Best Episode (Atlantis Season One)

• Thirty Eight Minutes
• Poisoning the Well

Best Sheppard Moment

• Sheppard plays a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with Commander Kolya and his Genii strike force, picking off enemy invaders and giving the others a chance to retake Atlantis. ("The Storm")
• Sheppard must fight a nearly unstoppable, 10,000 year-old-Wraith in order to protect his people and escape a desolate moon. ("The Defiant One")

Best McKay Moment

• With a hostile alien entity threatening the city and his friends, McKay risks his life by using a personal shield to step into the cloud and send it through the Stargate. ("Hide and Seek")
• McKay stands up to Kolya, stepping in front of the gun he has pointed at Dr. Weir and insisting that Kolya needs the both of them in order to survive. ("The Storm")
• Knowing he may not survive the impending siege, Rodney records a thoughtful goodbye to his sister Jeannie, regretful that they had not been closer. ("Letters From Pegasus")

Best Teyla Moment

• Plagued by terrifying nightmares, Teyla recalls a time when she and her father were captured by the Wraith and subjected to disturbing experiments -- learning that she has some Wraith DNA herself. ("The Gift")
• Teyla tries to tap in to the Wraith psychic network but fails to maintain control, enabling a Wraith to take possession of her instead and attack her friends. ("The Gift")
• After Sergeant Bates accuses her of being a spy under Wraith control, Teyla gives him a much needed punch in the face. ("The Siege, Part 1")

Best Weir Moment

• With her people trapped in a life-and-death dilemma, Weir stands up to the defeatist attitude of the Athosians and Kavanaugh, who are convinced that Sheppard's team will not survive. ("Thirty Eight Minutes")
• After she is found in stasis in the city, a severely aged Weir tells her tale of going back in time, meeting Atlantis's original inhabitants, and deciding to stay behind and give her life to save her future team. ("Before I Sleep")
• Knowing she might not make it back alive, Elizabeth risks her life to make a deal with the Genii for their nuclear devices in order to help save Atlantis from the Wraith siege. ("The Siege, Part 2")

Best Ford Moment

• With their Puddle Jumper lodged in an open Stargate, Ford opens the rear hatch and exposes himself to the vacuum of space in order to save Sheppard from the iratus bug and get them home to Atlantis. ("Thirty Eight Minutes")
• Ford takes charge as temporary leader of the group when he, along with Teyla and Dr. Beckett, sneak into Atlantis to retake the city from the Genii. ("The Eye")
• With the Wraith on their way Ford takes charge of the expedition's morale situation, filming everyone's messages for their families -- and his own video for his grandparents. ("Letters From Pegasus")

Best Team Moment

• Having found the lost city of the Ancients and saved the Athosians from the Wraith, the team gathers together for the first time in the moonlit city to celebrate. ("Rising, Part 2")
