SGA 5x19: Vegas

Jan 10, 2009 14:42

Well, it started as a parody of CSI: Original Flava. It turned into...well, I don't even know what.

Let me just see if I understand this: in order for reality to be saved, we require a Loser!Shep to shoot up a Wraith in the desert and then die.

However, Camo!Wraith managed to rip a hole in space-time and...what? Send a message through ALL OTHER REALITIES telling the Wraith, or Wraith-equivalents, where Earth is.

Meaning...that this completely random and bizarre AU actually has bearing on the finale. Whut?

This reminds me of 'Through A Mirror Darkly' at the end of Enterprise. Except that TAMD was the crowning glory of Enterprise in its sorry little run and this was...well, not a worthy penultimate ep.

The TMI Cam and the CSI-style direction were cute but waaaaay overused and the tie-in to Mrs Miller (was it that AU?) was also quite nice.

However, I'm just...a little underwhelmed. I really hope the finale can do the show justice.

review, atlantis
