Stargate Atlantis started as a spin-off of Stargate SG-1. Stargate SG-1 ran for 10 seasons making it the longest running sci-fi show ever. Unfortunately they came to an end. However this review is about Atlantis, so you probably want to know about Atlantis right? A few characters have moved over to Atlantis from SG-1. Not necessarily a bad thing. The transition seems to have went fairly smooth. Based in the Pegasus galaxy, a team of explorers run their operations out of the "City of the Ancients", otherwise known as Atlantis. Being in a different galaxy, the enemies they encounter would presumably be a lot more "alien-like". The great thing about this show is in the beginning, you meet most of the main characters. Most come from varied backgrounds so they aren't all similar in nature. They travel in teams so they build the base of the story. Throughout the series, they delve into each character a little deeper. You get to find out the background of the character, why they are they way they are. What happened to them in the past that brought them to the present. Normally I would find this somewhat boring, but they do it in such a way, that they make it interesting. Visual effects are spectacular in the fight scenes. Another great thing about Atlantis, even though its Science Fiction, they have quite a bit of humor in it. It's not really "dumb" humor, but rather humorous encounters between the characters. Currently Atlantis is on 9p.m. CST Friday nights. Although they are currently on a "break" for the holidays. I believe the second half of the season starts back up in January. Check it out. If you're a Sci-Fi fan, you will not be disappointed!
