Part 4/11:
As the new season unfolds, John Sheppard’s team aboard the Daedalus stumbles upon a derelict ship filled with children in stasis. The narrative thrust pivots when they realize the ship is ensnared in a deadly chase against an unknown enemy. Behind the scenes, writer Carl Binder aimed to resurrect the Replicator version of Elizabeth Weir, who had drifted into space during Season 5. Although it sounded like a placeholder idea at first, it hinted at the tumultuous return of familiar characters.
Meanwhile, another story, titled “Classic Stargate,” envisioned a return to the early days of the Atlantis expedition. In this light-hearted narrative, fans could have seen the young Lt. Ford embark on another adventure, further enriching the tapestry of Atlantis' expansive universe.
