Life Finds a Podcast
Silvana and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 16 "Metamorphosis," which should switch it's name with the episode "Bane." Nirrti is up to her shenanigans again but is now changing people's genomes to try to make a Hok'tar. She has convinced a group of people that she is their god and can heal them and give them special powers. This episode highlights once again that Jack hates Russians, he hasn't learned anything after "The Tomb," episode and we really need Crystal Jack back to deal with these issues.

Life Finds a Podcast
Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 15 "Paradise Lost." The bromance between Jack and Colonel Maybourne is back with a vengeance. The queerbaiting is off the charts from the very beginning with the hot dog jokes. Maybourne springs his new plan to avoid being imprisoned and convinces the SGC to authorize a mission to a planet that he claims has a cache of goa'uld weapons. As expected, SG-1 is double crossed but Jack accidentally goes through a portal with Maybourne with no way to get back to the Stargate. Sam, Jonas and Teal'c are back on earth trying to find Jack with...

First Furlings! ("Sight Unseen")
Life Finds a Podcast
Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 13 "Sight Unseen," could these "creatures" be the legendary Furlings?

Not Like Other Replicators ("Unnatural Selection")
Life Finds a Podcast
Eric and Tegan are flying solo this week and watched Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 12 "Unnatural Selection." Jonas has another first and meets replicators for the first time. Spoiler alert, there are humanoid replicators now?! The team has been tasked with helping the Asgard doctor a plot (sadly Silvana wasn't there to help them) to freeze the replicators in time until they came up with a more permanent solution. The time dilation stuff gets confusing really fast and Eric and Tegan discuss time travel in Sci-Fi. Overall this episode was a cool concept, but didn't really feel like a...

Ash The Misogynistic Android (Alien 1979)
Life Finds a Podcast
Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch the original 1979 "Alien." It becomes clear very quickly that Red Dwarf is a spoof of Alien. Alien clearly has had such a huge impact on the genre overall and the hosts felt watching it was worthwhile. This movie also really exhibits the differences between the expectations of 20th century viewers versus 21st century viewers. The hosts share fun facts about the movie's filming and production, being an actor on this set sounds like it would have been a nightmare! Which really influenced the feeling of dread and tension in the film. Movie Ratings: Comedic Effect -...

Genetically Modified Symbiotes ("Cure")
Life Finds a Podcast
Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 10 "Cure." The hosts start out discussing which bands SG-1 characters would love, unfortunately this is not a crossover episode with the band The Cure. We are back in classic SG-1 style with the costumes, the post-industrial backdrop, archeology, and great character moments. The emotional moments hit hard and the ethical dilemma was interesting and handled well. Silvana gives a lesson on why Agile isn't done in medicine, Tegan rants about drug trials, and Eric gives a history lesson on Bath in England. No explosions in...

info_outlineSilvana and Tegan watch Season 3, Episode 13, "The Devil You Know". How is Teal'c not there for the reveal that Apophis is still alive?
Silvana and Tegan are confused at the Tok'ra's seeming lack of self-preservation and why there is so much torture in this episode.
Sam's flat character arc is even more clear in this episode. We love Dr. Samantha Carter, but where are her flaws? What does growth for Sam look like and what are the challenges she must have as a woman in the Air Force in the 90s?
The ladies discuss the trope of the bumbling husband. They also wonder at Apophis's poor interrogation techniques.
Tegan comments on how much fan fiction is likely associated with this episode.
Why don't Tok'ra have harsesis children to have hosts and more allies?
Tegan schools us in compulsory heterosexuality!
Here's what YouTube started suggesting to Silvana.
