Stargate Trivia - The End
Five years, 100 episodes, and it all came down to a group farewell from the balcony of the City of Atlantis, overlooking San Francisco Bay. Originally, we had planned to land Atlantis off New York but my writing partner, Paul, vehemently objected on grounds of scale. So we changed it to a west coast location. And thus ended the series although, if things had worked out differently, the trip to Earth would have just been a stop on their return journey back to the Pegasus Galaxy. Oh, what fun we’d planned. Well, more than planned. We’d actually written a script, Stargate: Extinction. A script that, sadly, was never produced.
After five seasons, Atlantis had come to an end but, unlike SG-1, it lacked a true sense of finality. I mean, sure, that last shot of our heroes, all together, finally back on Earth worked as a series ender but that was never the intent. By the time we got word of the cancelation, the finale was already in prep. Still, I had no doubt we’d be given the opportunity to truly wrap things up with a movie that would return our heroes to Pegasus and, like the SG-1 finale, suggest that they were still out there and that their adventures continued. At the time anyway.
To be honest, news of the cancellation came as a bit of shock. Up to a few days before receiving final word, various sources had informed me we WERE coming back for a sixth (and probably final) season. The story that was eventually turned into the script, Stargate: Extinction, was originally slated to be the season six two-parter opener (check out my previous post detailing our plans for the season that never was). But, of course, things changed.
As for the this final episode - while, in hindsight, there were a few things I’d have done differently (ie. introduce the idea of the wormhole drive earlier in the season given that it was it was originally conceived, not as a payoff in this episode, but in the “return journey” storyline) it nevertheless worked well in that it closed a chapter while opening the door to endless possibilities. That were, sadly, never pursued.
Here's a video of a run-thru of the show's final scene.
