10 Years of Stargate Atlantis!

[Colonel Rebel]

It was ten years ago today, on July 16, 2004, that the Atlantis expedition launched. Anyone remember the thrill of watching it for the first time?

When all was still wel with the world, and Atlantis was cut off from Earth.

Still my favorite show of all time. I miss them.

What she said... so definitely pondering the could-have-beens.

10 years already? Man has the time flown since it went off the air.

I didn't watch when they first aired on TV. The upside to that is I got to watch them all without waiting between seasons!

I remember it well. To be honest I was sort of apprehensive, because other shows about the lost city of Atlantis weren't that good. And you know how spin-offs often fall short. Following SG-1 would be a hard thing but I wanted to give the show a chance.
And once I learned that Joe Flanigan was in it...ah...I knew him from some other shows.
Watching that first episode I fell in love with it. With Atlantis and the wonderful cast of characters brought to life by the very talented actors.
It was a fun and entertaining five years...and damn it there should have been more!

I first watched Atlantis the year one of my relatives died. I watched all 5 seasons in 2009 before continuing with SGU. I've also seen some of SG-1 on TV prior to that.

I'm currently re-watching SGU S02, but am going to have another SGA re-watch after.

I also think a rewatch is in order!

[ladyofshalott]

I just finished a re-watch...but I think another one may be in order.

I remember watching the premiere and being amazed at the cool new Atlantis set. Loved that McKay was there, and that there were cameos by Daniel & O'Neill. I agree that it was best when it was cut off from Earth, although I did enjoy Caldwell & Hermiod. Sad to think it's been off the air for five years. Good thing the fanfic lives on!

Still my favorite show of all time. I miss them.

Yes, I do. It's sits there with watching SG-1 for the first time. SG-1 got more outright "wonder" than SGA, but it also got more of a "full circle" kind of feeling. Stargate was back to being "new" again, albeit with a few years advancement. Seeing "Rising 1&2" made me think "what if it was YOU "out there", and who would you want with you"

I need to get the DVDS for this.
