'Vegas' (519) General Discussion

[hivewarden]

Oh, and I didn't think McKay was more obnoxious or more important than John. Sheppard was obviously the focus along with his conflict with the Wraith. McKay and the others were the connection back to Atlantis, so it was McKay's job to provide the exposition to tie the two worlds together. I think he was supposed to be humorless and very professional. Annoying yes, but in a totally different way than Rodney.

totally agree

This episode actually got me onto Johnny Cash, I am yet to decide whether thats a good thing

Ha, that is a very good thing indeed. I've been a long time Neil Diamond fan also and to have Solitary Man performed by Cash was just icing on the cake. I love it when fandoms collide. Throwing JF into the mix was almost too much. But in a good way.

Whenever that songs comes on in my car (from my iPod) I always look over to the passenger seat to see if there's a bag full of cash on it. Someday.........

Well, cash or John. I'm not picky.

I thought you meant Johnny Cash there until I noticed "cash" was not capitalized. LOL I must say I'm a bit relieved.

How much cash?

LOL! No, I'm not hoping to join him in the great beyond anytime soon.

How much money did John have with him in the car? Was it $30,000? That's a nice number. But like I said, I'm not picky... I'll take John Sheppard instead.

That Wraith was lucky. If he ended up in Montecito, Ed Deline would of kicked him out of the casino for winning too much!

I've D/L'ed all the non-original music from the episode, on the basis of its appearance. Superb soundtrack.

This is one of my favorite all time SGA episodes.
I just loved it, the music, the mood,the Wraith-so lost and lonely in this different world,the AU Sheppard and McKay-so different from the ones we know and love but in the end John still comes through and saves the day-even as a small-time down on his luck detective, who was close to making off with all that cash.
And this McKay so arrogant and condecending to poor Zelenka-Rodney needs John around to help him grow and humanize him.
Some were dissapointed that Ronan and Teyla were not in this one-and I'm always glad to see them-but I tend to think that in this universe Ronan and Teyla may not have even been part of the team.
After all, it was Sheppard who befriended Ronan on base and encouraged him to stay- and fought for him to stay
"We could use a guy like you."
And it was John who befriended Teyla and the Athosians and brought them back to Atlantis against Sumner's and even
Elizabeths initial objections.
For me a great episode, great acting,a keeper for me.

I really loved this episode. For me it was like a bowl of fresh air in season 5 (sorry didn't really liked this season).
JF was really really good in it. He really gave some dimensions to this scarred John.
I loved the pace, the music, the acting with the personnage very different from the ones we know but similar in other ways.

it's 9:47 eastern time... still 10 minutes left... but Vegas is a very large reason why i am GLAD that Atlantis has been cancelled...

boring, dull, no sense that its a "Stargate" episode, let alone a Stargate show... and since its not "our" reality i find no interest in how it turns out...

WTF man Vegas was like the best ep of SGA yet

You might not like it but there are people out there that don't like this episode one bit - me included.

This particular episode has that particular rep for being either loved or hated with nothing in between.

The only reason i loved it is because it gets away from things like the Stargate and Atlantis it was ruined by that 13 second scene with the weapons platform and that is a reason why i love SGU so much cus there is little to no off world activity

For me a reason to hate it because it was a futile attempt at being something it was not - they tried CSI and forgot about Atlantis. I liked the musical choices though - probably the only I liked. And the Wraith... him too.
