I didn't really like the first "Wormhole Xtreme episode". I just didn't find it funny.
But this one was different, and it got me hooked from the very beginning.
The only thing I was a little confused about was the swearing. It seemed a little bit out of place, or perhaps those scenes really did reflect the reality of the SG-1 set?
Overall, I was very happy with this episode, especially as I was very disappointed with the one that came before it!

As ever, the crew that write Stargate SG-1 are on top form to poke fun at themselves and other related shows with gracious aplomb in their ever original way.
I thought it was a neat plot point to have Vala contribute her ideas. The casting for that had, for me, echo's of Trek's Next Gen episode where Worf cries: 'I am not a merry man!'
However, for all the interplay and fun throughout the story I was sorely disappointed and let down with the ending. To some extent I expected more and much better. On some level it may work and Peter DeLuise is so good at what he does but as far as I am concerned, on first watching, it missed the mark.
It was a suitable change of pace from the main story arc and again I stress for me, worked right up to the last ten minutes or so. If I've missed the point of it, please let me know as I only saw it once.

Wow, the reviews here are either 1's or 10's, a very devicive episode indeed! This is probably their best episode, and probably one of the best sci-fi episodes ever. This doesn't just parody sci-fi shows, it parodies the entire TV production process. BTW, if you're not familar the shows parodied or the production references, a lot of the humor might be lost on you. And be sure to make it to the end for one of my favorite Asimov quote's.
While a fun concept of parodies hidden inside parodies, there's a lot going on and it's just a bit confusing. Could have been done better. Fun fourth wall breaks.
Thanks, I hated it. It is totally out of context, doesn't fit the storyline and rather confusing. It's like screenwriters getting high on something throwing in all kind of loosely associated stuff at random.
Writer 1- Hey! Let's make a.... (-smokes a joint-) .... parody! (-passes the joint-)
Writer 2- Yea, mix in, like, that other tv-serie Ben Browder is in!
Writer 1- Dope! And then ... let's blend in some Star Trek and Wizard of Oz!
Writer 2- Yea, and make the characters from marionette figures!
WTF??

- TriviaIn the SGC destruction scene, Sgt. Siler (Dan Shea) goes into the gateroom to manually cut off the power. He receives a jolt of electricity that throws him across the room and into the blast door. As he sits up, he asks "Why does this always happen to me?" This is because Shea is the stunt coordinator for the show, so suffice it to say, he gets most of the gratuitous stunt scenes.
- Quotes
Douglas Anders: Science fiction is an existential metaphor that allows us to tell stories about the human condition. Isaac Asimov once said, "Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinded critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, its essence, has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all."
