Stargate Atlantis - Conversion
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
John’s turning into a wraith! Can the team find a cure in time before the Conversion is complete? We really like how they’ve written John in this episode (and his make-up). His checking that Teyla was okay after their kiss was an excellent decision. Though, we do have some concerns over them not addressing what would happen if they weren’t able to save John and the fact that so much time and personnel are spent saving one man. Important as he may be. Caldwell continues to be one of the most interesting characters because you’re never quite sure what his motivations for his actions...

Stargate SG1 - Babylon
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Due to pending technical issues, we speed run this week’s discussion of SG1’s Babylon. But don’t worry. We’re still funny. We hope… We wish we had more information about the Sodan. We’re told they’re these amazing warriors that have inspired Jaffa all throughout the galaxy, but why? From what we see happen, they were banished by their goa’uld and then just lived off on their own without any regard for what was happening with all the other Jaffa. We really like how they’re writing Mitchell, and the way he is trying to make the Sodan understand how bad the...

Stargate Atlantis - Instinct
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
We learn some very interesting things about wraith physiology this week on Instinct. Also, Beckett is working on a way to turn wraith into full humans. Do the wraith have families? How much fun would Ronon be at a party? Even though it’s a bad thing that Ellia does still feed on people, how she goes about doing it is quite smart. There’s a new sound effect we need help with: the wraith screech. Is it related to the symbiote screech? Are they the same? Or is it Alan Tudyk?? There is a timeline discrepancy in what’s going on with Goran and Zaddik. If Zaddik went missing two...

Stargate SG1 - Ex Deus Machina
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
SG1 learns that Ba’al has been hiding on Earth since his defeat at the battle of Dakara in Ex Deus Machina. We like that the goa’uld are still a thing in this new Ori era of storytelling. We now have the new Stargate sitcom spinoff: Sugar Ba’als. Coming to SyFy next summer! As much as Ba’al can’t be trusted to hold up his end of the promise he makes to live on Earth in peace, it would have been interesting to explore that. Just, every now and then we check in with Ba’al on a beach in Mexico, chilling with his sugar mamas. We do want to know what...

Stargate Atlantis - Trinity
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
This week on Trinity, Rodney destroys 3/4s (well, 5/6s) of a solar system but does he learn anything from it? Also, Ronon is not alone as he had thought. We really like this episode but we have a major issue with trying to figure out how much time actually passes in this episode. The stuff that Rodney and his team are working on should take several weeks if not months but it seems as if only a day has passed based on Ronon and Teyla’s adventure. Speaking of, getting more of Ronon’s history is really interesting and Jason is really coming into his own as this character....

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 ...
info_outlineThe SG1 season 8 finale starts with Moebius, Part 1. Rachael LOVED this episode. As did Kerri. But this is overall a very good episode.
How exactly do deliveries to a facility like Cheyenne Mountain work? Wouldn’t some kind of National Security thing prevent things like that?
Why do SG1 just decide the only option is for them to stay in the past forever rather than waiting for a time when the jumper is unguarded or put somewhere they can sneak into and get it back?
Amanda Tapping is a comedy genius in the alternate future timeline. The little changes she makes to her physicality and expressions are so fantastic. We love her. And it’s fun to see the show poke a little fun at itself in the new timeline.
