"Must Preserve", That's What Love Means - Season 4 Tier Ranking
SG-1 Event Horizon
Silvana and Tegan discuss the tier ranking for Season 4 of "Stargate SG-1." There are some obvious episodes, like "Window of Opportunity" or "Point of No Return". Sorry, we were too late with our "Jane the Virgin" warning; you'll just have to find it somewhere else. Episodes with Jack/Sam romance immediately lose ranking. Silvana and Tegan take Sophia's opinions into consideration when deciding where to put "Entity". Surprisingly, "The First Ones" was a bigger hit than anticipated.

Justice for Hebron! (Exodus)
SG-1 Event Horizon
Silvana and Tegan watch Season 4, Episode 22 "Exodus" and discuss how Stargate SG-1 is veering into a more pure sci-fi style, and Silvana is not a fan of it. Another thing the hosts are not a fan of - the Tok'ra. The Tok'ra train has derailed into an alternate dimension at this point. The Tok'ra know Tanith (using Hebron as a host) is a spy but the whole spy business it just handled in the most ridiculous and frankly awful way. The Tok'ra used the host Hebron in a very goa'uld way by just using him for their own ends. This is the episode where Samantha Carter blows up a sun, and...

There Can Only Be One Bill (Prodigy)
SG-1 Event Horizon
Silvana and Tegan watch Season 4, Episode 19, "Prodigy". Cadet Hailey is introduced and we are told rather than shown that she is an insubordinate know-it-all and the powers that be want to throw her out of the academy.

SG-1 minus Daniel Jackson visit a moon (it's NOT a planet!) to supervise a team of scientists are studying....something?

A Snack of an Episode (The Light)
SG-1 Event Horizon
TW: Suicide/self-harm Silvana and Tegan watch Season 4, Episode 18, "The Light". Once again, there is a strong need for a therapist on base, but there is not one! There's not even a trigger warning for this episode... SG-1 is challenged by a planet that has a narcotic effect on anyone that visits it. They meet a teenager named Loren and rescue him from this planet - to never be seen again. Silvana asks the most important question of this episode: Where are they defecating? is Teal'c an honorary Jehovah's Witness? Was there a Little Finger gao'uld equivalent?

In this episode, the Harsesis Child arrives at the SG-C to make Daniel fall asleep and dream of an alternative reality. The three discuss the child actor chosen for the Harcesis Child. Tegan finds it weird that this is back to back with "2010", since neither results in much change in the overall storyline. Will absolute power corrupt Daniel Jackson? Absolutely. Is breakfast a conspiracy? Join the discussion on our .

The Church of Nuance ("2010")
SG-1 Event Horizon
Tegan and Silvana watch Season 4, Episode 16 "2010". This episode is one of Silvana's favorite episodes and takes place ten years in the future. The Stargate program has been revealed to the world when a highly advanced people called the Aschen offer to share their technology with Earth. Could they be why the Earth birth rate is dropping? Yes, of course it is. This episode has some excellent easter eggs, especially when the team visits the SG-C as a museum site.

SG-1 Event Horizon
Silvana and Tegan watch Season 4, Episode 15 "Chain Reaction," and are joined by guest star, Eric! This is a Maybourne and Jack episode and splits Jack from the rest of SG-1. The three discuss how Stargate is unique in how contemporary espionage plays into the storyline. Also isn't Kinsey the worst? Maybourne's apartment leaves much to be desired.
