i agree the ep felt unfinished, and to be honest didnt really add up to anything (just another filler like ep) ... i want a new story arc damn it!! .. give me something to look forward to, not just these 1 ep mini-stories, that really dont give the viewer much to look forward to..

top 2 things i didnt like at all..

1. ending with replicators in space again .. come on how un original, and it will probably bite them in the ass .. aka the last time replicators were left in space (they want revenge)

2. data on many advanced civs .. come on give us something, argh!!!

sg1 had multiple stories that drew on many eps, and branched in other complex story arcs, and some even went over many seasons... and they were interesting and entertaining. Atlantis, as much as i long the characters, this season is seriously lacking in the long term story development area, theres hardly anything going on right now, and its like the writers are out of ideas and dont know where to go..

Stargate Atlantis will end this season

The show will go on, though, with a 2-hour movie that will air on SCI FI in 2009, and be released on DVD by MGM. The film will be written by executive producers Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie.

It's intended to be the first of an on-going series of Atlantis movies, according to the report. Stargate SG-1 has released two very successful movies direct-to-DVD this year (Stargate: The Ark of Truth and Stargate: Continuum), though neither has aired on U.S. television yet.

"The show will live on as a network franchise," the report also says. This could indicate that future Atlantis movies are a lock for SCI FI, or it may be a general statement about the cable network's commitment to the Stargate franchise.

Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper, who created and executive produced Atlantis, pitched a third television series in the 11-year-old TV franchise to the network last year (story). While SCI FI has not yet announced a green light for that show, the end of Atlantis may clear the way -- the dollars available for original programming, that is -- for the next series.

Though Stargate Atlantis has been a solid ratings performer for SCI FI -- and was its highest-rated original program ever when it premiered in July 2004 -- in recent years series like Eureka have supplanted it in the "Live" ratings.

Atlantis remains an extremely strong performer in DVR-delayed viewing, though, often building as much as 25 to 30 percent on its premiere night audience.

Season Five will go out on a cliffhanger, with "Enemy At the Gate" expected to premiere in January. Expect the first Atlantis movie to wrap up that hanging storyline.

I wonder if they have any plans for any other series? or just movies now?

The Powers That Be have been planning a new show, Stargate Universe. They said they didn't want to produce both Atlantis and Universe at the same time since they had a hard time when SG-1 and Atlantis were both running at the same time.

However, there's no news as to whether any television networks (i.e. SciFi) will pick up Universe.

Hahah good riddance, Atlantis had loads of promise exploring the Alterrans and they just dumbed it down and introduced a load of rubbish enemies, i got fed up every time the Genii turned up after they got beat constantly. Im gonna miss McKay, Zelenka and Dr Beckett but im not sad to see the rest of the cast go.

Hopefully they will concentrate on Stargate Universe now.

God whatever Sci-Fi. You suck worse than FOX when it comes to your shows. The channel must be run by monkees or something, idiots.

Trust me, it's run by single celled organisms. Ever see those "iF" commercials on Sci-Fi? Well... if only Sci-Fi would die...

Damnit, why do they have to can another StarGate series. Oh well. Perhaps the next StarGate show will be better.

Because it was doing crap in the ratings, they pay millions and millions to produce stargate, if they arent getting the returns they want of course they are going to cancel it, its not like the story was really going anywhere, the wraith/replicators/genii stories were all stagnant.

What shocks me is that they continue to show Ghost Hunters or whatever that damn show is...

You're telling me that a show about spirits and cameras recording strange signals is going to stay on versus

a show with actors, special effects, and romance? Oh well

I actually find ghost hunters quite good but maybe sci-fi should create a new channel specifically for tv shows like Stargate or X-Files re-runs.

      Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.

      The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
