200

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.

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.

Beyond the fact that this is a hysterical breaking of the fourth wall, it is funny.

Also, Claudia Black is gorgeous.

I'm supposed to add more context to my the requirements for a real review.

I feel so stupid, is a major spoiler.

I'm mad in love with Claudia Black.

I know a lot of Stargate fans love the episodes that mocks the show but unfortunately, I am not one of them.

This 200th anniversary episode is though much better than the 100th "Wormhole extreme" which I more or less hated.

Even if they are not breaking the fourth wall per se, they do it through the different skits that makes up this episode.

I would like skip these episodes on a rewatch of the whole series.

I spent several grueling hours trying to figure out who played "Scotty" in the "Star Trek" parody scene of StarGate's episode "200". The face was very familiar but I just couldn't put a name with it. IMDb to the rescue! A quick IMDb search revealed it was Brad Wright, beloved writer and producer of StarGate, who was so funny in the role of "Scotty". The writers are the brains behind all the excitement and even the wit we viewers attribute to the main cast of actors. While the acting talents of the stars make the show great, the writers are the puppet masters. Alfred Hitchcock, master of the camera lens to create tension in the viewer, made a cameo appearance in all of his films. The StarGate writers/producers are every bit as good as Hitchcock with a bonus of being even more charismatic than Hitchcock when on screen. We have seen all these guys in the "behind the scenes" productions and even in the "extras" features on the StarGate DVDs. I would love to see more StarGate cameo roles of the writers and producers as would many fans.
