We're rewatching the final season of Atlantis all through October -- part of the Stargate Rewatch! #SGRewatch

‘It looks like Atlantis is coming home.’

We’ve been rewatching every episode, every season of Stargate for more than a year now, and the Stargate Rewatch has finally arrived at the end of Stargate Atlantis! All through October Rewatchers will be enjoying the final 20 episodes of the series.

Here’s your intro to the season, with links to all the related SGA goodness on GateWorld! Learn more about the Stargate Rewatch and how you can participate in the final stretch.

With Teyla still missing, Colonel Sheppard and the rest of the team manage to rescue her from Michael’s clutches — just as she gives birth to her son. But the Wraith hybrid still has his sights set on the child. Meanwhile Carson Beckett is out of stasis, Keller is ready to start live trials of a new retrovirus that could free the Wraith of the need to feed on humans, and a mysterious and powerful new species invades the city and takes Drs. Rodney McKay and Daniel Jackson prisoner.

And that’s just the first ten episodes!

Change is once again in the air in Atlantis, as Colonel Carter is reassigned and the expedition given a new commander: a civilian, the I.O.A. executive Richard Woolsey (actor Robert Picardo). The team is called to answer for the decisions they have made on behalf of the entire Pegasus Galaxy, and a Wraith with a powerful new hive ship finds a way to attack Earth.
