I do wonder what storylineshe were planned for season 6 had the series not been canceled.
shareI hope that Atlantis went back to the Pegasus Galaxy - and there they'd fix the Wraith problem and get Weir out of space. At least a movie could've wrapped up those open ends...
shareThis will give you a good idea, it's a blog post from one of the writers/producers.

it's not bad, but the bit about teyla's loss and the future with john would just suck, we already had o'niell and carter (did they or didn't they) thang in sg1 and hinted at a bit in atlantis.
Also the whole failsafe thing is kind of dumb, when you think about why would the failsafe kick in AFTER it's been moved ? like why wouldn't it of activated when the hyperdrive stalled on the edge of Pegasus ?
and the atlantis gate isn't the original one either...
the city gets damaged yet again 'yawn'...
imho: a better story would be someone from pegasus calls for atlantis, because of the gen-i or the 'coalition' are calling in the marker...
en route to help the worm hole drive breaks down and the alien race from the deadulus varitions show up and start attacking atlantis..
I'm not a fan of the failsafe myself. I think it is a cheap way to get around having to deal with the fight against the bureaucracy that wants to keep Atlantis in the Milky Way. I much rather they get to have that fight and win, even if it's as a result of a crisis back in the Pegasus Galaxy.
That said, since the failsafe is tied to gate the issue most likely has to do with the gate system that the gate is hooked into. I assume that when they configure the gate to work with the Milky Way gate network, the presence of a foreign gate network is detected and that triggers the self-destruction. That it's not the original gate is irreverent as the failsafe would likely be tied into the dialing program, not the Stargate itself.
Of course, if you shut that down by returning to the Pegasus galaxy and hooking the gate up to the Pegasus gate system, what's to stop you from going back to the Milky Way again and scrapping the connection between the gate and Atlantis' systems? They could just attach an independent DHD that they looted to some wall or an Earth based computer with their homemade dialing program the next time around. Sure, there are energy considerations at play n traveling between galaxies, but the Ancients seem to have presupposed that whoever takes the city for this purpose wouldn't have enough energy to make the trip again as, if it works as I think it does, it's a one and done due to it only working the first time because of the surprise factor.
