Spoiler info on season finale of Stargate Atlantis

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 think it's fitting - given this fandom's love of AUs (present company respectfully excepted) - that the PtB join in the fun. It is annoying that they picked the only Sheppard-centric ep to do so though. At least Joe should get some decent screen time. :)

I just hope it's not cliche ridden. It could be done well, but well... I keep thinking of the 100th and 200th episodes of SG1, which, yech...

True. At least, going by the pictures only, it doesn't appear to be a spoof or done for comic relief. I thought Cooper could have done more with Doppelganger, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

It may sound sad, but I have low expectations of this episode, which is actually good, as then I hope to be pleasantly surprised by the end result. Alas, in the past I have high hopes just dashed by "That's all??" with episodes...

I think that's what happened with me and Doppelganger. Loved the last 10 minutes, but spent the rest of the episode wondering why Sheppard was standing around smirking.

I keep thinking how they could have made that such a good psychological thriller... (Doppelganger, that is)
