A fantasy drama set in a world of legendary heroes and mythical creatures. Far from home and desperate for answers, Jason washes up on the shores of an ancient land. A mysterious place; a world of bull leaping, of snake haired goddesses and of palaces so vast it was said they were built by giants - this is the city of Atlantis. Aided by his two new friends, Pythagoras and Hercules, Jason embarks on a voyage of discovery, and salvation, which sees him brush shoulders with Medusa, come face to face with the Minotaur and even do battle with the dead.

The co-creator of Stargate was interviewed about it and said:
>The only thing that is blocking the SG-1 movie or the Atlantis movie, the only thing, is the fact that the direct-to-DVD market has gone away

Interestingly, he also talked about the need to appeal to an audience outside of the existing fan base, quite relevant to the current discussion:
>If you just try to hang on to the viewers you have and the numbers are going down, they’ll eventually go down to the point where the network and the studio will say, “OK, we’re done.” That’s what happens. That’s definitely what happens.
I will watch Picard season two whenever it comes out. I just ordered STG:1 on DVD, and will probably do Atlantis after that. If keeping up with the Cardashians had been what I thought it was, I would definitely be watching that too.
Those aren't bad TV shows, unlike most of Marvel. I think maybe that is because they actually believe in/stand for something, as opposed to just being boobs and fights.
