 deseretnews.com | A new 'Stargate' opens
Higginson, who was born in Ontario, believes that Weir and Sheppard "have great respect for each other, because their hearts are in the same place." It's just that because he has a military background, his tendency would be to "just blow stuff up," she says.
Higginson was a fan of "Star Trek: The Next Generation," and kept a trading card of Patrick Stewart, the star of the series, on her refrigerator.
Higginson, who likes the fact that science fiction allows open treatment of sensitive political issues, sees a widespread appeal in the Atlantis myth, especially considering the "very selfish culture" we live in.

Heading the new team initially are diplomat Dr. Elizabeth Weir (Torri Higginson, "The City"), and Col. Marshall Sumner (Robert Patrick, "The X-Files").
Higginson does a fine job as the tough supervisor, and Flanigan, serving to a lighter touch, is a fine counterpart for her.
Although the advance DVD is a rough cut with many temporary visual effects, it's clear that a lot of fine work went into the design of "Atlantis." There's a cool outer-space pursuit and, inevitably, a close encounter with an attractive, capable female leader representing the human culture on one of the new planets.

A spinoff of the long-running science fiction series Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis utilized the earlier series' basic premise--that millions of Stargate "portals" exist throughout the galaxy, through which aliens from alternate universes can pass into ours and vice versa--to introduce a whole new set of characters and circumstances.
In the two-part opener of Stargate Atlantis' first season, scientist Dr. Elizabeth Weir (Torri Higginson) organizes a new Stargate team to journey through a newly discovered "time portal" and explore the lost city of Atlantis--not on earth, but somewhere in the Pegasis Gallery.
As it turns out, the wondrous city is populated by a polyglot of beings who'd been lost in space, including a few Earthlings.
