 Most of the episode is devoted to references and allusions to other works , as well as the show itself . The title sequence is deliberately shorter than most other episodes , poking fun at shows like Lost as well as the Sci @-@ Fi Channel itself , which had shortened SG @-@ 1 's Season 9 opening but changed it back after fans demanded it . When Martin learns that his main actor has backed out of the movie , the SG @-@ 1 team offers various suggestions for how to replace him or work around his non @-@ availability — a reference to Michael Shanks 's absence from the sixth season of Stargate SG @-@ 1 . Anderson himself also pokes fun at the ending of the eighth season episode " Moebius " , which was intended to be the series finale before the ninth season was announced . The final scene of " 200 " , which features interviews with the Wormhole X @-@ Treme cast , was added as an afterthought , and contains comments from the real cast which were used out of context as an inside joke .
