Outline (Season 03)

This season concentrates on more character driven stories.

Along with new insight on the characters, the expedition discovers a new threat, one that could be the precursor to the Replicators.

Some important characters leave the series in this season, and the fate of Atlantis once again is in the hands of the humans from Earth.

Outline (Episode)

Everyone starts to see ghosts of Lanteans, caused by echoes being emitted by whale-like creatures converging on the city from the planet’s ocean.

When side effects begin to occur, McKay discovers that the Ancients tried to teach the whales their language, and that the whales are trying to warn them about a natural disaster that endangers all life on the planet.
