A team of scientists and military personnel is dispatched to the distant Pegasus galaxy to explore the remnants of the Lost City of the Ancients, also known as Atlantis in this STARGATE SG-1 spin-off series. The Ancients were an advanced human race that initially created the Stargate network, and diplomat Dr. Elizabeth Weir (Torri Higginson) and pilot Major John Sheppherd (Joe Flanigan) head the international squad that is sent to investigate. The team arrives at Atlantis to find the city abandoned and their ship permanently stranded, unless they can find a power source to get themselves home to earth. They make contact with a brave but primitive native civilisation as well as with the evil Wraith, a species that feeds on fear and, it quickly becomes clear, poses a threat to human life everywhere. Sheppard's brash, instinctive nature contrasts with the calm thoughtfulness of Dr. Weir, and their team is rounded out by Sheppard's second-in-command Lt. Aidan Ford, witty Scottish doctor Carson Beckett, Pegasus native leader Teyla Emmagen, and inimitable scientist Rodney McKay.

Pity.They are running out of ideas now in what has been a great series.
Still streetwise though-if you are ever in Scotland keep out of the way of Wraith Rovers.
But on the other hand I have had to wait a while for most of my first choices recently.
I have watched all of this Stargate Atalantis stuff. The first series was a cut above your average conveyor belt sci-fi drama and in places really good but this second series has lost its way a little.
Main problem I think is routine story telling and that seems to have affected everything else including the direction, scripts, characterisation and some of the acting.
Needs new writers.
