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.

I haven't really watched Stargate for years, but I think I will have to download this one. Does it require any prior knowledge? I've seen Wormhole Xtreme!.

I /think/ that will do. There's a few references to bits that have happened in between though natch (so meta it hurts probably sums up the ep quite nicely :)).

Sounds good. I'm still waiting for it to download - seems to be taking an age.

WAS ACE
(am SG1 fan and have watched constantly, well - downloaded past 3 seasons and before that using Sky. And lots of Sky One daily repeats back when they used to share Buffy/SG1 on the primetime repeat-frenzy).

So have patches on eps but mostly good)

I thought the very end was a nice touch. But I would, of course.

Waxing lyrical about the infinite potential of SF would have had more resonance if Stargate actually bothered using SF to make a point these days. :-)

I enjoyed it, particularly the way that every last throwaway line appeared to be a reference to something specific, but it wasn't, like, totally the best thing EVAH.
