lots of incoherent thoughts on SG-1's 200th episode "200"

The Furlings were cute but the real madness begins with:
MITCHELL: Okay, for starters, I think you need a strong opening sequence.
MARTIN: (scoffing) Are you serious? No one does that anymore. You just throw up the title and get on with it.
(cut to 5sec Opening Credits)

from all the little skits no 1 takes Vala in her incredulous outfit and Mitchell fishing in Moebius.
Tealc PI is 2nd best.

Mitchell with zombies however silly the scene, he never looked so *good* on this show.

also the Star Trek spoof was funny mainly for the outfits, esp Tealc's.
oh and the wedding scene was great even if only for Sam's giddy look at the very end.

didn't like the Farscape spoof that much, would've preferred if they had stayed away from Crichton and Aeryn and just had D'Argo!Teal'c and Sam!Chiana there. but it was cool they did it, thus acknowledging its awesomeness, heh.

all in all, wasn't that impressed with it, but they sure as hell had fun making it!
however, Wormhole X-Treme wasn't my favorite either, so...

I gotta admit though, I don't think I'll *ever* forget their audacious Wizard of Oz spoof! so good.
and puppet!Daniel's scribbling was off-the-wall silly!
and well, Cheyenne Mountain blowing up was for the promos...

oh and Walter finally gets to go through the gate.
plus having Jack back is always a pleasure. *sigh*
