20-episode box set from the second season
(2005-06) offers ample evidence that it's right up
there. The writing is good; the stories are
intriguing, and the science part of the equation
is credible enough to justify our suspension of
disbelief. The characters are for the most part
well-defined, and the acting, while perhaps not
Emmy-calibre, is just fine. The action is
exciting, the effects work impressive, the
costumes and sets first-rate. But what Atlantis
really has going for it is the presence of some of
the baddest bad guys in the cosmos: the
Wraith.With their flowing white locks, cat-like
eyes, pale, almost translucent skin, and
shockingly bad teeth, the Wraith rock. They also
have a constant need to feed--on humans, of
course--and are a serious threat not only to
Atlantis but to the entire known universe,
including good ol' Earth. And although there are
occasional diversions, the producers and writers
have wisely kept the focus on these implacable
antagonists; in fact, the newest member of the
team, one Ronon Dex (played by the dreadlocked and
hunky Jason Momoa), is a "runner" who escaped the
Wraith's clutches, was a fugitive for years before
being found by our heroes, and specialises in
dispatching the villains with cold precision. In
the course of the season, via single episodes and
several multi-parters, the Stargate team,
commanded by Dr. Elizabeth Weir (Torri Higginson
in the show's least interesting role) and led by
insouciant Major John Sheppard (Joe Flanigan),
with genius-neurotic Dr. Rodney McKay (David
Hewlett) handling the scientific intricacies and
yet another doc, Carson Beckett (Paul McGillion,
affecting a Scottish brogue), overseeing medical
matters, deals with the enemy on many fronts. Lt.
Ford (Rainbow Sun Francks) defects after assuming
Wraith-like characteristics. The team experiments
with a "retrovirus" designed to turn Wraiths into
humans (the results are decidedly mixed). They
encounter a human who raised a Wraith female from
childhood and insists she's just like us (she's
not). They're captured and imprisoned on a Wraith
"hive" ship. And in the final episode, the humans
and the Wraiths even form an alliance of
supposedly mutual convenience (the episode is a
cliffhanger that awaits resolution until Season
Three, but anyone who thought this "partnership"
was a good idea for our side clearly hasn't been
paying attention).--Sam Graham

Atlantis shaped goodness
Review of Stargate Atlantis - Series 2 Vol.2 DVD by ryanando

Advantages: Some good stories, continuing a great series
Disadvantages: special effects went downhill a little

...SOMEWHERE) For all those Stargate SG1 fans (and I know you are out there) this season starts linking into whats happening in SG1. I quite enjoyed this, but then I've seen all the Stargate SG1 episodes so I knew what they were all talking about. For anyone who hasn't seen SG1 (or at least the season its linked into) there are times where it might not make as much sense as it should. Its ok though, you'd get by fine with just a small sense of confusion ...
...bit more observant when it came to the similarities between SG1 and Atlantis, infact at times they pretty much refer to the "missions" SG1 went on that were simmilar to the situation they were in. A little bit of sneaky story recycling at times. The end of the season Finale (as great as it is) is a well used favourite. The bad guys come to earth. Oh crap. Thankfully Atlantis somehow manages to make it fresh and new (possibly because its a new bad ... Read review

DVD Description

A team of scientists and military personnel is dispatched to the distant Pegasus galaxy to explore the remnants of the Lost City of the Ancients, also known as Atlantis in this STARGATE SG-1 spin-off series. The Ancients were an advanced human race that initially created the Stargate network, and diplomat Dr. Elizabeth Weir (Torri Higginson) and pilot Major John Sheppherd (Joe Flanigan) head the international squad that is sent to investigate. The team arrives at Atlantis to find the city abandoned and their ship permanently stranded, unless they can find a power source to get themselves home to earth. They make contact with a brave but primitive native civilisation as well as with the evil Wraith, a species that feeds on fear and, it quickly becomes clear, poses a threat to human life everywhere. Sheppard's brash, instinctive nature contrasts with the calm thoughtfulness of Dr. Weir, and their team is rounded out by Sheppard's second-in-command Lt. Aidan Ford, witty Scottish doctor Carson Beckett, Pegasus native leader Teyla Emmagen, and inimitable scientist Rodney McKay. Episodes include: 'Condemned', 'Trinity', 'Instinct' and 'Conversion'.
