Primary
Stargate: Atlantis maintains a neutral stance by balancing themes of military necessity and human ingenuity with ethical considerations regarding intervention and the importance of diplomacy, focusing primarily on apolitical themes of survival and exploration.
Stargate: Atlantis features a visibly diverse main cast with significant non-white characters in prominent roles. The narrative generally maintains a neutral or positive portrayal of traditional identities, without explicit critique or central DEI themes, integrating its diverse cast within an adventure-focused science fiction setting.
Secondary
The show features Teyla Emmagan, an Athosian warrior, who frequently engages in and wins close-quarters physical combat against multiple male adversaries, including Wraith and Genii soldiers, using her martial arts and staff.
Stargate: Atlantis does not feature any explicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The show maintains a heteronormative framework, resulting in no identifiable portrayal of queer identity.
Stargate: Atlantis features a new primary cast and continues characters from Stargate SG-1, all maintaining their established genders. There are no instances of characters from prior Stargate canon or historical figures being portrayed with a different gender.
Stargate: Atlantis features characters original to the series or consistent with their prior portrayals in the Stargate universe. No established characters from earlier Stargate iterations or source material were recast with actors of a different race.
