Storyline

On General Jack O'Neil's personal recommendation, his -unwilling- former SG-1 mates are ordered to advise Hollywood production executive Martin 'Marty' Lloyd on a 'slightly ridiculous' version of the Stargate operations. The brainstorming proves rather unsatisfactory for both sides, despite repeated recourse to personal -often self-flattering- imagination and various real experiences, so the team members are relieved when General Landry calls them, as promised, for a mission, but just then the Gate breaks down temporarily. Marty also gets discomforting phone calls, and even more preposterous alternatives are considered, 'til an apparent "deus ex machina" appears...

User Reviews

Well acted; Excellent Parodies but I felt the ending fell flat after all the fun.

As ever, the crew that write Stargate SG-1 are on top form to poke fun at themselves and other related shows with gracious aplomb in their ever original way.

I thought it was a neat plot point to have Vala contribute her ideas. The casting for that had, for me, echo's of Trek's Next Gen episode where Worf cries: 'I am not a merry man!'

However, for all the interplay and fun throughout the story I was sorely disappointed and let down with the ending. To some extent I expected more and much better. On some level it may work and Peter DeLuise is so good at what he does but as far as I am concerned, on first watching, it missed the mark.

It was a suitable change of pace from the main story arc and again I stress for me, worked right up to the last ten minutes or so. If I've missed the point of it, please let me know as I only saw it once.
