MGM announces Stargate Atlantis Season Five on DVD

Beware of SPOILERS for Season Five’s “The Prodigal” in the report below.

The final season of Stargate Atlantis is coming to DVD on June 30, including tons of bonus features and — for the first time ever — extended versions of two key episodes! Today MGM and Fox Home Entertainment officially announced the 5-disc release for North America (Region 1).

The set includes all 20 episodes from the show’s final year, including never-before-seen extended cuts of “Vegas” and the series finale, “Enemy At the Gate.” Bonus features include audio commentaries for 16 episodes (everything but “Ghost In the Machine,” “The Shrine,” “Infection” and “Identity”), two segments of deleted scenes, photo and production design galleries, and the following original featurettes:

  • Showdown! Ronan v. Tyre
  • Bringing the Seed to Life
  • Tricks of the Trade: Submerging the Stargate
  • Joe Flanigan: A Conversation with the Colonel
  • Dr. Jackson Goes to Atlantis
  • Building a Humanoid with James Robbins and Martin Gero
  • The Life and Death of Michael Kenmore
  • Deleted Scenes (Part One)
  • Stargate Atlantis Goes To Vegas
  • Inside the Stargate Costume Department
  • Deleted Scenes (Part Two)

Also look for four new installments in the “Mission Directive” series, which follows the director and writer behind the scenes of one particular episode. This season the series looks at “Search and Rescue” (Andy Mikita and Martin Gero), “Whispers” (William Waring and Joseph Mallozzi), “Tracker” (William Waring and Carl Binder), and “Brain Storm” (Martin Gero).

Check out the press release on the next page for the full list of bonus features, including audio commentaries, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and deleted scenes.

  • Can't wait. Looking forward to the extended version of "Enemy at the Gate" especially.

  • I very much am looking forward to the extended versions. I wish they could do more of them. I've often thought that one way they could get me to buy more dvds is to re-release all the episodes in their extended, "director's cut" versions. That would be very tempting...

  • Ack! No commentary for The Shrine!
    But I'm still can't wait to get my hands on it, lots of xtras!

  • Maybe Enemy at the Gate won't feel so damned rushed now.

    Shame about the lack of commentary on Shrine.

  • The extras don't seem any more special than usual I am super syked for the extended episode, though I don't know if I will notice as they will be my first viewing. I was upset when I heard the ending was only a one parter, how much long is it? Does anyone know I doubt it will be any more than 5 minutes but I hope it's a good 15 minutes longer.

  • It sucks that there's no commentary on Shrine - it's like last year with Midway. On the other hand, at least we get a commentary on Prodigal - it's one of my favorite episodes of the whole series and Andy Mikita always dishes the funniest stuff :)

  • I'm looking forward to the extended versions of the episodes and the deleted scenes. What about bloopers?
