Season 2 of Atlantis really did move the show into great sci-fi. The addition of Ronan to the cast was a much needed move. Ford in the first season was an ok character but I never really felt that he was interesting enough to be more than a recurring guest star.
I think the writing on the show got better over the second season with some great episodes and drama/comedy. The acting is brilliant, with all the characters managing to become deeper along with us finding out about Ronan for the first time.
Atlantis got its own in-house special effects for season 2 and you can really notice the difference. They really take the CGI up a notch in season 2 with some amazing space battles. The introduction of the Earth ship Daedalus really gives them a chance to show more aswell instead of last seasons puddle jumper shots.
On the dvd there are some nice special features including featurettes about the show and my favourites, the commentaries which are both very funny and informative.
Personally I was apprehensive of Atlantis after being a massive fan of SG1 for so many years but the second season really sold it to me so I definately recommend picking up a copy.
