"200" was the most fun episode of Stargate SG-1 out there.
To understand the concept of this episode, one has to get into where the show came from. Robert Cooper said on the behind the scenes of the episode that the 200th episode was approaching the writers room. In his mind, he wanted either a regular episode hyped up or they could go so over the top, it would be beyond farcical. He actually wanted a regular episode hyped up. The problem became when he asked a very simple question: "Who is going to write it?" At that point, it became what we see today.
The array of movies, TV shows it parodies is just beyond wow. I'm not going to go into them (check out the reference section), but they forgot one glaring omission.
Martin - "What scene are we up to?" Teal'c - "Scene 24." Martin - "My favorite!"
For a bunch of sci-fi nerds, they sure included the Monty Python: The Quest for the Holy Grail.
I will concede the ending was kinda weak, but I thought it was great how they incorporated the "Wormhole: Xtreme" cast that we saw in the 100th episode. I love the final quote by Douglas Anders. I believe it is what sci-fi truly is.
