Just re-watched it, for the first time in a while. I think it's okay for a wannabe episode - wannabe CSI-ish, or the Outer Limits. I might appreciate the ep more if it were from one of those series. But, I was watching SGA. This isn't an episode I plan on viewing again any time soon.

Why not they have a new series : "Stargate CSI: Vegas"?
I like to see Drs. Keller, Zelenka, and Beckett work in lab team as Sam Carter, Ronon and Evan would be detectives.

I watched it again little while back. It still didn't do it for me. I can sure still appreciate them trying something new, but it's just an episode about a bunch of people I don't know on a planet I don't know doing things that I wasn't quite able to follow as well as I'd like. How was it exactly that John figured out where to go in the end again? The characters may look like the ones we knew but they aren't much like them. I hardly know anything about them or how they got the points they were at. So there's' really only so much I can care about characters I just met.
I wasn't crazy about the pacing either. It felt like there was so much time building up the mystery (which wasn't surprising given you had to establish an entirely new setting to have it in too) that actually solving it was anti-climactic."First Weir, then Samantha Carter, and now, you! It's a pity you humans die or get reassigned so easily, or I might have a sense of satisfaction now!"
*You got the touch! You got the poweeeeer!*
"Arise, Woolseyus Prime."
"Elizabeth..."

This epsiode was unbelievably amazing!
I was hooked from the opening: the hot desert sun, cowboy music and a red sports car!
And plenty of goodness followed: heavy metal wraith, the poker scene, Johnny Cash, alternates for many of our favourite characters.
The best television shows make genre-crossing episodes like this. The musical episode for Buffy was one of the best episodes of all time.
Indeed up until this moment, I thought that Stargate was incapable of achieving the same sweeping variety of Doctor Who: I now see that the producers were simply never brave enough until "Vegas." (Of course judging by the attacks on this episode in this thread, I can see why the producers stuck to a narrow range of story genres throughout fifteen seasons.)

On another note, I actually enjoyed this episode completely despite my normal tastes. I do not enjoy crime drama very much, I much prefer classical music to rock, gambling does not interest me and I usually hate any stories about the mob and Vegas.
This episode was Stargate through and through for me. All the cars, music, cards and rocker fashion simply made for a truly unique Stargate story, for a redolant atmosphere and fascinating background.

It was a so so episode...
+ sexy wraiths back
+ solitary man
+ cool metal music
+ Todd being a poet
+ Todd looking totally cute in his prisonersuit
- very confusing. No introduction, no follow up, nothing.
- It has nothing to do with the ep before and the ep after it. It's just a random episode wich they pasted into the show because they didn't know any better
- the storyline was rather boring sometimes. I wanted to press the forward button a couple of timeOn your knees human!! *hiss*

But they could have given it a better plot, have more involvement with Atlantis than just mentioning that McKay knew an AU Sheppard.
But I like how they fitted it to CSI so well, giving us a taste of their lives had things gone a different way.
It's one of my favourite eps on S5Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional.
Wonderful signatures by wonderful people.(Not me thus =] )
