It’s a common enough sci-fi plot, and it vaguely reminds me of the episode “ Innocence” from Star Trek Voyager, but hopefully a lot more interesting. Given that this is Mallozzi’s idea, he probably had a little more developed, but he seems to imply that these are no ordinary children (hinting at it by referring to the episode’s working title as “Children of the Corn/Fantastic Four”) and quite possibly evil. The team thaws them out and tries to get them where they belong, but soon find out they’re being hunted by a mystery ship. An episode revolving around a group of children found cryogenically frozen on an abandoned ship.The premiere would have seen Atlantis return to the Pegasus Galaxy, naturally.Most of these are little more than premises and some even less than that, such as “a story about the Asuran Replicators.” A few of them, however, were decently well developed. Mallozzi posted a photo of a whiteboard containing a list of potential episodes, roughly in order, that would make up a sixth season. It’s not uncommon for leftover ideas that didn’t make the cut for one season to be brought up again in the context of the next (One famous case of this is the recycling of an old Star Trek: Phase II script in The Next Generation during the writer’s strike of 1988, effectively using an idea that had laid dormant for over a decade).
The first plans for Stargate Atlantis season 6 began, naturally, bouncing around the writer’s room in season 5.
There’s a lot to dig through, however, so I’m going to try to condense it all in one place. With that in mind, the show’s writers have been uncommonly open about their plans, particularly Joe Mallozzi, who posted in great detail what he felt he could share about Stargate Atlantis season 6. Whether its cancellation was deserved or not, we have to face the fact that with the reboot in the works, there’s no going back to Atlantis.
The truth is a bit more complex, but even at the end of its run, Atlantis was popular, with solid ratings, an active fanbase, and growing good will for accepting and addressing some of the more common criticisms of the show. While the story of how it ended has changed over the years, the commonly believed version is that Atlantis was canceled to make room for Stargate Universe, which aimed to take the franchise in new (not necessarily fan-approved) directions. The demise of Stargate Atlantis has long been a point of contention in the Stargate fandom.
