Richard Dean Anderson (General Jack O’Neill) will make a return visit through the Stargate in season ten to mark and celebrate the show’s unprecendented 200th episode.
On the 200th, O’Neill and the SG-1 Team will be serving as consultants to a television series that has remarkable similarities to the real SGC. Now, I know that premise sounds familiar. We all remember when the DeLuise brothers did something like that a few years back, but executive producer Robert C. Cooper and co-creator Brad Wright say this one really is very different and the story goes in a whole other direction that no one will expect.
And there is more good news. Anderson’s return will not be limited to this one special appearance. The General is expected to be in several other episodes of both Stargate SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis, both shows making their season premiere’s this summer.
One final bit of news concerning the 200th episode of Stargate SG-1 – the cast and crew have thrown in a nice little nod of recognition to Joss Whedon’s Firefly/Serenity. See if you catch it when SG-1 returns.
YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!!!!!!
*does happy dance*
WE GET JACK BACK!!!!!!!!
Cool…
Got to say though, Ben Browder has definitely filled in the gaping void left by Anderson’s departure. He brings so much life back into the series!
what I’ve heard of the episode, the story sounds like a recycle of SG-1’s 100’th “Wormhole Extreme” which involved Richard Dean Anderson (as Col O’Neill) was placed by the SGC as a “consultant” on a cheezy knock off show.
The episode isn’t just a recycling of the episode “Wormhole X-treme”, it’s a continuation of sorts. Martin Lloyd (who was introduced in the Season 4 episode “Point of No Return” and then came back in the Season 5 episode “Wormhole X-treme”) will be back in the 200th episode.
