SHOOTING STARS: 'Stargate: Atlantis' orbits Planet Hollywood

To some, Las Vegas already qualifies as an alternate universe, complete with alien life-forms.
But “Stargate: Atlantis” puts that description into practice at Planet Hollywood, spending Monday and Tuesday in front of the casino, inside the casino — and on the roof, where a stunt player will perform a nine-story fall.
As fans of the Sci-Fi Channel hit know, the show ends its run following its 100th episode in January. Its 99th, however, brings commander John Sheppard (Joe Flanigan, right) to Las Vegas — in “an alternate reality story” set on “a slightly askew version of Earth,” explains executive producer Robert Cooper, writer-director of the made-in-Vegas episode.
Rather than becoming a space pilot, Sheppard “ended up as a homicide detective in this reality,” Cooper notes. He’s investigating a serial murder case — and trying to find an enemy Wraith (played by guest star Neil Jackson) who’s “hiding himself in Las Vegas” and, disguised by makeup, “blends in quite well.”
The Wraith, Cooper reports, even ends up playing high-stakes poker with a couple of familiar faces: “Sopranos” veterans Steve Schirripa and Frank Vincent.
Overall, the episode is intended as “a bit of an homage” to another Vegas show, “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.”
Cooper describes it as “stylistically similar to ‘CSI,’ " noting that “if you tuned in late, you might think you had turned on the wrong show.”
Except, that is, for all those members of the “Stargate: Atlantis” universe hanging around.
“Fortunately,” Cooper observes, “when you work in science fiction, you can pretty much do anything.”
