Stargate Atlantis-final goodbye!

I was not disappointed with the final end to SGA. Season Five was great. All the episodes this season wasn't a disappointment after it was announced the show was ending. Each episode would go by and I couldn't think why they would end this show but who knows the real reason, money is my guest. I went into the final show excited and I hoped everything would turn out for the best and I wanted it to end with a happy note. To my surprise it ended the way I hoped. Okay I suck at doing a review so on the Gateworld website here I'm going to use there outline of what Enemy At The Gate is about because they can explain it better than I can and in bold is what I added in. The team learns that a rogue Wraith has acquired several Z.P.M.s ( Zero Point Module's-power source the Ancients use to run there technology) to power a formidable new hive ship -- and he is headed for Earth. Todd contacts Atlantis and reveals that a Wraith subordinate has managed to acquire several Zero Point Modules that he has used to power a formidable new hive ship. He urges Woolsey to attack and destroy before it becomes a threat to Atlantis. On board the Daedalus ( One of many Earth Vessels equipped with Asgard Technology) , Colonel Caldwell, Colonel Sheppard and the rest of the team, rush to engage the new hive ship. But the Z.P.M. powered vessel proves itself an impressive opponent, crippling the Daedalus before making a sudden and inexplicable jump into hyperspace. Puzzled over the Wraith's sudden departure, the team picks up a weak subspace signal in Wraith code. McKay is quick to recognize that the communique was sent, through subspace, from another reality. Once deciphered, their worst fears are realized. The Wraith message contains a familiar set of coordinates. The hive ship is on its way to Earth! Okay that's all the write up on Gateworld. I'll finish my take on the rest of the episode. After they realize the Wraith Hive Ship is on it's way to Earth and now the Daedalus is severely not in working shape to get back in time, the team uses the last of the ZPM's to fly Atlantis to Earth. Col. Sheppard was sent back to Earth through the Stargate to Stargate Command just in case Atlantis doesn't get there in time. Sheppard is back on Earth and after he arrives realizes the Hive ship got to Earth sooner than they expected. The Ancient chair they found in Antarctica years ago Sheppard thought he could get there in time to help fight against the Wraith but little did he know they moved the chair to Area 51. Sheppard decided to use a one of Stargate Commands aircraft and deter the Wraith darts away from Area 51 but the Wraith succeeded and destroyed the chair. On Atlantis, they find out the Stargate isn't working, realized what is going on, McKay, Ronon, Teyla, and Lorne go through the gate and the other end is on the Hive Ship. Sheppard decided to be Sheppard and fly his aircraft up to the Hive ship and set off a Nuclear Bomb. I think it was more of a suicide mission myself but that's Sheppard for you. The team is on the hive ship fighting off the Wraith and Ronon gets stabbed and dies. I couldn't believe they killed Ronon off and then the rest of them leaves him there. ( I could say I wasn't at all pleased) Sheppard realizes the rest of the team is on board with him. They set up a plan. While the rest of the Atlantis Team on Atlantis is on it's way to Earth Zelanka figures out a risky way for Atlantis to travel faster through space. Woolsey agrees with the idea. So now Ronon is died and the rest of the team looks like they are going to be blown up with a Nuclear Bomb and the whole time I'm sitting there thinking it wasn't cool they killed off Ronon. A Wraith finds Ronon and gives him his Wraith life force to ask Ronon how many of them are on his Hive. Stupid reason to bring someone back but at least, Ronon is alive again. The team finds Ronon kill some more Wraith and right before the bomb goes off they were able to escape through the gate to the Alpha Site. Atlantis is badly damaged by the Hive and comes crashing to Earth but makes it through the Atmosphere and glides into the Pacific Ocean. The ending shows the team standing on one of many balcony's over looking the San Francisco Bay with the Golden Gate bridge right in front of them. The End! From Gateworld: I thought they pulled out all the stops for the finale, not only with different beloved characters in the Atlantis gallery that pop up, but I think it's a pretty spectacular one hour [with] three different story lines really hurtling toward the conclusion. ... It's going to have good action, great visuals, and it's got a nice little emotional punch at the end. I think it was a very nice way to not only wrap up the series but to open the door to some television movies, because where we left off at the end it certainly begs the question of what's next. I think it's a very well-crafted finale. I second that!! Goodbye and thanks for 100 episodes of Atlantis! Tear!!! I will miss this show!! Season Five comes out on DVD in the Summer of 2009. Can't wait! Take care, Peace!!! Edit: http://josephmallozzi.wordpress.com/ My Favorite Blogger Joe Mallozzi has a good entry called Finale. He's was a writer and one of the many Executive Producers for Stargate Atlantis. I thought you might like to get his prospective and also he posted some great pictures.
