So the powers that be have decided to cancel Stargate Atlantis at the end of the current season.
Now I quite like Atlantis despite its flaws and if this news had come during season 3 I would have been upset. But season 4 was fairly uninspired and had a terrible season finale which has lead into a fairly poor start to season 5. So I was surprised to read this in Joseph Mallozzi’s blog:

100 episodes is pretty damn impressive feat and, as evidenced by the quality of recent stories and the uptick in the ratings, we’ll be going out on a high. |
I think the episodes have been pretty average so far – until this week’s episode (#6) ‘The Shrine’. I loved this story but then I think the best thing in Atlantis is McKay – even though it annoys me that no one pronounces his name correctly. If they could produce shows this good consistently then maybe it wouldn’t be getting cancelled now.
