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!

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.

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.
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.
Although this episode was bittersweet due to the cancellation announcement, it was hilarious with lots of parodies that touched on many great Sci-fi shows. It does touch on a previous episode (#12 of Season 5), it is chalked full of potential outcomes and fantasies of the SG-1 team. Speaking of the cancellation, there is a ground swell effort going on to save the show (www.SaveStargateSG1.com). After watching this or any episodes, I would hope that you agree that the show is worth saving. Over the years it has relied on historical and scientific facts as basis for the writing and stimulated the mind to think "what if?". If you have not seen Show #200, seek it out and do so. This episode alone would be enjoyed by someone who has never watched the show.

- 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."
