[QUOTE=CandidGamera] Probably missed a lot of the self referential stuff, but the Puppets and Star Trek and Farscape bits were great, as was Teal’c, P.I. [/QUOTE] Indeed. 😉 It probably won’t be on over here for ages, but someone’s got the entire episode up on YouTube in seperate sections. I loved it. The Farscape parody was just genius. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=cerberus] 🙂 **Fargate** … that’s good. [/QUOTE] I like **Fartrek: SG1**. _“On screen! Shields at maximum! Get ready to transport!” “Captain, a dust mote hit the shields and now we’ve lost the hyperdrive! Shields at 30%!” “Divert power from life-support to shields. Carter, get that hyperdrive back on-line! Prepare for emergency transport!” “Transporters are off-line too!” “Weapons?” “Off-line, duh.” “Communications?” “What do you think?” “Damn dust motes! Evasive action!”_ It’s all fun. ---

Giant wrench? What’s that about? I didn’t like the Walter – quick change bit. That broke the fourth wall in a big way (because it was clear that the end was supposed to be Stargate-real and not Stargate-movie). What was the bit that Walter whispered about a cake and celebration? ---

[QUOTE=Finagle] Giant wrench? What’s that about? [/QUOTE] In the early seasons, the eagle-eyed viewer could occasionally spot some SGC technician or such, way in the background of a scene, usually for just a second or two, holding or carrying (I don’t think it was ever seen actually being used, but I could wrong) a giant wrench. Giant as in about three feet long. Said wrench was never referred to or commented on by any character, it was just a little joke that DeLouise and Co. pulled once in a while. I admit that I probably never would have noticed the wrench if I hadn’t listened to the DVD commentaries and heard them point it out now and again. Still, it kind of got to be a little “wink and a nod” to the viewers, so I figured it would just HAVE to show up in the 200th episode. But I guess not. Maybe someone lost it . . . ---

The SG1 mailing lists I’m on have exploded this afternoon. Apparently, the show is being cancelled. There are letter writing campaigns being mounted. ---

I don’t think it is. The Stargate: SG-1 GAME was cancelled, but the show still gets really good ratings, I don’t think they’d cancel it. ---

A Sci Fi press official did not respond to an e-mail inquiry sent over the weekend. That’s the part that sucks. I’ve been expecting it to get canceled for a couple seasons now, but pulling a Farscape on it really pisses off the fans. They should at least be allowed to quickly put together a series finale. Oh, well. At least we still have ECW. Now _that’s_ some fine Sci Fi fare. ---

[/QUOTE] Well hopefully the writers have enough notice to give SG1 a dignified conclusion. :rolleyes: Of course depending how it’s doing in syndication MGM could keep making episodes, but syndication runs a year behind SciFi. I wonder if the Gate program (not necessarily Atlantis) will become public knowledge in the last few episoded? I’ve always wanted to see that. ---

Could they at least, for the love of God, please promote “Walter”?! He’s probably the longest serving MSGT in the USAF in recent history. He should be a Chief MSGT by now, at least a Senior MSGT. Poor guy, SG-1 sprouts Lieutenant Colonels and Generals like there’s no tomorrow, but they can’t bring “Walter” up to E-8 or E-9 from E-7. Sucks to be Walter. ---

Okay, that’s it! First I don’t become aware of the quality of the show Firefly until the movie Sernity is made and I love it. I go out and buy the package on DVD to make up lost time. Then, I become aware of a program called Farscape and catch a few episodes. I think “hey this is pretty decent I think I’ll… WHAT?” CRAP! Well, I see that some of the people from Farscape have come on-board with Stargate, a show I hadn’t been watching. Well, the 200th is coming up and it looks good. I’ll catch a few episodes to try to get up on what’s what before it comes on. The other night I catch it and think it was good. Pretty funny stuff. So’s, I thinks to myself “Well, I guess I’ll do some catching up and start watching Stargate.” WHAT?? SonnuvaBITCH! That’s it. I’ve had with this crap. ---
