Stargate Atlantis and STAR TREK
Lately I've been on a STAR TREK watching binge, specifically STAR TREK Deep Space Nine and in particular the Mirror Universe episodes. I loves those and became a huge fan of the DS9 ones when I read an interview Nana Visitor (DS9's Major Kira) in STAR TREK Magazine about how she loved playing such a complete opposite to her regular Kira self.
Anyways, when I was watching the first DS9 Mirror episode, Season 2's "Crossover", and working on my SGA fanfic, my mind wandered a little and I started imagining the Trek characters as Atlantis characters. For some reason my mind put Teyla as Kira, I guess I'd be fascinated to see an Intendant/Dark Mirror Teyla Emmagan, one who embraced her Wraith DNA wholeheartedly and every sociopathic Wraith tendency that comes with it. I also thought of Sisko as Woolsey rather than Sheppard, mostly because I think Mirror Sisko is so totally not non-Mirror Woolsey and it'd be fun and interesting to see how that sort of laughing and manical Woolsey would be to see. In my mind, Garak is Todd the Wraith and Odo is Ronon. "Smiley" O'Brien is Radek "Zebra" Zelenka. Quark is Ladon Radim or perhaps Kolya or maybe even one of the Pegasus Asgard(haven't decided that one yet). The Earth humans are the slaves. Atlantis is Terok Nor. The Klingon/Cardassian Alliance is the Genii/Wraith Alliance and the Bajorans are the Athosians. With something so screwed-up diverse, I think that potential in SGA would be incredibly fascinating. It's certainly been fun watching the episode and putting SGA characters in it in my head. Good Teyla Emmagan encountering Intendant Teyla Emmagan, Holy Cow! How would good Teyla react to seeing herself like that? What would that be like?
If you have the episode, I ask you to watch it and make tell me what you think. Kind of cool huh?

So who do you think would be Starbuck? My first idea would be Sheppard, but then who's Apollo if he's Starbuck the Playboy? I'm diggin' this.
