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.

I know my stargate and i know that Atlantis is better! And it just gets even better if you watch them weekly like I do in the correct order. I can practically quote any episode! So trust me they both are beautiful but atlantis is an art. This DVD builds up the tension to a climax and then you must watch season 3!
All the episodes were geared towards getting the story to the finale so each has their own moment, though each has there weaknesses as well. The cliff hanger is gripping and I'm keen to see what will happen in Season 3.
Although with the episode 'Micheal' in mind, I can't help but think the Atlantis team brought a lot of this trouble on themselves.
