Progeny, The Real World, Phanthoms, Echoes, Lifeline, Ghost in the Machine – Carl Binder was the king of ghost AND replicator stories. No doubt he would have written one for the show's sixth season. And it would have been brilliant.#Stargate #Atlantis #StargateAtlantis #SG1 https://t.co/eZQX9el9WS

Classic Stargate was an idea Martin Gero pitched, a story that would take place in the early years of the Atlantis expedition, sort of a flashback to an adventure we’d never seen. Loved the idea. #Stargate #Atlantis #StargateAtlantis #SGA https://t.co/eZQX9el9WS

Carter Roshomon was a story idea that didn’t make the cut in season 4 and ended up in the season 5 pile despite the fact that Carter was no longer the base commander. It was originally envisioned as our spin on Kurosawa’s 1950 classic 1/#Stargate #Atlantis #StargateAtlantis #SGA https://t.co/eZQX9el9WS

What happened and what was she being accused of? Guess we’ll never know. Since it didn’t make the cut in season 5, I moved it into the potential season 6 episode discussion list. 3/end#Stargate #Atlantis #StargateAtlantis #SGA

Carl Binder wanted to do a story told from the POV of a red shirt, one of those ubiquitous no-names we lose over the course of an op who is mourned then quickly forgotten in the episode tag when the team is yukking it up in the cafeteria… 1/ #Stargate #StargateAtlantis #SGA https://t.co/eZQX9el9WS

Inspired by the 1950 thriller, Sheppard D.O.A. would have seen John racing against time to find out how he was infected with a deadly toxin and, ultimately, who was responsible and why. And also, maybe, find an antidote. #Stargate #Atlantis #SGA #StargateAtlantis https://t.co/eZQX9el9WS

Hexed
While visiting an alien community, Sheppard is cursed by a kooky local. At first, our heroes laugh off the incident – until Sheppard runs into a spate of bad luck. VERY bad luck.

So, which of these episodes would have looked forward to most?
This is the best! So fun to watch it unfold!
oh, what could have been…. 🙁
Thanks so much for sharing this with us. Personally, I guess I’m greedy because I want to see ALL of the stories. I find it difficult to pick a favorite. I would definitely want to see the opening two-parter, Classic Stargate, Sheppard DOA, mid-season two-parter, Episode 616, and of course the season finale which sounds wonderful.
I meant to ask which are your picks?
Time travel, mid-season two parter, and finale.
The time travel episodes by far are excellent. Not to say the whole season sounds amazing! Wish we got to see it but sadly not! What a shame this would have been awesome!
All of them 🙂
All of those are good. That was only ONE season? Wowza! I remember you said if the budget had been larger that you would have moved Atlantis to other planets. That would have cool, also.
Back from my trip! It was a nice vacation but now back to the real world.
I have been enjoying the Musk/Twitter story. A whole lot of crazy out there. 😉
What?! You mean Atlantis supposed to be the series finale season???
10.. 11..14..16-20. I read this as slow as possible.. wanted to enjoy every word.. and Wow. Would have been an amazing season.. and so much to unpack. Michael, Koyla, zpm factory.. FORD! and a few versions of Todd (my fav). Don’t think I’ve ever been so thankful, bummed and stoked all at once. Thank you sir.
“Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow” sounds especially good.
“Hexed” would be really funny, and I love some Shep whump.
Mid-Season Two-Parter: So does this mean we would get to see Hybrid Lorne and Hybrid Woolsey?
Finale: If Weir is back and the series continued beyond this despite it saying “end of series”, I wonder if she would take over command of Atlantis again, or possibly even join one of the field teams in a role similar to the one Daniel played on SG-1. By the way, it’s a bit weird the Atlantis teams never got formal designations, just “Sheppard’s team” etc.
Would you consider doing a post like this elaborating on the 13 brief Dark Matter Season 4 descriptions that you posted here way back when?: https://josephmallozzi.com/2017/08/16/august-16-2017-dark-matter-season-4-preview/
.
Maybe…
It would be really appreciated. Some of those titles, like “Once and Future” are a very interesting tease.
Oh, and I wanted to say, clearly the next logical step for Carl Binder was to do a story with ghost Replicators. 😉
.
Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow sounds awesome! Would have been very interesting to see how this plays out, especially with each timeline affecting each other for a final result.
Thanks for writing these, was a lot of fun to see what could have been.
This proposed season sounds a bit heavy handed with the whole “I’m not really dead” trope though. I felt that Michael and Kolya both met decent ends in their own story arcs… but I guess it’s also fitting for someone like Kolya to have a season finale worthy level vendetta.
I would have loved to see the episodes of the Aliens from the Deadalus variations the glimpses we got from them were already great.(the ship tech and the look of the race).
Would Weir also be in episode 20?
