Richard Woolsey (Robert Picardo) takes command of the Atlantis base in the fifth season premiere.
As part of Hulu’s attempt to take over the world, ten episodes from the fifth season of Stargate Atlantis are now available to watch online … for free!
The first half of the season is available from now until May 23, from “Search and Rescue” to “First Contact.” According to the site, they have rights to show ten episodes at a time — implying that “The Lost Tribe” through “Enemy At the Gate” might become available after these episodes expire.
The Atlantis section of the site also features a handful of actor Q&As and other special features.
Sorry, international fans … due to distribution rights, online viewing at Hulu is only available for U.S. viewers.
The site is a joint venture from NBC Universal and FOX, and features a huge selection of TV and film — both new, first-run series and classics from years gone by.

lol “As part of Hulu’s attempt to take over the world”
That was funny. I like Hulu, they have Dollhouse eps too.
stargatelvr | February 23 @ 9:32 pmWhy are they doing this???!!! Won’t this hurt the sales of the DVD’s and iTunes? Won’t this kill people’s interest in watching reruns on SciFi or wherever? Won’t all this thereby undermine the financial viability of the franchise and hurt the possibility of their making more movies? Does SciFi never intend to run the show again? I do not understand this at all.
GateEngineer17 | February 23 @ 9:51 pmI think that the prevailing wisdom is that making episodes available online for free, on a limited and temporary basis, actually helps DVD sales in the long run. It falls under the category of “promotional” for the networks. More exposure.
Darren Sumner | February 23 @ 10:01 pmHaha. They could only take over the world if it was available for the world to watch. Unfortunately, you have to be in the US to watch hulu stuff. The US falls a little short of being the entire world.
Alexandria7 | February 24 @ 12:02 amso they take over the world… in the US only?? well then we of another world must find them elsewhere;)
monzoon | February 24 @ 9:31 amYeah, yeah, we all know it’s in the US only. So what? It’s the stupid channel companies’ fault, not Hulu’s. And I, for one, am absolutely ecstatic. I’m loving going back and watching these episodes, as well as recommending a free and legal way to get all my non-gater friends hooked on Stargate.
And for the record, I am one hundred percent definitely getting the season 5 DVDs when they come out. :D
Caladria | February 24 @ 9:53 amFor some reason this site (Hulu) does not work here in the UK.
dreadtech | February 24 @ 5:01 pmHulu is only available to those in the USA Dreadtech.. As those above you have just said!! lol. Lucky sods seem to get all the best stuff for free online.
Us Europeans will have our chance eventually though I’m sure… Well… We feckin better do! lol. ;)
Orion2 | February 24 @ 5:37 pmI think it’s a great idea to put them on hulu. Now that the show has come to an end I would imagine this move will bring revenues in at a more steady rate through hulu advertising.
Cheapshot | February 25 @ 2:15 amyey lets kill the dvd sales so we wont have to make the movie or put up with the actors…. i bet this is why they are doing this just like when they leaked some of the episodes on you tube of season five. man they really must hate this show. geez!
