A brand new team, a brand new enemy bent on dominating the brand new galaxy, and a brand new Stargate show! This month we’re revisiting Stargate Atlantis Season One as part of the Stargate Rewatch project. Now it’s time to vote on your favorite episodes, character moments, villains, and more!
We took nominations earlier this month, and have put the most-nominated on the official ballot below. This includes Best Moment characters for everyone who was a main cast member in Season One. (Look for the “Best Beckett Moment” to debut next month.)
You don’t have to be a Rewatch participant to vote, but please vote only once! Voting will close on June 30, and we’ll announce the winners for the month before we head on into Atlantis Season Two in July. Be sure to come back then to nominate your favorites from Season Two.
The polls are now closed. Thanks for your votes!

The choices for individual moments are tough here, since the team all had great moments in the first season. Well, everyone in the team except for Ford. It's a shame they didn't do more to develop Ford and then wrote him off, but at least his departure paved the way for Ronon. I picked Shepard and McKay in The Storm, I think that's when they both shined in season 1. I picked Teyla in The Siege just because I didn't like the Bates character. Ditto for Weir in 38 minutes and Kavanaugh. Seeing Teyla and Weir get their satisfaction by putting pests in their place was great. The team moment for me was in The Eye. Coupled with the storm, they were two of the best episodes in season 1 along with The Siege.
For alien race and alien technology, had to pick the Wraith and Hive Ships. They really set up a completely different enemy for Atlantis, with great technology. We might have stumbled upon an Ancient city-ship, but they have huge, living ships full of life-sucking soldiers. For individual villain, however, had to pick Kolya. There was someone ruthless who would do what it takes to achieve his goals, and the Wraith had been a faceless enemy in season 1.
The Best Guest Star had to be the toughest pick. Except for Chaya, they were all great characters. Ultimately, I picked Col. Sumner. That first encounter with the Wraith was so pivotal for the entire series. The Wraith learned of a rich feeding ground from Sumner, and ended up waking the entire Wraith population. Shepard had to step up to fill Sumner's shoes, and face questioning from everyone, including questioning himself. Robert Patrick was great in this role.
the first season of atlantis is some of the best sci fi ive ever seen and it is what originally got me hooked on stargate. we are lucky to have a show that lasted 17 seasons and a few movies to always go back and rewatch. ive seen countless hours of stargate and it never gets old
I think its a shame Beckett was not listed in the main group, since Vala was for season nine of SG1 before she became main cast. Mind you I was part of the Save CB campaign, so I'm biased!
Atlantis's first Season has some of the best character work Stargate did in twelve seasons of television. - Good supporting characters like Zelenka, Grodin and Heightmeyer and the annoying Bates and Kavanaugh. Solid writing for the leads, except Ford. An exciting new concept, with lots of opportunities.- Pity it went down the pan later on!
Brilliant excuse to re-watch on my shiny new blu rays (well not so new - i got them for xmas) and will be a more active participator in this than the SG1 rewatch. Votes submitted, can't wait for the outcome. Also went for Robert Patrick as best guest star, that was a major coup!
Makin' me pick between 38 Minutes, The Eye and Siege II. That's hard...
