The Sci Fi Channel has given a fifth-season renewal to "Stargate Atlantis," commissioning 20 fresh episodes." 'Atlantis' truly came out from under the shadow of its sister series this year and proved that it's a hit in its own right," said Sci Fi's Mark Stern, exec veep of original programming. The show's predecessor, "Stargate SG-1," ran for 10 seasons on Sci Fi before completing its run last year.

In its Friday 10 p.m. timeslot, "Atlantis" has chalked up a season-to-date average of 1.8 million total viewers, easily outperforming Sci Fi's primetime average of about 1.3 million total viewers.

Stern said Sci Fi is in "a good place" when it comes to scripted original series, anticipating lots of buzz for the final 22-episode season of "Battlestar Galactica," now in production. Sci Fi has also renewed "Eureka" for a third season and greenlit "Revolution," a two-hour pilot for a proposed series. Stern said Sci Fi has made no decision yet on whether to renew "Flash Gordon," another Friday-night original, for a second season.

yay!

now all they need to do is second Carter back to the SGC for a while, rescue Weir while Carter's away (seeing as she thwarted John's rescue mission idea) and get Beckett back and I'll be ecstatic.

That and actually show Teyla's baby, rather than just have it mysteriously vanish from sight like what happens in other genre shows

orthey could pull a voyager and keep her pregnant in s5 as well...

There are a few options for Teyla's offspring:

Abducted by aliens
>Miraclegro route - but they did that on SG1 and it's >been done to DEATH
>Is raised by someone else
>Eegads, dad abducts baby! call TMZ!
>Dies

yeah, it's not like a goldfish you can feed once a day and forget about...
