A team of scientists and military personnel is dispatched to a far-off 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 civilization as well as with the evil Wraith species. This season features the arrival of THE X-FILES veteran Mitch Pileggi in the recurring role of Colonel Steven Caldwell. [More]

Reviews for Stargate: Atlantis - Season 2
Sometimes you wish the series would take a cue from "Firefly" and lighten up, but then the action, amplified beyond reason, generates a groundswell of excitement, as well as admiration.
[H]eavy on action, short on thoughtfulness, it touches on wit, smarts, and true science fiction speculation only momentarily, and sometimes even seemingly accidentally.
ATLANTIS has a number of good qualities to it that the original series does not. First, hot chicks. Torri Higginson, who plays Elizabeth Weir, is an über-babe and Rachel Luttrell, who plays the alien Teyla Emmagan, is no slouch either.
