TV rotation

changing of the guard happened. I'm now watching Samurai 7 for breakfast and Eureka for lunch / dinner. Samurai 7 is an anime take on Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, but updated in an SF / outer-space setting. Sounds terrible doesn't it? A couple of episodes in though, and I'm enjoying it. There's a simple but good story here and one that will probably be remade (as per The Magnificent Seven and Battle Beyond the Stars) again. Eureka is sort of Noerthen Exposure meets X-Files, and I saw part of the 4th season on TV last year, but now I have the first two seasons as well. I love the mad science element!
So, I watched Farscape from start to end, and thoroughly enjoyed it. One mystery remains however - I have a clear memory of an episode where a large version of Jool and cohorts are on a planet with Rygel fighting a battle, and later what looked like Zhan giving up her life force to save both Eryn and Crighton. But - all the characters looked slightly different - and it wasn't in the series!
So what was that? Stargate SG-1 did an episode called "200" where (along with Trek and the Wizard of Oz) they parody Farscape, but it was a 30 second clip, and I remember this being a full episode (but may be mistaken). .Anyone know anything about that?
