I am not a Stargate: SG-1 fan and I never plan to be since it was favored over Farscape by the Sci-Fi channel. I love the latter, though at present I'm more savvy and recognize its flaws. I don't feel comfortable admitting them, however, so they'll remain buried in garden along with the neighbor kid's dead pet cicadas. It was original and enthralling, and I hope I see it that way again when I'm older and my eye is keener. I'm hoping, perhaps foolishly, that it ages well.
SG-1's 200th episode was akin to watching Farscape. Almost every episode of Farscape has a strand of absurdity that it willingly embraces. That strand was there. SG-1 poked fun at itself and all of sci-fi television. It was one of the best hours of programming I've watched since Farscape went off the air.
You might want to take that with the proverbial grain of salt, considering my slim choice of viewing material. It was still a damn fun hour of television.
