The twenty episodes that constitute the first season of Stargate: Atlantis introduced the audience to a new world, related to but separate from the world of Stargate SG-1. Finally, humans have discovered the legacy of the Ancients, the Lost City of Atlantis. As humans explore the city and encounter dangerous new enemies throughout the season, viewers are taken on a wild ride of adventure and drama, with just enough comic relief along the way.
