Stargate's 200th: An Orgy of Geekiness

Wright and Cooper Love Us

Unlike Berman and Braga... no.... I'm going to stay positive.

I have never felt so much love for sci-fi fans EVER!!!! The cast and CREW of Stargate SG1 went above and beyond anything ever done in the history of the genre.

If you missed last night's 200th episode of Stargate: SG1, first slap your self... no really, I'll wait....
then beg, borrow or steal a copy of the episode AND the behind-the-scenes episode.

******A HASMATA OF SPOILERS********
First, in the behind-the-scenes episode, we go on a journey with Gary Jones (Technician/Sergeant Walter Davis). He's stalking everyone to find out if he's in the 200th episode. That is hilarious. I have a special place in my heart for Gary's character. He's been there so long, he's funny and even though he has a small part it's a great part.
What more can you expect from a behind-the-scenes episode? There was a lot of laughing and a lot of hijinks.

The 200th Episode:
We open by seeing the Furlings which strangely look like Ewoks. Apparently this alien race has been referred to several times throughout the series. I don't recall this alien race being mentioned but there was a huge fan curiosity about seeing these creatures.
We got zombies, someone wanted to know how many times T'ealc said 'Indeed', The Wizard of Oz, Farscape, Star Trek, they did puppets, they blew up Cheyenne Mountain, Sam and Jack got married... it was an orgy of geekiness.

My least favorite part was the behind-the-scenes with the cast of the TV show based on Stargate called Wormhole Extreme. More time should have been spent everywhere else but that's just a nitpick.

The show was awesome and a real treat.


Can't say the same for Stargate: Atlantis. I've seen this episode so many times; Buffy, Deep Space Nine, etc. Hell, I even think they did something similar in the first season of Atlantis. The best part was Jack O'Neil.
