We have been having an interesting discussion about the nature of Atlantis lately, and where it is, and if should be sent back to the Pegasus galaxy or not.
1.) The first thing is, we are not certain where it is at this specific time. The last we saw, Atlantis was on Earth as of the SGA finale. So far, there has been no factual information stated from the show that Atlantis is anywhere else. So we must assume it is still on Earth. Some will argue it may be "elsewhere" but IMO we can't just say that, we have to with what is said on screen. So I put it to a vote, Where do you think Atlantis is right now?
2.) The second argument is that we know that if SGA got renewed they were going to find a way and a reason to send Atlantis back to the Pegasus galaxy. Some argue that this wouldn't really make sense. For example, the project/mission to find the lost city of the Ancients was fulfilled, they found it and not only that, but brought it home. At this point, you have the greatest city/ship the Ancients ever built, with all its advanced technology and databases of knowledge right there on Earth. The IOA/Governments of Earth who know about the Stargate program would never allow such a great asset to Earth just fly millions of light years away again. The mandate for the Stargate program is to procure advanced technologies, and I'd say Atlantis falls into that category, and its right there on Earth for them to study and possibly use a base.
Some would argue the reason for sending it back to the Pegasus galaxy would be to fight the Wraith and use as a base there. But, IMO, you wouldn't just send your greatest asset like that there with the potential for losing it. Instead, the SGC can easily build a base on a planet there, inside a mountain if they want, or whatever, and use Deadalus class ships to rage war with the Wraith. In fact, Earth shouldn't even really be concerned with the Wraith at this point, since they are cut off from getting to Earth with their slow hyperdrives, and/or don't know the location. So far, we've seen Earth be concerned about the Lucian Alliance, and have said nothing about worrying about the Wraith.
So, I put this to a vote too, do you think Atlantis should have stayed on Earth or gone back to the Pegasus Galaxy.
The poll is Multiple Choice so that you can pick both categories, please only make one vote per Category.
