Moving onto the second episode of the set, "Enemy at the Gates" jumps us over five seasons worth of episodes and picks up during the final showdown with the Wraith. The life-sucking aliens have found Earth and a large ship of theirs is preparing to unleash its fury on our home planet. Defending Earth is a lone Ancient chair which controls the only weapons capable of defeating the invaders. Meanwhile, Atlantis has found the power to lift off from its adoptive planet in the Pegasus galaxy and is flying home to Earth, where it engages the Wraith ship.
Of course, more happens, but I am not going to tell you. If you are a fan, you likely know already. I will say that I sort of liked the final moments, although it fails to live up to the excellence of the SG-1 finale.
Bottom line. This is a very nice set. The packaging looks good, the two series book-ending episodes are quite entertaining. This high definition test run for the series is pretty solid and I look forward to full seasons. So, if you are a fan, get this. If not, go check out the seasons first.
Recommended (to fans).
