the first episode is, admittedly, not the strongest but it does get a lot better over the course of the series

Atlantis also DOES kinda break the rules of stargate, which I'm not a fan of It's established very early on in SG-1 that stargates operate on a "whole object in, whole object out" system. If you don't go all the way through, you don't actually exist halfway on both sides, it doesn't start the transfer until you're entirely in But in one episode of Atlantis, the whole conflict of the episode is that a ship is stuck halfway through the gate with half on each side

Like, that mechanic is why gate shields are so terrifying You can't just stick your hand in and feel if you impact something and obliterate your hand
