From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"200" is the sixth episode of the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1's tenth season, and the two-hundredth episode of the series overall. In contrast to the more serious nature of the season's story arc, "200" is a light-hearted parody of Stargate SG-1, other sci-fi shows, and popular culture such as The Wizard of Oz. "200" won the 2007 Constellation Award for Best Overall 2006 Science Fiction Film or Television Script, and was nominated for the 2007 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form. The episode also marks the first time original SG-1 member Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) is seen since the beginning of Season 9. The episode received a 1.9 average household rating in the US, one of the few episodes of the season that surpassed the average rating of Stargate SG-1's previous season. "200" also received near-universal praise for its humor and writing. Despite the strong performance of the episode, the Sci-Fi Channel announced soon after the episode's airing it would not be renewing the series for another season. (more...)
