Stargate: Atlantis (5.20) Enemy at the Gate Series Final Episode Promos
Sci-Fi Images, Sci-Fi TV News, Stargate: Atlantis TV Series — By Nix on October 21, 2008
Promo images for the Stargate: Atlantis episode (Season 5, Episode 20) “Enemy at the Gates”. That’s right. This is the final episode of Stargate: Atlantis before the cast and crew jet off into their very own series of made-for-DVD movies, following in the footsteps of the Stargate: SG1 gang. From the looks of these promos (VERY SPOILERISH, I must say), I guess we know who ends up with whom — at least at the end of the episode.
And look whose back, Amanda Tapping! I would have also liked to see Torri Higginson make at least a cameo in the final episode of the TV show, but apparently that wasn’t to be. Too bad, she was really a great part of the show while she was on it.

Spoilers applenty Enemy at the gate was incredible just saw it 2 weeks early maybe 3 anyway the wraith made a mistake going for earth that ZPM powered super hive could have taken out an armadda of enemy hives without so much as a single scratch I mean jeez they laid waste to are ships Daedalus,appollo,senzuu,but to find more ZPM’s and watch Atlantis use the wormhole drive and in a mear instant their in orbit over earth going toe to toe with the superhive is amazing and I love the end out on the balcony overlooking SanFransisco harbor and the Golden Gate. Possibly best Atlantis episode ever.
As a hard core SG1 fan, I had too many issues with Atlantis. Just not the same feel to it. I liked the series, but I found too many episodes were flat and dull. And many lacked that spark SG1 had for excitement. The writers of Atlantis were not the same ones from SG1, that much was apparent with regard to Carter’s character in the Atlantis series. Carter was a strong woman AND a leader in the SG1 series. Atlantis, she was neither strong nor leader like. The episode “trio” where she, rodney and kellar were trapped in that underground cavern is an example of Carter not being her old self. Indecisive and insecure come to mind. Her experiences with the replicators in SG1 were completely disregarded in Atlantis series. Also, the episode “doppelganger” where Sheppard is duplicated by a crystal, Carter did not ‘remember’ how to solve that one from her experiences with the same kind of entity that Jack O’Neil encountered in SG1. Star Trek and its many spin offs, the writers tried their best to be consistent with regard to already established story lines and histories within the trek universe. Not so thus far with the gate universe.
The show lacked focus and too many stories were just dull, and did nothing to aid the series progression. This season alone, I barely look for it on my TV guide. Unlike SG1, where I made a point of making sure I had myself parked to watch the show every week a new episode came along, Atlantis just doesn’t have that kind of appeal because of what I already outlined. Not to mention, Teyla’s character really bombed these past couple seasons since baby came along. I wasn’t crazy about her character to begin with, she barely contributes anything to the ongoing story. Ronin has had more contribution relatively. Crap, I could go on and on.
Fire the writers of this series, rehire the writers of SG1 and create a spinoff from there.
I hate to see this show go. This was my Friday nights for some time. Stargate Universe doesn’t seem interesting or should I say Stargate Voyager.
Are you serious!? Are they crazy? They would rather have idiotic shows like Ghost Hunters and fake wrestling on tv…Their loss.
This has come as a bit of a shock and retiring the Atlantis team is such a waste. Personally I thought the series was getting stronger with every episode…. sadly all things good come to an end, but maybe not as abruptly as this. Anyway, like any new series you have to get a feel for the new characters. I’ll give Stargate Universe a go purely because I too thoroughly enjoy anything with Stargate! If no good then shame on you for dropping Atlantis.
Hi Legs,
Yes I also love everything Stargate, but with some sense. I would give a try with universe, but considering the way they treated atlantis, I will no waste my time to get in love with a series and get dumped like that. This universe will be some kind of startrek voyager with 90102…They are going really kiddy with the actors. I am not sure what audience they are going for it. I am over 25 for sure. Please don’t get me wrong..my niece is 16 and she loves atlantis, but because the actors gave life to the show. It is too risky indeed to jeopard the franchise like that. I hope they can swallow their mistake.
Yeah Josh..what is that with ghosts…man! I always changed the channel.
Hi RuthF,
Wholeheartedly agree with your ‘kiddy’ comment. Here in the UK we had an exciting series called ‘Spooks’. Nothing to do with the ghost variety I might add (all MI5 stuff). They took it off screen and replaced it with a new ‘Spooks Code 9′ series. None of the characters from the original were used and were replaced with a whole new bunch of ‘out of college actors’…..no disrespect of course. I (and my other half) just could not warm to the series and we gave up after a few episodes with total disappointment. The series obviously failed and was never aired again, then some months later the original ‘Spooks’ returned with even stronger character and action packed episodes…………..brill…. may be there could be hope for Atlantis to return if Universe is a flop???????
It sucks to see Atlantis go, such a waste. Personally I hated SG1 but I loved Atlantis and Im sorry to see it go. This reminds me of when Blink 182 broke up, if they ever get back then I think Atlantis should be brought back since they were the greatest things around. As for this universe thing its simple: no Rodney, no watch
I as a young veiwer (19) loved stargate atlantis, by watching atlantis i also started watching sg1(didnt like it as much…). I have no clue as to why this awsome series is ending! The character in this show were so memorable like Rodney and sheppard and my absolute fav was Ronon! what a waste honestly!! I really, truly hope that someone has enough sense to keep this show going or at least do some sort of a spin off with the same characters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
