Stargate Atlantis (Season 5 Premieres July 11, 2008 @ 10 PM) - As Stargate Atlantis moves into its fifth action-packed season, the team of intrepid explorers continue to face peril and uncertainty from within the vast reaches of the Pegasus Galaxy.

Robert Picardo, known to fans as the International Oversight Committee rep Richard Woolsey, joins the Atlantis cast and assumes command of the Atlantis expedition. Reluctant to step into Colonel Samantha Carter's shoes, Woolsey must deal with new responsibilities and find his way among the crew. The team, led by Lt. Colonel Sheppard (Joe Flanigan), Dr. Rodney McKay (David Hewlett), Teyla (Rachel Luttrell), Ronon (Jason Momoa) and Dr. Jennifer Keller (Jewel Staite), must adjust to his unique leadership style.

Fan favorite Paul McGillion, returns for five episodes to reprise his role as the beloved "Dr. Carson Beckett." Amanda Tapping ("Colonel Samantha Carter"), and Stargate SG-1 star Michael Shanks ("Dr. Daniel Jackson") will also appear as special guest stars this season.

'Stargate Atlantis' Gets Two 'A's for Season Five

Amelia and Alonso; plus Malozzi and Staite discuss things to come

By Michael Simpson | Friday, May 30, 2008

Two more names have been added to Stargate Atlantis lore this week, according to writer and producer Joseph Mallozzi. One is actress Daniella Alonso. She has been cast in the role of Katana, a character who belongs to a group of people called Travelers. In a post on his blog, Mallozzi revealed that she will be making her first appearance in the two-part mid-season story.

"Those of you not familiar with Daniella’s work may want to check out her 11-episode arc in season two of Friday Night Lights," said Mallozzi. "She was excellent in FNL and is doing a wonderful job for us on 'The Lost Tribe.'"

The other name Mallozzi gave is that of the character Amelia Banks. Banks has already been in several episodes of Stargate Atlantis as an unnamed gate technician. She is played by Sharon Taylor. Her character has now been named because she is getting more screen time, Mallozzi explained.
