When a secret base abandoned by the Ancients — the original builders of the stargates — is found buried in the ice of Antarctica, the Stargate Atlantis team is recruited for the most daring stargate mission yet: a one-way expedition to the distant Pegasus galaxy.
There the Stargate Atlantis team encounters a number of primitive human civilizations ... as well as The Wraith, a sinister new enemy that threatens human life everywhere.
The Stargate Atlantis mission is headed by Dr. Elizabeth Weir (Torri Higginson), a specialist in diplomatic relations. Her political savvy is balanced by the go-with-your-gut bravado of her military counterpart, Maj. John Sheppard (Joe Flanigan), a courageous and gifted pilot. Rounding out the team are Lt. Aiden Ford (Rainbow Sun Francks), the enthusiastic young officer who becomes Sheppard's second-in-command; and Dr. Rodney McKay (David Hewlett), a clever and quick-witted astrophysicist with previous experience at Stargate Command. The team is befriended by Pegasus galaxy native Teyla (Rachel Luttrell), a beautiful young leader among the Athosian people, with whom the Atlantis team forges an uneasy alliance against The Wraith.
New faces join the Team this season. Most notable among them are Ronan Dex (Jason Momoa), a human native to the Pegasus galaxy who has fought the Wraith for seven years in defense of his planet. And from Earth comes Col. Steven Caldwell (Mitch Pileggi), the commander of Earth's newest intergalactic battle cruiser, the Daedalus.

SGA is my favorite show right now. It has an exciting and fun plot, a great loveable cast, and it’s a little less military orientated than the show it spined off of (Stargate: SG-1). That pleases me fine, but I’m sure others may get cranky about it. The series is two seasons in. Season three starting in July. :3
SGA is also slashy as all hell, which is why I’ve made a thread. XD
I personally don’t have an OTP for SGA, but there are a lot of pairings I do like. My favorite is Ronon Dex/Carson Beckett. How sweet they are to each other! I’m also very fond of Ronon/Sheppard (mmm, military smex). Zelenka/Mckay, is to me, one of the most possible couples and one of the most underrated couples in the series. They already act like a married couple... a very geeky, bickering married couple. :3 And then there’s fandom’s OTP... McShep, which I do enjoy because Mckay and Sheppard have a tendency to eat my brain separately so together they are a force to be reckoned with together. Hehe, but really, they are rather cute together.
Okay, so I’ve babbled on enough. Now to hear all your thoughts. As always, talk about the series, the pairings, agree and disagree, gush, giggle and whatever else you want. Let’s have a nice discussion folks.
