What were your favorite things about Stargate Atlantis?

It could be episodes, characters, moments, and etc.

Just to start if off one of my favorite things about Atlantis was the epic cliff-hangers like "The Storm", "The Seige", "First Strike", "The Return", "The Last Man", "Allies", "First Contact" and etc.

They seemed to really go all out for their finales, and mid-season finales. It just helped bring the show to the next level by having these epic cliffhanger type eps. It really kept you interested to what was going to happen next.

*please no negative posts here, only the good, the great, and the amazing*

Pre-wallpaper Teyla.

Brian will kill me for this one. The killing of Carson. It was done so well. Maybe not the cause but the aftermath and how it was represented

[Petra]

Carson Beckett - just a wonderful character
Teyla - in season 1, before she got wallpapered
Ford - especially in his 'enzym junkie' stage
Cadman
the Genii - they were interesting
Todd

Rising - the best series pilot in the franchise
The Shrine
most of season 1 & 2

No I agree, it was well done. It was very dramatic and the episode and aftermmath was done very well. If only they kept him dead, but I did love "The Kindred". The scene in Sunday on the pier was just done very well.

Listen, I would sacrifice a favorite character if it meant a result of good drama eps. Weir being another example. We got eps like "Lifeline", Adrift, This Mortal Coil, First Strike, and Gitm. Some very powerful eps, imo.
