many science fiction movies and tv shows are actually true stories, but since no one will believe that they’re true, they are presented as fiction. Only a select few know which stories are documentaries showing what really happened.
My head canon is that the writers were sick of the DOD interfering and forcing them to write in all these plot points that were real events. The writers went rogue for an episode and spilled the beans. The best part is after the episode aired, they had total immunity because any retaliation would be a confession.

This is a literal plot point of Stargate.

which of course is a distraction from the fact the main show serves the same purpose in the real world!
Saw the movie when it came out, never got around to watching the series.
