Stargate Atlantis is the spin-off of the Sci-Fi Channel's most popular series, Stargate SG-1, which follows four explorers of distant worlds, who travel via an interplanetary portal, the Stargate. Originally intended to replace SG-1, Atlantis was revised when Sci-Fi picked up SG-1 for another season. Fearing that viewers would think of Atlantis as little more than SG-2, producers distinguished between them by making Atlantis so remote that traveling there would offer little opportunity ever to return home. And so, the team that goes to Atlantis is "lost," following in the footsteps of previous television explorers in Lost in Space, Battlestar Galactica , and Star Trek : Voyager.
