Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 16, "The Last Stand." This is a continuation of last week's episode called "Summit." You would think the Tok'ra would be the ones making their last stand here against the attack from System Lord Zapacna, but instead, SG-1 is making their last stand here plus Lt. Idiot/Lantash. Jacob and Daniel escape the system lord's mother ship...but not before the goa'uld partake in some cannibalism. We finally have goa'uld (buffet) art! Amazing. So what is next for the Tok'ra? Is Selmak the only one left? Join the discussion on our

Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 15, "Summit." For the first time in ages, multiple system lords are meeting and the Tok'ra have conveniently synthesized a symbiote poison. Daniel gets volunteered to go with Jacob to the Summit and pose as Yu's closest human servant using the Reol chemical. Jack, Sam and Teal'c stay behind at Tok'ra base where Lt. Kyle Idiot is on his first mission. Apparently Lantash survived "Divide and Conquer" and blends with Lt. Idiot out of desperation to try to save his life. Daniel is going to use the weapon but, inconveniently, Sarah/Osiris is here and he is...

Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 14, "48 Hours". Teal'c is trapped in the Stargate as an energy signature (classic!) and Dr. Rodney McKay is brought in to consult and be the quintessential asshole. What arc this character has! Join the conversation on our

Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 13 "Proving Ground". This is a nostalgic favorite for Silvana, but what's up with Lt. Haley being sidelined to a side character? How much brown nosing can Jack take? Is that the lady from Battlestar Galactica? Join the conversation on our

The day has finally arrived, lovely listeners, when we get to discuss this testament to postmodern television! Martin Lloyd is back and he has written a television show that is eerily reminiscent of the Stargate Program. Silvana and Tegan are excited to be joined by their very special guests Eric and their military advisor, Rob. Where was Katharyn Powers in this episode? Join the discussion on our .

Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 10 "2001" a follow up to Season 4's "2010" one of Silvana's all-time favorite episodes. SG-1 encounter the Aschen, again! Jack's note wasn't specific enough and they meet the Aschen through a people who are seemingly being helped by the Aschen, the Volians. The Aschen make earth an offer for technology that is hard for anyone to refuse. So in the second episode in a row, earth is given an offer that seems too good to be true. And SPOILER ALERT...it is too good to be true! The Senator-Who-Won't-Be-Named is back and is putting his ego on full...
info_outlineSilvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 3 "Ascension". In this episode an ascended being takes a shine to Sam and hitches a ride home so he can stalk her. If he stalks her long enough, will she love him? YES?!
This Sam-centric episode has some great scenes: Teal'c in a cowboy hat, for example. However, even Amanda Tapping's great acting and Jack not into Star Wars can make up for all the scenes in which we are screaming.
Silvana learns what she's supposed to say back to "live long and prosper". Tegan is shamed for not bringing a towel places.
Silvana proposes having an onsite therapist at the SG-C for crewmembers and psychological analyses of aliens they encounter. What do you think?

Apologies for some of the background noise. There is a construction zone at Silvana's house that is thankfully over now! We'll now be back to our regularly scheduled episodes every Monday.
Fan letters were saved until the end since we dove right into this episode. We couldn't stop ourselves.
Thank you for your patience, lovely listeners!
