SHOOTING STARS: 'Stargate: Atlantis' orbits Planet Hollywood

To some, Las Vegas already qualifies as an alternate universe, complete with alien life-forms.

But “Stargate: Atlantis” puts that description into practice at Planet Hollywood, spending Monday and Tuesday in front of the casino, inside the casino — and on the roof, where a stunt player will perform a nine-story fall.

CLICK On link for rest, and be warned, contains SPOILERS for the season finale (EDIT: oops, almost season finale, episode right in front... although half the time when TPTB talk about it they talk about both together as if they're ilnked)
 
 

I' not a fond of 'alternate reality' episodes, no more than holodeck episodes in Trek, because it's a waste. You don't get anything in the reality of the show, just a fantasy... and an homage (er, rip-off) of CSI as well. So does this mean Teyla's gonna be a showgirl or a hooker? Aieee....

I thought the finale wasn't Vegas, Vegas is 519, isn't it? I know they said that the last two episodes would be 'tangentially related,' but I don't think that means the finale is AU.

I think I know how they got it mixed up, though--they filmed the finale in the 19 spot and Vegas in the 20 spot because of the extra filming in Nevada, so because it was filmed last, the reporters probably assumed that was the finale.

In any case, I'm definitely looking forward to this, alternate reality or no--it means they'll do things that they'd never have done in the actual canon of the show (such as kill off characters, or have them hook up). Plus, I can dream, right--if John isn't military, there isn't DADT to worry about. That's enough for me, a canon version of an AU where John's not military? YES PLEASE.

Though, damnit, I'm writing an AU where he's a detective, heh.

And, oh GOD, please don't let them be stupid enough to demean Teyla's character like that...

Yup, 519. Made a correction (can't do it during work hours). What's DADT??

As for Teyla, yes, let's hope if she does appear, it's not as a stripper turned CSI ;)

I'm assuming that DADT means 'Don't ask, don't tell'...

Ah, okay.
