** The shipping fandom generally started with Sheppard×Teyla, who was intended to be the canon alien LoveInterest and Sheppard×Weir. With [=McKay=]×Sheppard as the typical sci-fi slash couple. The Sheppard×Teyla ship never really got out past the pilot due to crap writing. Shepard×Weir, despite their actors deliberately playing to that ship, never got recognised by the writing staff and then Weir got hit by bad writing. Barely anyone liked [=McKay=] with Keller, the show itself started going downhill, and the shipping in the fandom petered out.
** The writers also {{Ship Tease}}d Ronon×Keller before deciding to go the [=McKay=]×Keller route, which the fandom reacted much more positively to (it didn't interfere with shipping [=McKay=]×Sheppard, and Ronon was pretty popular so fans liked the idea of him getting to be with someone).
* SpotlightStealingSquad: ''Rodney [=McKay=].'' He receives the most backstory and character development over the course of the series, including some backstory for his own sister, who appeared in several episodes. It makes everyone else look static and flat in comparison.
* TheWoobie: Poor, poor Michael... at least in his first episode. After a while he's just a {{Jerkass}}.
* EngagingChevrons: Played straight and subverted in "Rising". A big deal is made out of dialing the 8th chevron to actually get to Atlantis. Later, [=McKay=] slips into Walter's old "Chevron One... Encoded" routine the first time the Atlantis gate is dialed and gets a dirty look from Weir. After that it's never done again, since the Atlantis gate can be dialed in a matter of ''seconds''.
* GeniusBonus: Genii is the plural form the Latin word "Genius" (no pun intended). Not only do the Genii think highly of themselves, it also indicates that they may have had some history with the Ancients.
* {{Hilarious in Hindsight}}: Rodney: "I don't have time to explain to Conan and Xena", referring to Ronon and Teyla. Jason Momoa has been since cast as Conan.
* IdiotPlot: The whole SeriesFinale.
* MagnificentBastard: Todd the Wraith
* {{Shipping}}: A lot of it, with [=McKay=]×Keller now canon.

* {{Growing the Beard}}: All the {{Badass}} characters either show up or are promoted in season 2: Ronon, Caldwell, Lorne, Beckett, Sheppard, etc.
Added DiffLines:
* VillainDecay: The Wraith seem to go through this, especially in the last couple of seasons, due to both LoweredMonsterDifficulty and the story changing the emphasis from "the Wraith slowly wiping out all Pegasus humans" to battles against EvilerThanThou enemies such as the Replicators and Michael.
