I was just noticing that the Stargate Atlantis show has alot in common with Deep Space 9


SG-A: Atlantis takes place on a city-sized former spaceship.
DS-9: Deep Space Nine takes place on a city sized-space station.

SG-A: Atlantis was built by another race called the Ancients.
DS-9: DS9 was built by the cardassians

SG-A: All the controls are in an alien language.
DS-9: All the controls are in an alien language.

SG-A: Atlantis has a gate that opens up a wormhole to our home galaxy.
DS-9: DS9 is stationed by a wormhole to another part of the galaxy.


SG-A: Atlantis has shuttles called Puddlejumpers.
DS-9: DS9 has shuttles called Runabouts.


SG-A: The locals are from a once great technological civilization ravaged by the Wraiths.
DS-9: The locals are from a once great technological civilization ravaged by Cardassians.


SG-A: if you have a worm in you, you are either a Jaffa or a Goa'uld
DS-9: If you have a worm in you, you are a Trill.


SG-A: The locals revere the Ancients
DS-9: The locals revere the Founders


SG-A: Colm Meany plays a guest star on three episodes
DS-9: Colm Meany plays Chief Miles O'Brien


SG-A: Sexy local alien girl named Teyla
DS-9: Sexy local alien girl named Kira (though Dax was sexier)

SG-A: Annoying (but funny) Doctor named McKay
DS-9: Annoying (but just annoying) Doctor named Bashir

SG-A: It's a darker spinoff of a hit show called Stargate Sg-1 whish is a spinoff of a hit movie called Stargate
DS-9: It's a darker spinoff of a hit show called Star Trek: Next Generation which was a spinoff of a hit series called Star Trek.

Those are great observations Thomas! Atlantis certainly seems to have a very big canvas to tell stories with. While I don't think the show is "darker" than SG-1, it is different. I like the charaters and the production values are top-notch. This show will certainly ease the pain when SG-1 comes to an end.

Dax was sexier

But which Dax?

I vote the DeBoer Dax as the pinacle of fabulous Dax babes.
