My rather rambling thought on Vegas.
I loved this episode - helped by my love of CSI and love of AUs and the soundtrack. I adored JF in this - not just in the GUH OMG look at the scruff, open shirt and glasses way but in the way he played AU!Shep down on his luck and bitter it was Shep but not.
I liked that Robert Cooper wrote this episode rather than JM etc because I don't think they could have done either the story or shep (or JF for that matter ) justice.
the scene where Shep quit hardly any dialogue - Joe played it fantastically you could see what he was doing. I am not sure that other writers would have allowed the scene to play that way and wouldn't have put dialogue in.
I liked the Rodney in this AU more suave, more people skills, he knew what buttons to push and how to get to John and he was still a genius.
Also Todd - going mad and quoting poetry, (would love to know how they caught Todd) but still had a dynamic with Sheppard.
As for did he live or die at the end, I think he died. it was redemption - for Shep getting back some sense of honour and saving the world perhaps proving that he was the type of person Rodney thought he was.
That said I am not adverse to reading any number of tags that happen to include last minute rescues.
The thing that irritates me as others have said is why did we have to wait until so long to get an ep about Shep and then an AU!Shep at that, and then we know more about him after an hour than in 5 seasons of regular Shep. What is it that makes 'our' Shep so difficult to write about?
Who on earth did Jewels makeup the blue eye shadow a little OTT
One thing about the casting for this - if they are going with 'special cameos' it really helps if you know who they are, I never watched the sopranos the only reason I know they are is because I read in online.
I would like to thank SGFAN for the pictures, especially the ones that appeared in response to the jeans question - very enlightening
You are making me feel peckish here I adore bacon and it has to be HP sauce hmmm
Thank you
I've read some great tags already recced from here -thank you
