I completely agree - over the 10 years of SG1 they've given us so many brilliant storylines, it's been fantastic. And because it's been so great for so long, it really deserves to have a brilliant ending. Like you said, it deserves to go out with a bang or something.
I also REALLY hope that Atlantis doesn't change for the worse when SG1 ends.
I can't picture any of the SG1 team members intergrating well into Atlantis. There are already so many main cast members - McKay, Sheppard, Ronon, Teyla, Weir and Beckett - and then there is also the regular minor characters (Zelenka, Lorne etc) and I want to see more of them - not less. It just wouldn't make sense for an SG1 character to go to Atlantis and not have a large input, so I fear that at least one of the Atlantis characters is going to be shafted to make way... I hope I'm wrong though...
That said, I do think it could be really interesting to see Atlantis cut off from Earth again (so that they need to find their own resources). The Wraith and the Replicators are both so bad (and there don't seem to be many other advanced worlds in the Pegasus Galaxy) so it's getting to that point where any government would seriously have to consider whether the risks of being the Pegasus Galaxy outweigh the benefits. I think Atlantis could be really interesting if they were stranded on their own again.
Wow, it looks like I'm rambling here now!! I think I'll stop! In conclusion - Atlantis rocks and they should leave my pretty show alone! :D
