From the Chicago Tribune [link] :
What does a show do when it hits its 200th episode? If it’s “Stargate SG-1,” it makes fun of itself. A lot.
The “Stargate SG-1” episode titled “200,” which airs 8 p.m. Friday on Sci Fi, is one of the funniest TV outings of the summer, at least for this fan of the show. I can honestly say the episode, which is full of in-jokes and light-hearted fantasy sequences, made me laugh until I cried.
But you don’t need to be a longtime fan of the long-running program to enjoy its jibes at sci-fi clichés (beaming technology that works under highly suspect circumstances) or expedient writing (when in doubt, throw in some zombies). As one character says of the script for a proposed “Stargate SG-1”-inspired movie, “All these writers, and they couldn’t come up with something better?”
Spoilers follow, but I didn't read them.
I thought for sure that "10% of our brains" fallacy was completely played out.
As others have said, I was willing to let it slide with the "at one time" disclaimer.
My best guess is he's able to apply his entire brain to all tasks, rather than each part doing its own thing, though I have to think that could seriously screw things up, like senses going off-line because he's busy trying make himself fly or something.
“All these writers, and they couldn’t come up with something better?”
BWAH! 'Cause as we all know, the more writer names there are in the credits, the better the movie will be.
I just saw the third episode of Eureka, as I was on holidays for the second. Though I can't bring myself to really regret it. Wine and cheese has that effect on me.
Creepy mind wipe! Also aborted pointing gestures and confused looks! Good episode. Would anyone care to explain why they live in a house with a name and such for me though? Or point me to episode summaries? Also, the daughter (whose name I'm blanking on at the minute) looks very very like an actress from Coronation Street, and I keep getting distracted.
why they live in a house with a name and such for me though?
It's a side project of The Mouthbreather's, and the fastest thing for Jack to move into.
Jars- Carter needed a place to live and was sleeping in the jail cell until he could find one. Fargo offered to let him live in his prototype smart house, S.A.R.A.H (I can't remember what the acronym actually stands for.) for I assume free (since there's been no mention of rent) and Carter took him up on it. At the end of episode, Zoe (the daughter) shows up because she's decided to live with him (or something. I don't think it's really explained, she just sort of says "Hi, Dad" and barges in.)
Ah. It all becomes clear.
The funny thing is that Fargo wants to have Sarah Michelle Geller record the voice of the house (he's apparently a big fan), but so far her people haven't gotten back to him, so the voice is actually his.
Heh. That is funny. Maybe I'll catch it if/when it airs on terrestrial. Or ahem it at some point.
Yeah, I hated doing the sex banter at the end and fought it for a while. Neither one of us liked it because it seemed like a strange mislead for the insurance form, which was supposed to be a payoff.
You know what I mean? Why mislead a payoff? It's a payoff. But there were bigger battles and other stuff going on. But the producers on set and the director reeally liked it and being the broken shell of a man that I am, I bent.
Sad to hear that I may have been right. There was more to that scene that I was fighting though.
