I'm an Australian living in Brisbane, which is in the bottom east of Queensland, the state at the top east of Australia. I have been a fan of Stargate since the start of its transmission here in Australia. Who could resist a series based on that movie with Kurt Russel and James Spader. Obviously any spin-off had to be given a chance, and Stargate Atlantis has proved a worthy companion. While Australia lags way behind on the transmission of Atlantis at the moment, it is possible to keep current with the assistance of the excellent gateworld.net.
