Storyline

"Stargate SG-1’s 200th episode, “200,” will center on the SG-1 team as they serve as advisors on a television series that bears remarkable similarities to the goings-on at Stargate Command. As they pitch to the producer the many adventures that they have been involved with over the years, the team discovers that truth really is stranger than fiction, but that nothing is stranger than the machinations of Hollywood." — SciFi Wire, March 28.

The television series in question is "Wormhole X-Treme", created by alien Martin Lloyd.

Production Notes

• "Episode 6 will be, of course, our 200th episode and we've tossed around some great, albeit insane, ideas on this one." — Joseph Mallozzi, November 28 Blog.
• "As for the Furlings - how's this for a newsflash - we may finally find out about them in season 10. Don't laugh. We've seriously discussed the possiblity." — Joseph Mallozzi, GateWorld Q&A, December 22.
• "No planned cameos [of the writers, producers] for the 200th episode. Not yet anyway." — Joseph Mallozzi, GateWorld Q&A, December 22.
• "Brad has been working on the third episode of SG-1 as well as that wild (some will no doubt say "crazy") idea for the 200th episode, getting on it early as it will take some time to prepare for." — Joseph Mallozzi, December 28 Blog.
• "And, of course, there's the big 200th episode that will offer up a little something for everyone. It'll be an episode unlike any we've ever produced, both in terms of format and content." — Joseph Mallozzi, January 2 Blog.
• "Rob suggested we try to break the big 200th episode sometime next week. Brad already has a rough draft of his piece." — Joseph Mallozzi, January 14 Blog.
• "We've got the 200th episode to work on and Alan's heist episode, and the SG-1 mid-season two-parter that already has the visual effects department salivating." — Joseph Mallozzi, January 19 Blog.
• When asked about whether or not the 200th episode will include an Atlantis crossover, Mallozzi replied, "It will be strictly an SG-1 episode." (GW Q&A, January 21)
• As far as the rest of the season, episode 6 is the 200th episode, a reality Michael finds unbelievable. As far as that episode, from what he’s heard, it’s going to be not unlike Wormhole Extreme in that they’ll be taking a few potshots at themselves. But the audience will be in on it, too. And it may involve the appearance of a face we’ve missed for some time. — reported from Michael Shanks Interview in SciFi Talk Podcast, early March.
