Stargate SG1 - Beachhead
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Vala makes a heroic sacrifice to try and save the galaxy from an Ori incursion this week in Beachhead. We finally meet the goa’uld hacker! And he is not what we expected. But he is exactly what Vala expected and nobody else would listen to her. We do have an issue with just how straight up mean and rude everyone is to her in certain scenes. There are two things we were quite happy to see happen this week, though: they met up with a possible adversary on a neutral planet before coming back to the SGC and Mitchell referred to a 30 EARTH minutes!

Stargate Atlantis - Condemned
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
John’s team finds a civilization seemingly as advanced as they are this week in Condemned. But how exactly is this society untouched by the wraith? The answer is not what you might expect. The story matter being addressed is sadly still relevant today. While Torrell is an interesting character, some of his monologuing is a bit much. We have a challenge for you, our lovely listeners! What technobabble monologue should Rachael and I memorize to perform during our season 2 warp-up episode? Send us an email or drop it in our Discord. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch THREADS: SG_Rewatch ...

Stargate SG1 - The Powers That Be
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
What starts as a fun romp with Vala visiting an old planet she had ruled over as a goa’uld turns deadly serious as a Prior of the Ori returns in The Powers That Be. This episode starts bringing up an interesting point - can you talk someone out of faith/religious belief through logic and reason? Because, when you get down to it, those two things are diametrically opposed. Faith exists without logic and reason. It just is. So, when the being asking for religious devotion is evil, how do you counteract that? We finally get definitive information as to what exactly is going...

Stargate Atlantis - Duet
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Rodney gets a temporary houseguest when Cadman winds up in his brain after an incident with a wraith dart in Duet. Why did the Atlantis expedition never take the jumper cloaking technology and make it personal sized? It’s weird that no one tells Katie Brown what’s going on with Rodney. It doesn’t seem to really be a secret and also something that would easily explain his seemingly strange actions and attitude. This is a really fun episode especially after the very serious and heavy start to season 2. Let us know: who would be the worst and the best...

Stargate SG1 - The Ties That Bind
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
The team, not SG1, is off an a galaxy-wide treasure hunt this week to try and break The Ties That Bind. While we can admit that Vala is a bit much and some of the writing is doing her a disservice, we do still love her and Daniel’s chemistry. We also get the official introduction of the Lucian Alliance and all these bad guys coming out of the woodwork now that the goa’uld are gone is really interesting. The commentary gives us some insight into where exactly the bathrooms are on a cargo ship. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch THREADS: SG_Rewatch ...

Stargate Atlantis - Runner
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Jason Momoa has entered the chat! Yes, the episode we’ve all been waiting for - the arrival of Ronon Dex. But why is no one else concerned with UV exposure like Rodney is? It’s really important! There’s some interesting tension now between John and Caldwell over who is actually in charge when Caldwell is on Atlantis. Generally, this is a really interesting episode for Rodney. He’s doing all the Rodney things but then he actually shoots Ford and it’s all kinds of amazing. And now that we’re into the actual start of this second season of Atlantis,...

Stargate SG1 - Origin
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
We finally meet the new big bad for Stargate in Origin. But just how evil are the Ori? Is it the religion or the men we need to be concerned with? What exactly is their relationship to the Ancients we already know? TPTB have gotten some amazing guest stars already with Louis Gossett, Jr. as Gerak! He will be an interesting character to get to know over the season. Was it really such a good idea for Mitchell to just bring that Prior back through the gate to the SGC? They know nothing about him or what he wants. Maybe not the best decision. There is some confusion over...

Stargate SG1 - Avalon, Part 2
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Will the team make it out alive or be squished like bugs? Let’s find out as we continue our season 9 rewatch with Avalon, Part 2. We love the call back to the communication stones from Citizen Joe. Whatever you do, do not play a drinking game with these episodes where you drink whenever someone says “Hallowed are the Ori” because you will die. It was strange how Fannis didn’t give Vala any kind of heads up about what was expected of her at tea with the Administrator’s wife. Or just say she was sick and wasn’t going to make it. And this all leads to one of the...

Stargate SG1 - Avalon, Part 1
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
There are massive changes afoot at Stargate Command as Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell tries to get the team back together in the season 9 premiere, Avalon Part 1. What does goa’uld money look like? Do they have what we would consider money? Crypto, maybe? We love the dynamic between Daniel and Vala so much. It’s so fun and different from anything else on the show. They’re amazing.

Stargate Atlantis - The Intruder
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
We’re continuing with Stargate Atlantis as we delve into The Intruder. Given the plot, of course, we have to know what a wraith hacker is like. And who would be the better hacker - the goa’uld or the wraith? We’re really liking Caldwell. He might be in charge, but he still takes advice from people who have more information about certain situations. We are confused by Weir and Simon’s relationship. What exactly are they to each other? It just seems so odd that he would consider a year such a long time that he ended up meeting someone else. It is kind of...
info_outlineJohn gets his Captain Kirk on this week in Sanctuary. It is an episode that makes us ask, “Why?” and wonder if John is just kind of dumb. Could it be down to a new (and one-time) writer perhaps not having a great grasp of the characters?
But, back to break it all down with us is Evelyn! You asked and we listened. She has returned.
Why aren’t ZPMs rechargeable? They should be. Thank Athar for Teyla this episode. She truly is the voice of reason. Everyone else is so out of character that the choices they make and the things they do are just wrong and weird.
