Mitchell (Ben Browder) and Landry (Beau Bridges) are both spending some time out at O’Neill’s cabin – don’t get excited, there’s no appearance by Richard Dean Anderson here (stay tuned) – for a chance to decompress. The rest of the group is supposed to be there, but…

Teal’c (Christopher Judge), Carter (Amanda Tapping) and Vala (Claudia Black) are drawn into an investigation of strange attacks on another planet with the help of SG3 and 5.

But something is out there… and you know SG-1 is going to get involved.

So while most of the team is off-world hunting something, Landry and Mitchell are having an adventure of their own in a cabin in the woods (cause you know that never works out well).

Aee the off-planet attacks related to whatever is tracking Landry and Mitchell?

Yup, and it also ties into the Sodan cloaking technology, and a strange worm-like creature from another dimension. All caused by the frequent use of the cloaking technology. So SG-1 has to unite and go on a bug hunt in a national park.

There’s some fun moments for Mitchell and Landry, and we learn that the general is a birder.

Uninvited was written by Damian Kindler and it debuted on 11 August, 2006. It’s a bit of a romp, and seems a little unbalanced at times, as if unsure what genre it wants to embrace. This could have been a really fun riff on Aliens, Predator, or even Cabin in the Woods. Instead it’s just a bit of fun that could have been a lot more.

200. Yup the title defines what this is, the two hundredth episode of Stargate SG-1. And like the other landmark episodes, this one is going to be goofy fun. Written by Brad Wright, Robert C. Cooper, Joseph Mallozzi, Paul Mullie, Carl Binder, Martin Gero, and Alan McCullough this one aired on 18 August, 2006.

Willie Garson is back as Martin Lloyd and he has a problem, his Wormhole X-Treme show is getting a feature film. And he needs help. SG-1 has been asked to give notes on the script. And they have time for it, because the gate is down, despite Carter trying to work on it.

And once again, the show skewers itself, others (including Farscape), the genre, production and has fun doing it. Constantly meta, there is a lot of fun to be had here, and it’s just a good time altogether. Lots of gags and silliness that would never work in a single episode but makes for some really comedic bits.

There’s even a funny moment in the opening with the Furlings, who we’ve heard about, but never seen. Zombies, puppets, Trek, CW dramas, nothing is safe, including Mitchell’s paternity.

And yup, Richard Dean Anderson makes a welcome celebratory appearance. And 200 is also the amount of times Mitchell has now been through the gate.

I’m sure next week, we’ll be getting back to the Ori arc but damn this was fun.
