As the curtain is drawn on the first of the 20 episodes that comprise this fifth (and apparently last) season of Stargate Atlantis, we’re assured that “the threat level is down” across the universe. The “sentient machines” known as the Replicators have been defeated; The Wraith, the white-haired, translucent-skinned, cat-eyed vampire dudes who have been our heroes’ principal nemeses all along, are in disarray; And while the character known as Michael, who was the subject of the team's ongoing ""retro-virus"" experiment (designed to make Wraiths human) in Season Two and played a significant recurring role in Season Three, is still around, he too no longer inspires much dread. So, “the threat level is down,” right? Yeah, right. You don’t need to be an astrophysicist to know that rosy analysis is mere wishful thinking. Indeed, Michael’s human-Wraith “hybrids” are a serious menace almost immediately; and by the end of the season, not only have the Wraith pulled themselves together, they have constructed the mother of all “hive ships,” located Planet Earth, and begun attacking it. In between, regular Atlantis fans will witness a few significant developments: among other things, Samantha Carter (Stargate SG-1 veteran Amanda Tapping), who took over command of Atlantis in Season Four, is soon replaced by the by-the-book civilian Richard Woolsey (Robert Picardo); team member Teyla (Rachel Luttrell) has a baby; and Rodney McKay (David Hewlett), the kvetching genius scientist, and medical doc Jennifer Keller (Jewel Staite) kindle a romantic relationship. Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks), another SG-1 veteran, appears in two mid-season episodes.
Story-wise, Season Five offers considerable variety; “The Daedalus Variations” is heady sci-fi filled with technical mumbo-jumbo about parallel universes, while “Whispers” is a zombie jamboree straight out of Night of the Living Dead, and Vegas, an “alternate reality episode” in which Lt. Col. John Sheppard (Joe Flanigan, in what is still the show’s most appealing role) plays a beleaguered homicide detective, takes place almost entirely in that city. As usual, the best stories are the ones involving the Wraith, including “The Queen,” in which Teyla temporarily transforms into one of those villainous creatures. Also as usual, the visual effects are first-rate, and the bonus material is copious (including commentaries for every episode and all manner of featurettes) and impressive. If this is indeed the end of Stargate Atlantis as a series (a feature-length movie is already in production), it will certainly be missed--but at least they’re quitting while they’re ahead. --Sam Graham

A fond farewell to one of the best ever spin off series.Like the original Stargate,Atlantis was blessed with a great cast although it is a shame that it went through three Commanders in it five seasen run.I hope that we have not seen the last of the Atlantis crew and that some TV Movies will be made too.

Outstanding Series. I'm a Stargate addict. I now own all 10 seasons of SG-1 and all 5 seasons of Atlantis.

Stargate Atlantis was the best, I love to watch the actors and the story lines are always great. Too bad this was the last season because the new Stargate Universe just does not cut it. The actors in Atlantis are much better and the colorful Atlantis and the other scenes were great to watch. The new Universe is dull looking and boring.
Hope that anyone that watches any of the stargate Atlantis Seasons loves them as much as I do.

Imaginative plots, cracking special effects that just get better, top notch scrapes and perils.
Season highlights for me included:
1. Some more of Carson Beckett.
2. `The Daedalus Variations' - plenty of action and lots of tension.
3. `Ghost in the Machine' - great twists.
4. `The Shrine' - you know what's going to happen after the first five minutes but you still revel in the snappy interaction between the characters. David Hewlett really shows a different ... Read More

I guess there are just som many plots that you can come up with in a galaxy far far away, but still I liked it. Knowing that it was the last season kept me waiting to see how it would end. Right up until the end it just carried on like it was goin to go on for years. Then the last episode "BOOM" all of it in all at once. I hope there is a movie coming out now to tie it together. Isn't that what is supposed to happen?
