    Just as the long-running science fiction hit Stargate:SG-1 entered its eighth season in 2004, creators Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper entered the spin-off zone with Stargate: Atlantis. While SG-1's stars, Richard Dean Anderson (O'Neill) and Michael Shanks (Jackson), provide a link to the new series in the premiere, "Rising," Atlantis is set in an entirely different galaxy; thus, the two shows could coexist without worrying about continuity. In Atlantis, an expedition sets out to investigate the fabled lost city -- which is actually the home to a mystical alien race, the Ancients. Once a part of Earth, Atlantis is now located in the far-off Pegasus galaxy, and an all-volunteer force launches through the Stargate, knowing they can never return. American Dr. Elizabeth Weir (Torri Higginson) heads up an international team of that includes Canadian astrophysicist Rodney McKay (David Hewlett), Scottish physician Carson Beckett (Paul McGillion), and two U.S. military officers -- Major John Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) and Lt. Aiden Ford (Rainbow Sun Francks). When they make it to Atlantis, they are introduced to Teyla Emmagan (Rachel Luttrell), an Athosian alien who warns the team of a new threat: the Wraith. Unlike the Goa'uld which seek to enslave humans in the SG-1 universe, the Wraith simply suck the life from humans on Atlantis. The team is on constant alert because of this new foe, and most of the season is spent battling the evil creatures. The Wraith also play a large part in the season finale, "The Siege," in which the Atlantis station comes under attack by their superior weapons. Slightly darker than its predecessor, Stargate: Atlantis is nevertheless an exciting sci-fi ride. Christina Urban, Barnes & Noble

    July 07, 2009: I thoroughly enjoyed watching this DVD series and have started Season 2. It does leave you hanging on the last episode so you will definitely want the Second Season.

    June 29, 2009: Beautiffly done with ease of use. Watching Season One again has cleared up some questions in Season Two. If your trying to get "into" Science Fiction this would be a great choice for adults and older teens. Younger teens and children might find the Wraithe scenes too vivid. Hope you enjoy your purchase or gift.
