The thing with Atlantis was that they got away from the SG1 formula- which was a good thing to me, having already owned all of SG1 on DVD and watched it a million times!
The other thing was the ongoing story narrative- which I much prefer but was again, not in the style of SG1's more syndication-friendly format.

A lot like the difference between TNG and DS9 in that regard (and I looooove DS9!).

And yeah, I love McKay! I just wish they'd have mentioned his past as a classical pianist- spoken of in SG1- not that it would have been easy to do, but they got to Earth on occasion!

SG1 was the shit because they referenced all sorts of other sci fi- with stuff like McKay cockblocking Sheppard by calling him "Kirk".
