This episode introduced a new group of characters, several which had originally appeared on SG-1.
Premiering in July 2004 with the two-hour “Rising”, Stargate Atlantis garnered huge ratings and set records for viewership on the Sci-Fi Network (now SyFy – don’t get me started). Could the Vancouver production deliver 40 episodes of television each year? If there was any chance for Stargate Atlantis to succeed, it needed to move beyond its predecessor and deliver a brand-new adventure.

Re-tooling the story during SG-1’s seventh season, the stage was set for the popular series to run concurrently with a second show in the Stargate universe. The surprising renewals and continued popularity altered the landscape and opened up a much-different possibility, a spin-off series.

Its producers were planning for a possible movie to continue the story and focus on the lost city of Atlantis. During its fifth and sixth seasons, Stargate SG-1 barely survived cancellation and concluded with episodes that could work as series finales. It did up the ante as far as the presence of Atlantis goes, which will hopefully pay off before the end of the series, but the way it was presented could have been better.The story of Stargate Atlantis began several years prior to its 2004 premiere. Overall, this was a poorly written episode, but fun to watch. His roll as leader of the expedition is acceptable and welcomed. Although at no point did I think he was a great lawyer, he was a very convincing speaker, and his dedication towards Atlantis was clear as day.
"Inquisition" was a chance for Woolsey to shine once again, and shine he does. It did however allow the writers a chance to give a nod to Star Trek with the mentioning of a "Federation," very nice. I could think of a million different and more exciting way to get Atlantis involved in galaxy affairs.

I understand that the trial was a set-up, but the whole thing was a simple waste of time. The Ancients were around 10,000 years ago, as were the people of the Pegasus, and over those 10,000 years we can clearly see how far they have advanced, not very. As stated in the show, pretty much everything that has happened would have eventually happened and the people of the Pegasus still wouldn't be prepared. In a galaxy filled with little to no technology one would think that Atlantis would be welcomed with open arms especially when fighting someone as powerful and deadly as the Wraith. In the end, the purpose behind this episode was to put the Atlantis expedition in a more active place in the Pegasus Galaxy, but the manner in which it was executed was wrong. It's true that during production of this episode they had yet to know the fate of the show, but that is proof that when writing a show you should always fill them with some purpose. In the fifth and final season of Atlantis one would think that they would fill it with more substance than " Inquisition offered." Some would also say this was a great chance to reflect on some great adventures that took place over the past five years, I say while it was fun to watch it was a waist of time. As far as flashback episodes go this was a fun one, but it was far from anything we have seen thus far this season.
