Stargate Atlantis: Vegas

This is officially my new favorite photo from Stargate Atlantis.  How hot (for you ladies) or cool (for you guys) does Sheppard look in this pic?

Sheppard, John Sheppard

“Sheppard, John Sheppard”

Stargate Atlantis: “Vegas” Part One and Two

Air Date: Friday, January 2 at 9:00 on SCI FI

And here’s how it goes. . .

Police find a desiccated corpse on a desert road outside Las Vegas, Nevada, the seventh victim of a bizarre serial killer. Detective John Sheppard, called in to assist, is baffled by these murders. Then a clue, traces of radiation found on the bodies, leads him to a strange looking man with super human attributes who easily evades capture.

Some time later, Sheppard is detained and driven to Area 51. There he meets Dr. Rodney McKay who reveals that the suspect is, in fact, an alien – a wraith – who feeds on human energy. What’s more, McKay and his team have traveled to Earth from the Pegasus Galaxy, by way of a stargate, to prevent this wraith from compromising the security of the planet. But so far, Sheppard is the only one who’s been able to get close to him.

Did I mention that I have a DVD of this episode in my hot little hands?  I’ll have a teaser review for you soon of this and the series finale (sob). You wouldn’t want me to give too much away now, would you?

I will however, offer you more photos after the jump.

    as for the one in the actual chase, it sounds like Ozzie Ozbourne if i remember correctly. the name is not known, but i am sure i hear it a party rescently

  2. By Sonch Wideman

    the song people are wondering about in the Vegas episode is Pleased to meet you – by the Rolling Stones………

    Hmmm I still cant find it, ive had a look at everyones suggestions n investigated them, but im still not hearing the right metalicy music when he starts tlkin… And its the guitar riffs, they just dont match, tho CC that was the closest result ive seen yet.

    Id hate it if it wasnt a group, n was specially composed. But I believe that its prob a under-rated band, n thats where its from… Or a really famous metal band, which we are not aware of lol!

    I’m not sure of this, but the chase song really sounded like a song by Tea Party (a fantastic Canadian group) called “Writing’s On The Wall”. You can find the video on youtube, so someone please go listen and tell me if this is it!

    Ok, after waiting to see if it would be found here, (the chase music), it going to be found something like this. It is created similarily to how the Supremacy music was done by John Powell (though NOT him). You may notice how it simply repeats itself and never really develops past midway,,, I suppose it was strange how (as cool as Powell’s music was he was not mainstream or, well not mainstream) his music took a while to surface and never progressed pass production. The credits for EP 19 somewhere eventually, or the producer may reveal it. So it is not a “group” that will be found trying to promote itself. Regret currently providing no answer.

    Hmm…google is not finding anything on those lyrics…

  7. By Grover

    Just before the wraith jumps, I can make out these lyrics:

    Climb high, gonna take it away
    I can take it, I can take it awayyyy

  8. By Ro

    I don’t think the songs are by Tempest and Something Dark and Sinister, as Dave the wraith said. I cannot imagine they’d use a song so unknown that google or last.fm (or anything for that matter) cannot find…especially since they used MM and Johny Cash and Rolling Stones, all big immortal names…Damn I wanna know!! ^_^

  9. By Red

    What sort of sunglasses is Sheppard sporting in this episode?

  10. By Loki

    Is that really the song played during the chase?

    “Something Dark and Sinister – Rattled Bones”??? I have been searching the net for this song!!!

    see my youtube vid http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=XPtyiJrTK9Q

    Hey, anyone know what’s the music in the scene where the guy suffering from radiation poisoning is making that phone call?

  12. By Linus

    Dave The Wraith,
    do you have an idea where i could find the track “Rattled Bones” by Something Dark and Sinister

  13. By Dave the wraith

    The gambling music is Pokerface by Tempest
    and the chase music is Rattled Bones by Something Dark and Sinister

  14. By Weiss

    Hey! HEY! the music when he chases the gambler,,, anyone know, this question will go on?

  15. By Goldarn

    Joe Flanigan did play a detective in one episode of “Birds of Prey.”

  16. By bart

    the wraith in this episode that Sheppard is following is the same actor as the one who played khalek in the prototype in SG1 the other wraith in prison is todd from previous SGA episode

  17. By Gruf

    I felt this episode was just another ho hum melo drama that is Atlantis. Sure it had the ooh ah slow mo’s and the nifty camera angle, but it just didn’t have any pop. Mind you SGAhasnt had much pop for quite a while.. Bring on dollhouse!

  18. By Paco

    I am a guy and I find him hot

  19. By myspace.com/shah3476

    There was a song that played before the wraith chase scene, it was when they were playing cards maybe? Anyone know what it was? I want to use it for some stuff

  20. By Karen

    Can anyone tell me who played the wraith on the Vegas episode? He looked very familiar.

    Thanks!
