Lots of Parodies

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.
