History Recap / StargateSG1S10E6200

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: During the puppet sequence, there is a closeup shot of Puppet!Walter's hands typing furiously on a keyboard. A sharp-eyed viewer might notice during this [[FreezeFrameBonus blink and you'll miss it]] shot that several of the keys on the keyboard have been rearranged to spell out a crude insult about oral sex.

* TroubledProduction: Martin's movie. First he gets in disagreements with the executives, refusing to reuse shots from the show and threatening to take the production elsewhere. He then regrets not giving SG-1 his first draft, saying the producers brought in the other writers (and insisting he's the real producer). Later, he learns that lead actor Nick Marlowe backed out of the movie over a money dispute, leaving him at a loss with what to do with his character Colonel Danning. Later on, he learns that without Marlowe, a "junior executive" at the network is suggesting for the movie to be recast as a YoungerAndHipper team. Then the foreign distributor goes bankrupt, the resulting budget cut leaving the third act with NoEnding. Then the entire cast goes on strike with Marlowe, so Martin decides to make them think that he rewrote the script just for them. Then the focus groups rejected the ending. Finally, the studio calls him telling the movie is cancelled...because they decided to renew the series instead!

* ActorAllusion: Vala pitches a show idea based off ''[[Series/{{Farscape}} Farscape]]'', where Claudia Black and Ben Browder had acted previously.

* EngagingChevrons: Parodied and subverted in the puppets segment, where Walter announces that chevron one is... ''lit up''. It then cuts to the team discussing the mission and O'Neill voicing his hopes for finding TheBigGuy of the team on the other side, before cutting back to Walter announcing that chevron seven is... ''also lit up''.

* HarsherInHindsight: One of Mitchell's lines became this [[http://web.archive.org/web/20060823025338/http://www.gateworld.net/news/2006/08/istargate_sg-1i_cancelled_iatlan.shtml three days after the episode first aired]]:
-->'''Mitchell:''' Now, how can something work perfectly fine for ten years, then all of a sudden, it doesn't work anymore?

* MilestoneCelebration: The show’s 200th episode. Also Mitchell’s 200th time through the Stargate. [[RuleOfThree The end of the episode holds true for the 200th episode of]] [[ShowWithinAShow WormholeXtreme]].

** The fact that no-one knows who or what the hell Furlings are supposed to be.

* SandInMyEyes: Walter is shown crying during the wedding scene, before the wedding has even ''begun''.

* ButtMonkey: Siler is electrocuted and thrown across the room in one of the fantasy segments and complains "why do these things always happen to ''me?''" He's also turned into a zombie in Mitchell's pitch.

--> Science fiction is an existential metaphor that allows us to tell stories about the human condition. Issac Asimov once said individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blender critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, its essence, has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all.

* AffectionateParody: Mostly of [[SelfParody the show itself]], but parodies of ''[[Franchise/StarTrek Star Trek]]'', ''[[Series/{{Farscape}} Farscape]]'' and sci-fi tropes in general also crop up.

** Landry makes a comment about it [[Recap/StargateSG1S1E5TheFirstCommandment saying "General" on his uniform]].

* FakeoutOpening: The Furlings during the PreviouslyOn.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall[=/=]PaintingTheMedium: Twice.

'''Martin:''' [[ViewersAreMorons The audience isn't going to know the difference]], they love "weapons at maximum".\\

* HoldingTheFloor: From the aside conversation between Landry and Walter before Mitchell finally gets to make his 200th trip through the gate, it's clear that the unexplained "gate malfunction" was a ruse to buy time for other SG teams to set up a party.

* EngagingChevrons: Parodied and subverted in the puppets segment, where Walter announces that chevron one is... ''lit up''. It then cuts to the team discussing the mission and O'Neill voicing his hopes for finding TheBgGuy of the team on the other side, before cutting back to Walter announcing that chevron seven is... ''also lit up''.

