Wow, pretty intense season opener, the poop has hit the fan and the team never get's a coffee break between all the stressful happenings of an average day in Atlantis! And in the grand tradition of Stargate SG-1, as well as Stargate Atlantis, even the season opener is a cliffhanger! Yikes! This show is so much fun! Of course, simply because it's TV I couldn't quite give it 5 stars,but 4.5 would do. It's good to see that Elizabeth isn't dead yet.....

The first season was very good, but when Ronon came on board in season two, it sealed the deal. This team is unique in the SciFi world, and except for the absence of the best doctor character since McCoy, this fourth season may be the best yet. Rodney often aggravates me to death, but he does keep things on an almost endearingly human level....after all if every one of the characters is noble and selfless and the best ever at their job, there's not a lot to identify with for most of us, is there? I especially like having Samantha Carter as the leader of the Atlantis expedition. Who has more chops for the position? After 10 years of saving the Milky Way galaxy time after time on Stargate SG-1, it's only appropriate that she move on and begin doing the same for the Pegasus galaxy on Stargate Atlantis. Also, unlike another brilliant scientist I could name, she actually has charm, a steel magnolia toughness, and marvelous people skills. The stories and arcs that comprise this fourth season are clever, intriguing, and well put together. I really miss this show and wish they had maintained the level of quality they achieved in seasons two, three and four, as well as a stable cast. If they had, they might still be on the air.
