Stargate Atlantis - TV Guide: Season 5 Premiere Article

From the June 30 - July 13 issue of TV Guide:



STARGATE ATLANTIS

Friday 10/9C SciFi

Cliff-hanger alert: in the Season 4 finale, most of the Stargate: Atlantis gang were pinned underneath a crumbling building booby-trapped by the nefarious Wraith Michael (Connor Trinneer). While they escape in the Season 5 opener, it's not before Sheppard experiences a weird hallucination about the kidnapped Teyla. So what else can fans anticipate this season?

"We're going to hit 100 episodes, says executive producer Martin Gero, "and an unlikely love triangle [will] develop [involving] McKay, Keller and Ronon."


Expect an even bigger change for Robert Picardo's uptight Richard Woolsey, who will succeed Samantha Carter as team leader since Amanda Tapping is moving on to SciFi's Sanctuary.

There's also a treat in store for SG-1 fans when Michael Shanks' Daniel Jackson visits in the mid-season finale to help McKay solve a mystery with some "really good bad guys."

Says Gero, "It's just what the fans want to see."


Should be out of this world.