-->'''Carter:''' Power's getting through to the capacitors, but for some reason the charge isn't holding. That's causing the control crystal to send feedback into the interface and reset the programming code of the base computer's dialing protocol.
-->'''Martin:''' Whoa! That was ''awesome!'' Say that again.
-->'''Carter:''' ...No!
-->'''Martin:''' Oh. Uh, everybody take five, I gotta get that down before I forget it. ''(to himself)'' The power getting the flux capacitor but the feedback is not feeding back into the feedback phase... This is gold!

-->'''Mitchell:''' Never underestimate your audience. They're generally sensitive, intelligent people who respond positively to quality entertainment.

* HarsherInHindsight: One of Mitchell's lines became this [[http://web.archive.org/web/20060823025338/http://www.gateworld.net/news/2006/08/istargate_sg-1i_cancelled_iatlan.shtml three days later]]:

* JustifiedTitle: The title of is obviously a reference to the fact that it's the show's 200th episode, but the in-universe justification is that the team are commemorating Mitchell's 200th trip through the stargate.

* PardonMyKlingon: Spoofed and turned UpToEleven in the ''[[Series/{{Farscape}} Farscape]] parody, in which the dialogue consists of practically nothing ''but'' made up alien curse words.

* PlausibleDeniability: [[Recap/StargateSG1S5E12WormholeXTreme Once again]], it's stated that this is the reason why the Air Force is so keen for Martin to go ahead with his film, since it's existence instantly discredits anyone trying to go public about the ''real'' stargate program.

** Prior to Martin's arrival, Daniel questions why anyone would make a movie of a show that only had three episodes; Teal'c replied that it "performed quite well on DVD", as a nod to ''[[Series/{{Firefly}} Firefly]]''

** Her second pitch is ''[[Series/{{Farscape}} Farscape]]'' (after Martin told her to pick something more obscure if she's going to plagiarize), with [[ActorAllusion herself as Aeryn]], Daniel as Crichton, Carter as Chiana, Teal'c as D'Argo, Mitchell as Stark and Thor as Rygel. She also starts to suggest a pitch based on ''[[Film/GilligansIsland Gilligan's Island]]'', but Martin cuts her off before she can get into it fully.
** [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail Scene 24]] is a ''[[Franchise/StarTrek Star Trek]]'' parody, starring Mitchell as Captain Kirk, Carter as Uhura, Daniel either McCoy or Spock and Teal'c as Worf.

* TakeThat: To the central gimmick of ''[[Series/{{24}} 24]]''.

-->'''Martin:''' Oh, I just have't fixed that part yet. I'm thinking I can back-sell it and say you were beamed out at the last second.

* HerCodeNameWasMarySue: Mitchell's pitch, where he imagines himself as an unstoppable ActionHero and humanity's last hope against the zombie hordes (while the rest of the team are inexplicably absent) is ''made'' of this. Teal'c's private investigator pitch and Vala's Wizard of Ox pitch are milder examples.

!!200 provides examples for the following tropes:
* ActorAllusion: Vala pitches a show idea based off the series Farscape, where Claudia Black and Ben Brower had acted previously.
* ContinuityNod: Mitchell has read every single mission report but one: [[Recap/StargateSG1S3E14Foothold the report on the aliens who infiltrated and attempted to take over the SGC]]. Carter, Daniel, and Teal’c all try to make Mitchell believe that the report was actually a report on a more intimate subplot we never saw in [[Recap/StargateSG1S2E211969 1969]] between Carter and O’niell.

* MilestoneCelebration: The show’s 200th episode. Also Mitchell’s 200th time through the Stargate. [[RuleOfThree The end of the episode holds true for the 200th episode of]] [[ShowWithinAShow WormholeXtreme]].
* PaintingTheMedium / LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Twice.

* ShoutOut: Oh so many.
** Vala’s show pitches include TheWizardOfOz, GilligansIsland, and Farscape. Martin shoots down the first two, but is at a loss at the third.
** StarTrek is used in one scene, specifically, [[Main/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail Scene 24]].
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: Lampshaded. When Martin suggests a shocking moment to end the movie, General O’Niell arrives, much to the surprise of SG-1. Vala suggest that the audience will see it coming. Carter predicts otherwise
