5.0 out of 5 stars Passing of the torch..., June 1, 2011
This review is from: Stargate Atlantis Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
***SPOILERS AHEAD***

General Synopsis:
While examining incredible technology left behind by an ancient human civilization, a team of Stargate personal, aided by Dr. Jackson of SG-1, discover that the lost city of Atlantis is not on Earth but outside of our own Galaxy. Meanwhile, on approach to the ancient outpost General Jack O'Neill's helicopter comes under attack by a rogue drone and must take evasive action to narrowly avoid their destruction.

After safely making it to the outpost, General O'Neill and Major Sheppard are briefed by the Stargate scientists as to their discovery's. During their briefing, Major Sheppard discovers he has a rare gene that gives him the ability to control Ancient technology. Needing personal that has this ability, Dr. Elizabeth Weir requests that Major Sheppard be assigned to her expedition.

After safely connecting to the Atlantis gate the team consisting of scientists and military personal makes way for the lost city. Soon after setting up within their new home it is discovered that the city is under several hundred feet of sea water that is being held back by a force field that is quickly failing. Needing to either find a new power source that can be used to bolster the shield or to find a safe and welcoming evacuation point, Dr. Weir orders a team to set out to other worlds in search of either.

While on another planet Major Sheppard, Colonel Sumner, Lt. Gates and Ford are introduced to the local people who may or may not be able to help them. While becoming familiar with the locals the Atlantis team learn of a vicious enemy known as the Wraith. In an attempt to locate a power source for the city, Major Sheppard and a local named Teyla Emmagan set out to explore a city that has been empty for decades. During their search enemy crafts known as darts come through the stargate and attack both the locals and the Atlantis team, taking several members of both people in the attack.

During the attack the Atlantis team order the evacuation of both people back to Atlantis. The city itself is in extreme danger as the sheild holding back the ocean is about to fail. As panic spreads, Dr. Weir orders all personal to leave the city behind. Just as the teams prepare to leave the city's automatic safeguards kick-in and allow the city to surface from the ocean floor and safely rise to the ocean surface.

***Spoilers End***

My Thoughts:
I have been a huge fan of the Stargate franchise since the first movie and the following series as it appeared on SHOWTIME. As the SG-1 series progressed certain story arcs began to appear explaining ancient beings that seeded civilization within our galaxy. This storyline really peeked my interest and I looked forward with eager anticipation to new episodes that expanded on the storyline. When Stargate Atlantis was announced and information leaked that the new series was going to be built around the Ancient story arc I was excited to say the least.

Atlantis had gone on to entertain me for four more years until its cancellation. With promises of Atlantis movies that never became reality and the announced series that was to further explain how the Ancients spread throughout the galaxy that turned out to be a horrible soup opera rip-off of Batlle Star: Galactica, I became very disappointed on where the franchise was headed. But given the Atlantis series lasted Five seasons and SG-1 lasted ten seasons I guess I can hold out by watching old episodes until MGM gets the franchise back on track.

All Feedback Is Appreciated. Thanks.
