Wow what a great episode – and sadly the second last ever for Stargate Atlantis.
From beginning to end this episode had a real CSI feel – and that duelling metal and Johhny Cash Solitary Man soundtracks were just magnificient.
What if John Sheppard’s life had gone just a little different? This episode with him as a down on his luck Vegas cop tracking a killer (aka Wraith) fit perfectly. It’s still Sheppard – just a down on his luck version.
The Wraith with the makeup making his way in Vegas was also awesome – i’ll be doing a double take next time i’m in Vegas to make sure i’m not playing poker against a Wraith.
The funniest line? From McKay when he says well he’s not a Klingon at the Star Trek Experience – cause that closed down a few months ago!!
Sure there are those that will argue that for the second last episode of Stargate Atlantis we should’ve seen a more plot focussed story – I disagree.
This tangent to a parallel universe proves once again that Stargate Atlantis was not a copy of SG-1. Atlantis stands on its own merits. The brilliant story telling of this episode may not necessarily advance the mainline Atlantis story but it is a story that was incredibly entertaining and one of the best episodes in the entire five year run of Stargate Atlantis.
Talk about saving the best for last.
Now all we’ve got left is the final episode –

Shocking. And Shockingly good comic too.
We’ve become big Fans of the New Krypton series – it’s clearly not just business as usual for the man of steel.
The Kryptonian’s have killed humans and that’s a No No – but for some reason Alura (supergirl’s mom) doesn’t seem to care…
But the biggest plot twist of course is the Death of Zor-El – Supergirl’s father. It just seemed so sudden and brutal.
It’s the kind of quick twist that makes this New Krypton series easily one of the best Superman plot line in the last 30 years.
Battlestar Galactica The Face of the Enemy Part 10 Webisode – What the Frak?? January 4, 2009

Apparently Amazon.com frakked up and posted the last few Webisodes of Battlestar Galactica Face of the Enemy – before they were supposed too…good for us – too bad for SciFi.
So as we had expected Gaeta gets rescued – and he sings his song (Gaeta’s Lament). What we didn’t expect though is the body count on the raptor and all the blood all over the place.
Also, we frankly can’t make heads or tails of the end of this webisode – it just doesn’t make sense. Clearly something else is supposed to happen after this – hopefully it ties into Season 5 (officially called Season 4.5) .
Enjoy!

Matt who??? That’s exactly what we said. The BBC has named a virtual nobody to be the next Doctor Who and the 11th Time Lord in the history of the show.
Matt Smith will be the youngest looking Doctor Who ever too.
“David Tennant has made the role his own, brilliantly with grace, talent and persistent dedication,” Smith said in a BBC press release. ” I hope to learn from the standards set by him. The challenge for me is to do justice to the show’s illustrious past, my predecessors and most importantly to those who watch it. I really cannot wait.”
Here’s the full video announcement from the BBC.
