Atlantis Ends After Five Seasons
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
As Stargate Atlantis ends, it's easy to understand why they chose to end it when they did. A great show, but it appears they ran out of ideas. The fifth season should have ended with a 2-5 part finale encompassing several weeks but instead they did "Vegas" just prior to the series finale and I was dumbstruck. Why did they do this? Perhaps the movie that has been noted on Wikipedia is why. Supposedly, an Atlantis movie is going directly to dvd. But no word yet on when.
To me, as an impartial viewer who only started watching Atlantis after it had ended, I was po'd that the character Weir was killed off the way she was. Oh sure, she comes back (in a different body) in season five but the way she left at the end of season three was absurd. But then I'm the silent majority who doesn't get a a say in anything. Still, overall I highly recommend Atlantis as a series with the first three seasons being the best (to me). Next for me comes SG1. I have yet to buy and watch all the dvd's but I will get there. After that comes Farscape. No, being single is not great, but I figure you might as well take advantage of all the free time and catch up on your sci-fi viewing which we know, few women truly appreciate (marathon viewing). Whether it from the Stargate Universe or be it from Highlander, Buffy, Babylon 5, Hercules, Xena or Star Trek, all have a certain appeal that touch us in very different ways. Oh, and after Farscape comes Battlestar Galactica, eh eh.
I give season five of Atlantis 4 stars out of 5 with the series overall being 4.25 stars. I mean, you've got to admit, Rodney McCay was annoying.....on occasion.
