Full of self knowing nods and pastiche pieces to other genre shows, this episode is deliberately hilarious and self deprecating.
Constant references to other genre shows (and the mentality of their fans) are worked into the script beautifully.
When confronted with the fact that a movie is being made of a show that only lasted for 3 episodes on TV, Teal'cs response is. "I believe it did well on DVD" A clear and perfectly timed observation on the Firefly/Serenity situation.
On the pastiches.
Seeing the cast in a blatant star trek rip off was a joy to behold, with Ben Browder doing a more than passable Shatner impersonation.
The Wizard of Oz piece is also mana from heaven.
But the pinnacle of the piece is the Farscape scene. It was hilarious to see Ben Browder and Claudia Black back on Moya (kind of) but in different roles. And Teal'c playing the part of D'Argo was also great fun.
If you haven't seen it yet (why are you reading this? Go watch it) you must see it.
if you have seen it, you know what I'm going on about.
A true masterpiece.
