Wormhole X-Treme! (512)

[Elwe Singollo]

Yes, a black eye on his head wouldn't be too bad

Wormhole X-Treme is one of my favorite SG-1 episodes. It is most definitely in my top five and usually in the top three. In case you're wondering, Broca Divide, Fifth Race and Lost City (as one ep) are also vying within my top five. As a celebratory 100th episode, I thought it was a great idea for the cast/crew to have a little fun on set, poke fun at themselves and move the SG-1 story along a little in the process.

I used to think it was a fun romp that wouldn't mean much if you didn't follow the series. However, I recently watched it with some people who are not SG-1 followers and barely know scifi television, and they loved it!! More importantly they subsequently wanted to borrow all my DVD sets! (Heck no! Go to Netflix! )

I can understand how this can be some peoples top favorite episode I alos think Lost City is in my top favorite episodes as well I agree, for the 100th episode, it was a good that they included the actual crew in the episode, it was nice.

[Anubis]

The Lost City was great


Anyway, I can also understand where you are coming from. The theme was a good idea, but I just didn't like how it was played and set out

[Elwe Singollo]

What didn't you like Anubis? I thought they could have accomplished more if they did something better in part 1 of Lost City, part 2 of Lost City was really good

But shouldn't we be talking about Worhim X-treme! ? Haha..

[taupecat]

For the record, it really helps to watch this episode when you're already drunk.

[Selmak]

I wish I had the DVD so I could get more of the jokes

[Selmak]

Martin's all drugged up again

[Anthro Girl]

There's nothing worse than a 'clips' show. I appreciated Wormhole X-Tremel, it was sort of like a Clips show, but it wasn't as bad. I think it's the closest we're going to see to a "All singing & dancing" musical episode (still keeping fingers crossed on that one).

I'm not so sure I'd want to see Stargate: The Musical. An episode of Wormhole X-Treme, maybe...but no musical!

[Selmak]

Stargate: The Musical I'm sure it'll be funny... but very stupid at the same time.

[Danny-boy]

I like all their reactions at the beginning when sg-1 is watching the show, the rest of it i don't like so much, but that's just me. Generally, I thought it was a great ep

I would abosultely love SG-1, The Musical. Of course it would have to be done right to come across as funny. I haven'theard the commentaries yet, but I absolutely loved the episode and all ofthe jokes. Obviously there were many jokes that you could get just as an SG-1 fan but also as a sci-fi fan in general. I might have appreciated some of the produciton and "behind-the-scenes" jokes becasue of my experience as a theatre techie, which is probably why I love this episode so much.

[Anubis]

lol I agree with that!

'Best' Failed Pilots Get ABC Showcase
(Monday, August 02 02:34 PM)

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Borrowing a page from Trio's "Brilliant But Cancelled," ABC is putting together a special showcasing TV pilots that never made it onto a network schedule.

"The Best TV Shows that Never Were" is scheduled to air at 8 p.m. ET Monday, Aug. 16. The one-hour show will feature clips from such non-classics as "The Ultimate Importer," "Fuzzbucket," "Poochinski" -- featuring Peter Boyle as a dead cop, reincarnated as a police dog -- and "Wishman."

The clips will also show now-famous folks like Dennis Franz, Tom Selleck, Keanu Reeves and Marg Helgenberger in shows that networks thought were good enough to make but not good enough to put on their schedules. Somewhat ironically, the special will air opposite the Olympics on NBC, which means the shows no one ever saw probably won't draw a very large audience in their recycled form.

The recycling of TV pilots has become something of a growth business recently. Trio's "Brilliant But Cancelled" series celebrates shows that were either quickly cancelled or never made it on the air in the first place, and the L.A.-based Un-Cabaret comedy group has a regular pilot showcase called "The Other Network."

ABC's special is based on the book "Unsold Television Pilots" by Lee Goldberg, a veteran TV writer ("Monk," "Diagnosis Murder," "Spenser: For Hire"). Goldberg, Steve Gerbson and William Rabkin are its executive producers.

Hmmmm...someone up at Bridge Studios must have worked on the pilot for "Poochinski" -- as it was referred to by Martin (to Jack) in "Wormhole X-treme."

As if I needed more proof of the fall of Western Civilization? They can't come up with any decent new shows, so now they recycle failed old shows? Yikes.

Hmmmm...someone up at Bridge Studios must have worked on the pilot for "Poochinski" -- as it was referred to by Martin (to Jack) in "Wormhole X-treme."

I wonder if it might have been pitched to RDA or Greenburg? It was in the early '90s...
