Sky One Program Guide: The SG-1 team find themselves trapped in a museum on a world that has yet to discover the secret of the Stargate. Their plan to wait for Stargate command to send help is cut short when they are discovered and mistaken for a militant group of rebels. As an army builds outside the museum, the team decides to pretend they are in fact the rebels they have been accused of being, and mock up a hostage situation to buy themselves enough time for Stargate Command to rescue them. However, their lives are put at serious risk when the museum's nightwatchman takes matters into his own hands.

Production Notes
- Before cameras: August 16-24, 2006 (it was during the filming of this episode that the cancellation announcement was made).
- "SG1 gates into what they believe is a pyramid tomb, but they are, in fact, inside a museum. They try to dial out and realize the DHD is a prop. There's a party going on inside the museum and all the guests, including these political dignitaries, think our team is a group of terrorists. Things soon start to go wrong and violence erupts. [...] So SG1 are stuck in a Dog Day Afternoon-type dilemma with the team trying to convince everyone that they are not terrorists but are really from another planet. Our heroes end up being the bad guys for the entire episode, which was a fun twist to write." — Martin Gero, TV Zone Special #74, January 2007.
- "That was the first time that we had stunt repellers on the show. We had four guys repelling down a two story building, each of them using one hand to work the rope, and the other hand to fire their weapons. They hit the ground, click off their ropes, and then pursue Teal'c and Daniel. It's pretty cool." — Dan Shea, Stunt Coordinator, TV Zone Special #74, January 2007.
- "I also got to talk to Martin [Gero] about Friday night’s SG-1 episode, “Bad Guys”, which he penned. Actually, Ben Browder shared the story credit because it was his original concept. Ben pitched a show where we go through the gate and end up in a museum on an alien planet, where their gate is on display. This alien civilization has never seen the gate work, and they think we’re terrorists. It’s a pretty great concept, and it turned into a great show. Coincidentally, we shot that episode just after the feature “Night at the Museum” finished filming in Vancouver, so all of the display cases you see are from that movie." — Alex Levine, script coordinator, scifi.com blog, May 17, 2007.
- "Now, Martin [Gero] has always been an Atlantis staff writer, but because Atlantis was so far ahead on scripts last year, Martin was idle so Rob Cooper asked him to write Bad Guys. Martin also mentioned it was directed loosely, meaning the rough cut was very long (12 minutes over) and there was a lot taken out to cut it to time. And lastly, Martin wrote most of Bad Guys traveling through Europe during last year’s summer hiatus. Talk about industrious." — Alex Levine, script coordinator, scifi.com blog, May 17, 2007.
