SG: Fire (SG-1: "The Changeling")
Life Finds a Podcast
Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch Stargate SG1: Season 6 Episode 19 "The Changeling." This is the second episode written by Christopher Judge and the hosts enjoyed it much more than the first episode he wrote ("The Warrior"). This episode is really a firefighting ad for a bit of the episode as Teal'c is living an alternate life in a dream state as a fireman. Teal's is switching between 2 dream lives, one of being a firefighter waiting to donate his kidney to his stepfather and one where he is a member of SG1, but the truth is much darker. The hosts have a few ideas for what have been a better...

Don't Kiss Jonas Without Consent! (SG1: "Forsaken")
Life Finds a Podcast
Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch Stargate SG1 Season 6 Episode 18 "Forsaken." Jack apparently forgot he is an amateur astronomer and no longer trusts strangers who have a chain of command (maybe because this alien is hitting on Sam?). You should definitely know to be suspicious of aliens flirting with you right away. This episode features Celtic peoples who have been kidnapped by the goa'uld. It also features VERY SILLY looking weapons. This episode features a prop from a Macgyver episode!

Helm's Deep in France ("Timeline" Film)
Life Finds a Podcast
Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch the 2003 Film "Timeline." The hosts described this movie as jurassic park for archeologists instead of paleontologists. Eric Bana was dreamy as always in this intellectual movie made by non-intellectual people. The battle scene in this movie also really stood out. Silvana and Tegan educate on the problematic history of the depiction of consent in Hollywood. Overall, the hosts all enjoyed this movie and would definitely recommend it.

Clip Show and Chill (SG-1: "Disclosure")
Life Finds a Podcast
Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 17 "Disclosure," a truly uninventive recap episode. However, a good jumping off point to talk about the culture and media of the early 2000s. In this episode, The SGC invites leaders from various nations to disclose to them the Stargate Program. Senator Kinsey is there to try to convince them that the NID would be a better organization to oversee the program. Thor swoops in at the last minute to have a sassy one liner and to convince everyone that keeping control with the SGC is the right call afterall. No need to...

Just Kiss A Russian, Already! (SG-1 "Metamorphosis")
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. This episode reminds of the Hell episodes where we are going back and forth...

Arugula? On Chicken Nachos?! (Stargate SG-1: "Paradise Lost")
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? This is an earth-based episode where everyone who has come in contact with an Ancient device (or touched a person who has) can see huge "bugs" everywhere. A Veteran's grandma really steals the show in this one. Silvana introduces Eric and Tegan to "Flatland" which a strong recommendation for any math nerd.

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...

Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 11 "Prometheus." There's been a leak about the Stargate program, AGAIN! And it's revealed that the Air Force has been cooking up something big underground in the desert - the X303, also known as Prometheus.

info_outlineSilvana, Tegan, and Eric watch Season 6, Episode 4, "Frozen". This episode is a perfect candidate for future fan fictions, as Sam and Janet are both in several scenes together. We learn a little more about the ancients and a taste of the Born Sexy Yesterday trope.
