Last night I watched the return of Stargate Atlantis following on from the Stargate SG1: Continuum from last week. One aspect I noted with interest was the 'grittiness' that has been added especially the depiction of gore and violence. Presumably they have to compete with the likes of Battlestar Galactica, Bionic Woman and Sarah Connor Chronicles which have focused on a more adult audience.

I must admit it was a welcome return to a still popular show but wonder how much further they can take the Wraith story line before it gets a little staid and boring and continuing with a theme it is about time the Replicators were but out to roost as they return later in the series.
One added bonus is the addition of Dr Daniel Jackson mid series but I bid a fond farewell to Colonel Carter (Amanda Tapping) who is off to star in the new SciFi series Sanctuary as Dr. Helen Magnus.
