As seen by the numerous debates we've all had, I think we can all agree that some things about Stargate Atlantis just don't add up. Ever since SG-1, and a few key moments in "Rising," we've been led to believe several things...
1) The Ancients left Earth several million years ago.
2) They "seeded" humans all over the Pegasus galaxy.
3) They fled back to Earth roughly 10,000 years ago.
4) They encountered an enemy of nigh-equal technology who outnumbered them in Pegasus.
5) At some point, they contracted a disease.
6) The Wraith currently inhabit the Pegasus galaxy.
While these are true, we're never actually told what order they happened in, and the Ancient hologram in "Rising" was very vague. If you look around this forum, there are practically a million different interpretations on who exactly the Wraith are, how the humans were "seeded," and why the Ancients left Earth in the first place.
It seems like the obvious answer the show provides is "The Ancients came to Pegasus millions of years ago, somehow put humans on the planets, and got chased away by the Wraith 10,000 years ago." I don't know about the rest of you, but this just doesn't add up with me.
I think we (the viewers) are being fed a bunch of incomplete stories, and being tricked into seeing a backstory that doesn't make much sense. I think we're going to see a big shift in the story sometime in the future. Afterall, we used to think the Goa'uld built the stargates.
Anybody else expecting a plot twist? Any theories?
