Reviewed by Kenneth Brown, July 2. I doubt anyone who sat down and soaked in Roland Emmerich's Stargate in 1. Stargate SG- 1, and two spin- off series, Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe.

Yet here we are. More gates have been dialed, more planets have been explored, more intergalactic crises have been averted than Emmerich or the most deeply devoted '9. Kurt Russell and James Spader stepped through that first shimmering portal. And I suspect, even with the recent cancellation of SGU after two failed seasons, even with producer Brad Wright's declaration that no more gates would be opened, that 2.

Stargate. In the meantime, though, while television awaits its next Stargate spin- off, might I humbly suggest diving headlong into the world - - or worlds, rather - - of Stargate Atlantis, an exceptionally entertaining, wonderfully written, smartly cast five- season series that was unceremoniously shot down in its prime. There's no need to be familiar with SG- 1 to enjoy Stargate Atlantis. It's as accessible as a spin- off comes, and soars in its own right. But that's a debate for another day.) After a shaky, strangely truncated introduction to the series' setup, creators Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper strand an international team of, you guessed it, scientists and soldiers on the other side of the known universe, in the ancient, technologically advanced city of Atlantis. Without a fully powered Zero Point Module (ZPM) available to make the return trip to Earth, the series' homesick heroes - - expedition leader Dr.

Elizabeth Weir (Torri Higginson), wise- cracking military man Major John Sheppard (Joe Flanigan), self- proclaimed genius Dr. Rodney Mc. Kay (David Hewlett), helpful native Athosian warrior Teyla Emmagan (Rachel Luttrell), medical doctor Carson Beckett (Paul Mc. Gillion), First Lieutenant Aiden Ford (Rainbow Sun Francks), scientist Dr. Radek Zelenka (David Nykl) and others, red shirts and recurring supporting characters alike - - scramble to survive in the face of a new threat: the Wraith, a vicious alien race that . Being stranded is an oh- so- convenient way to establish SG- 1 and SGA as separate entities, but it works well, giving Atlantis plenty of room to stretch its legs, develop its own swagger and forge its own path. SGA takes as many of its cues from Star Trek: The Next Generation as it does from SG- 1. From the very beginning, interpersonal conflicts and dynamics are prioritized over story particulars and sweeping Stargate mythology, and character arcs are, again and again, declared king of the SGA castle.

Though largely formulaic, the stories serve the characters, not vice versa. Random problems arise, often in the form of a bizarre device, ruthless alien menace or cultural clash, but it's the manner in which Sheppard and his team handle the conflicts and crises that define the series. And the series is no stranger to death or, at least, in shaking things up. Central heroes are stripped from the SGA ranks, almost once per season, and it quickly becomes clear that no one is safe from the ax. Francks loses his series regular status after Season One - - no complaints here; Lieutenant Ford wasn't very interesting and added little to the mix - - and becomes a recurring villain of sorts, but other surprise exits, evolutions and transformations (which I wouldn't dare spoil) take out other crucial characters. Replacements are never far behind, though, and, more often than not, make excellent additions to the cast. Game of Thrones' barbarian Jason Momoa replaces Franks in Season Two, filling a much- needed role on the team and stirring things up with gruff, rebel- without- a- cause fury; Mitch Pileggi and Kavan Smith come on board on Season Two; Firefly's Jewel Staite arrives in Season Four, bringing yet another element to the table (one that cozies up to Hewlett's arc nicely); and SG- 1 castaways Amanda Tapping and Robert Picardo sign up for SGA's later seasons as well.

The magic of Atlantis lies in its relationships. No one ever quite sees eye to eye, but there isn't a sense that betrayal lurks around every corner. Stargate Universe was an ugly, at- times maddening chess game populated with too many self- interested pawns trying to work their way up the board. Not so in SGA. Civilians and military personnel butt heads, sure, but rarely at the expense of mutual respect.

Atlantis, like SG- 1 before it, finds its spark in its ensemble's chemistry. Sheppard, sarcastic as he is, has a healthy streak of selflessness coursing through his veins and Flanigan strikes a deceptively spontaneous balance between chummy wit, quick- thinking and battlefield prowess.

Weir is a bit one- note, ever reduced to slapping a stamp of approval on the best idea presented in the Atlantis war room, but Higginson makes the most of a thankless role and, by the middle of Season Two, makes something more of the expedition's leader. Likewise, Teyla is initially more of a expositionary tool than an essential member of the team, but Luttrell does a fine job mining the depths of her warrior princess's soul.

Armed with nervy rants, anxious ramblings and a last- second solution to any problem, Dr. Mc. Kay is, by some inexplicable genre miracle, Spock, Bones and Scotty rolled into one blazingly funny, terribly endearing savant.

Season Two addition Ronon Dex is the polar opposite of Mc. Kay but, I would argue, just as indispensable. Momoa brings a straight- razor edge and deadpan charm to his no- nonsense warrior, and it isn't long before Ronon joins Sheppard and Mc. Kay as the third point of the series' heroic trinity. Over the course of its five seasons, SGA doesn't attempt to hide the fact that it takes itself a bit more seriously than SG- 1. Even so, it never comes close to devolving into a bleak, humorless affair (a la Stargate Universe).

The Wraith are a fantastic antagonist and, unlike the baddies and beasties of SG- 1, aren't weighed down by intergalactic politics and diplomatic sludge. Hungry, ruthless and nigh unstoppable, they're feral juggernauts of the highest order, and inject a palpable sense of menace and dread into the series' lifeblood. Even when civil war threatens the various hives, the power plays that result are never tedious and, in actuality, lead to some of the show's best storylines. And it's villains like the Wraith (among other foes) that help make the show's drama and humor that much more pointed and refreshing. In the face of certain doom, Sheppard and his allies don't bend or break, they aren't snapped like weak- minded branches in the onslaught of a psychological storm, and they don't fall victim to despair. There's always light at the end of the tunnel, and it's a light that makes the series an absolute joy to watch, even during its darkest hours. BSG is, hands down, the better show.

However, there's something to be said for the fun, adventure and genre- pulp intensity there is to be had in SGA. Battlestar Galactica, brilliant and breathtaking as it may be, is sometimes an exhausting, bittersweet trial of endurance. It's tough to watch episode after episode without feeling the effects deep in your bones. Atlantis, by comparison, is a breath of crisp, clean air; a more episodic, less demanding genre jaunt that knows itself and knows how to give its fans everything they want, week in and week out. Frankly, as much as I adored BSG (and continue to), I was always happy to watch SGA in tandem, if for no other reason than to have a chance to kick back and relax on Atlantis after a devastating, heart- wrenching Cylon trap had been sprung on the Galactica.
