I agree with Joe and David - Vegas should have been the last episode of the show - it would have left the door open for a new series when SGU bombed.

Everyone says it's an homage to CSI - I don't watch CSI, so that didn't occur to me. I just loved how 'different' and edgy and tightly scripted it was. I loved that the episode took the characters in different directions and let them stretch their acting wings a little. I loved how damaged Shep was, and how confident Rodney was. I love how they're both still heroes at the core.

I love how they have this instant jolt of recognition/connection when they meet.

The part where Rodney throws the Spearmint gum down on the table? Still gives me goosebumps.

I'll post this at McShep_Monday, too, but this is one of my favorite Vegas stories, because it holds true to the episode. The writing is spare and beautiful, and the characters remain in character - plus, it's hot as hell. *g*

Thanks again for sharing the link to the fic.

I love how they're both still heroes at the core...I love how they have this instant jolt of recognition/connection when they meet.

THIS! The recognition angle can be played so many different ways... my brain hurts just thinking about it (but it's a good hurt). Really, just a resounding YES! to everything you've said here.
