Martin Lloyd, played by Willie Garson (seasons 4–5, 10) – A human from another planet who crashed on Earth after deserting from his military fighting a losing war with the Goa'uld. Drugged with pharmaceuticals by his comrades, Martin loses his memories and becomes a paranoid conspiracy theorist who learns of the Stargate Program. In season 4's "Point of No Return", O'Neill helps Martin to slowly regain his memory, and Martin chooses to remain on Earth. By season 5's "Wormhole X-Treme!", Martin has become so disgruntled with his life that he starts taking the drugs again. His latent memories inspire him to create a campy science fiction television show, Wormhole X-Treme!, based on the real Stargate program and SG-1, and O'Neill helps Martin recover his memories once again. A ship approaches Earth to pick up Martin's former comrades, but Martin chooses to stay behind to continue working on Wormhole X-Treme! as a creative consultant. As becomes known in season 10's "200", Martin's show only aired for three episodes but had high DVD sales. Martin approaches the SGC to review a script for a television movie based on the series, and although the movie is eventually cancelled, the series is renewed, ultimately lasting ten years with Martin Lloyd as producer.

O'NEILL
You were just going to keep taking pills for the rest of your life?

MARTIN
Another month, and the long term memory loss would've been permanent. Oh. Oh, no!

TEAL'C
What is the matter, Martin Lloyd?

MARTIN
Wormhole X-Treme. The show is based on your Stargate program.

O'NEILL
Don't worry, it's on cable. So, why'd they bring you out of it? Why now?

MARTIN
The ship's coming. We put it on a timer. Sort of a backup plan in case things didn't go right here.

O'NEILL
Why do they need you?

MARTIN
I still have the mobile computing device I stole from Tanner. They need it to access the ship.

[Teal'c stands by a device that looks suspiciously like the control panel on the Gadmeer vessel. O'Neill stands next to Martin as he frantically sorts through a variety of props.]

MARTIN
It has to be here somewhere.

O'NEILL
You used a real alien device as a prop on the show?

MARTIN
Well, I'd forgotten what it was at the time. Besides, do you have any idea what it costs to make one of these things?
