeworld of the Lantians, Atlantis. The explorers take a journey to the Pegasus ...

Advantages: Amazing storys Disadvantages: Have to watch sg1 to understand it better
Stargate Atlantis Is the new show by MGM and has been an amazing hit with fans from SG1 which has now finished but Stargate Atlantis can carry on the legacy as it has an amazing story line and new and interesting plots and surprises.
The cast consists of:
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard
Dr. Rodney McKay
Teyla Emmagan
Dr. Elizabeth Weir
Dr. Carson Beckett Ronon Dex
These characters are younger than the cast in Stargate sg1 and is more for the younger ... ...more cooler look than the Gauld who have been getting a bit repeative in the show.
Overall this show is a big success and will last as long as Stargate sg1 did :)
This is a great show for all ages and you should take a look. ...
