to bring it all in on itself -- this is a premise in a later Farscape episode if I remember right. Some distant alien race is looking for television show ideas and one of them keeps pitching Earth shows until finally they decide upon creating a new Farscape.

They used Stargate cast members as cameos as fan-service towards people who mentioned the likeness of actors between the two series.

Indeed.

It is weird how much Ben Browder resembles Ben Browder.

Except that in the Farscape segment of Stargate's "200", Michael Shanks played John Crichton while Browder played Stark:

Ah, and how could I have forgotten Claudia Black and Claudia Black? It's been a few years.

It was good to see both of them get a few good SG-1 seasons on the strength of Farscape.

And then Scalzi’s redshirts takes that idea in another really interesting direction.
