I love Stargate to death, but I've gotta admit that it's getting to the point where I'm only watching Atlantis because I've been following it since the beginning. Might be good to give the franchise a rest.

Well this just fucks over any chance Stargate Universe had of existing and made my day worse then it already is.

I saw this coming two years ago. It had a great premise, but around the third season, the fan adulation had gotten to everyone's heads (it was affecting SG-1 also, RDA was wise to get out when he did), and they started turning every character into indestructable supermen and got too smug about themselves. It wasnt Stargate anymore to me.
Then the show got even sillier when it became a victim of "Daniel Jackson Syndrome". The casts started changing frequently, and things got really desperate when they had to pull in The Replicators, Tapping and Picardo...Atlantis no longer stood on it's own, it looked like SG-1's handicapped sister show needing as many crutches as it could to stay releavant. It made the abysmal animated series Stargate Infinity look like a better show in concept (which it was, it was just executed badly)
SG-1 was popular because it was a great throwback to syndicated fun and was about down-to-earth military trained people exploring worlds and going through personal journeys. We saw where they lived, who they loved, what they did off-duty...Atlantis had NONE of that relatable content because it was set on alien worlds and cut off from worlds...and the city's ability to fly completly down-graded the importance of the Stargate.
I don't watch spin-offs that think that there Star Trek, instead of what they ought to be.

While I enjoy SG1 and it's movies more, Atlantis was great show but it was starting to lose it's self in the madness. I hope they can do better with universe..if it ever happens

CRETINS! ALL OF THEM!
I thought Atlantis was great when they were cut off from Earth, since it added a little tension.
When it became relatively easy for them to turn tail and runaway should they need to it got a little less special.
And I HATE HATE HATE HATE any kind of Replicators! The milky way replicators were already overused long before they got wiped out... so for them to introduce new Ancient-born Pegasus Replicators? That really sucked to me. I hated them the first episode and I hated how they became the main threat.
