Stargate insanity

[iainjclark]

Oh god. I've seen photos from tonight's 200th episode of the entertaining-yet-meh Stargate SG-1.

I may never scrub my mind clean. And now, neither may you.



And as if it's not bad enough that they've imported half the cast of Farscape, now they're doing homages.







It's the Wizard of Oz pic that's truly disturbing me. Apparently the 'plot' involves the characters pitching ideas for a spin-off movie based on the fake SG-1 style show Wormhole Xtreme.

Needless to say it looks deeply, deeply silly.

"Heroes", a two-parter with Saul Rubinek as an annoying journalist doing a piece on the Stargate Program. It starts out looking like one of those stories where an outsider views the regular characters, but ends up being a quite heartfelt story about news journalism and freedom of speech. It's patchy, but it gets steadily better as it goes along and I was quite impressed by it. Then again, it's hands down the most ambitious thing SG-1 has put out in at least five years, so the benchmark is low.

Oh, I remember that one (I do watch SG-1 as a rule); I really liked it. The second ep was definitely better than the first, but lie you say, as a pair, they worked much better than almost any other "message" episode that SG-1 has tried.
