Stargate Atlantis - Critical Mass
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
The goa’uld are on Atlantis?! And they’ve planted a bomb?! Can the city be saved before it reaches Critical Mass? Or as Rachael calls it, Speed 3. There are some issues with the way Caldwell is behaving, given his role in this whole plot. Is it possible he wasn’t the intended bad guy from the beginning? We do like the fact that he was probably a goa’uld THE WHOLE TIME! All the stuff with Teyla and Charan is really sweet and Rachael has a very lovely voice. As much as we love a good montage, it’s usually to show a long passage of time, but this was only 30 minutes? Did...

Stargate SG1 - Ripple Effect
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Ripple Effect brings back some dearly departed characters, but there are also shenanigans afoot. And we did not see that twist coming. Once we find out that the whole universe jumping was planned, we’re not sure it makes sense. It just seems to ask more questions than it answers. We love this episode. It’s a lot of fun, but there were some missed opportunities. Who would you have brought back on an SG1 team just for a little cameo? Why wasn’t the cast of Wormhole X-Treme one of the alternate SG1s? We did take a little issue with Landry refusing to allow time to find a solution to...

Stargate Atlantis - Epiphany
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
In Epiphany, John is trapped in a time dilation bubble where time is passing much faster for him. Can the team save him before he dies of old age? This episode is not among our favorites. The script seems a little clunky in parts and the characters are not making the best choices. And Rodney wastes so much time telling people he doesn’t have time to explain what’s happening because that would waste time. What’s with Teer’s visions of John? This whole storyline just opens up way more questions that we’re not sure we want answered. Don’t get us started on the ending. All those people...

Stargate SG1 - Collateral Damage
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Colonel Mitchell becomes Collateral Damage when he’s arrested for murder! And he’s confessed! This episode sparks some thought-provoking conversations about memory and whether this process is something you would want to undergo. Rachael makes a really interesting point that a person knowing the memories are implanted but still believing they are their own knowledge is a weird disconnect. There’s also the point of having the knowledge of how to do something versus actually doing it can be very different things. It is a little odd that an archaeologist and an alien Jaffa are the ones put...

Stargate Atlantis - The Hive
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Will John and his team escape from the wraith? Will Rodney be able to get help in time? Find out as we discuss The Hive. Ford continues to be a petulant teenager, and we love it. Also, everyone does a really great job acting through the withdrawal of the wraith enzyme. The first time watching this episode, Kerri totally did not see the twist with Neera being a spy for the wraith coming. Rachael did. So, for once, Rachael is smarter than Kerri! Getting the wraith to start fighting themselves is truly interesting, and we can't wait to see how that will help Atlantis fight them in the future....

Stargate SG1 - The Fourth Horseman, Part 2
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Will Earth survive the Prior Plague? Will the Jaffa give in to Gerak and become slaves to the Ori? Find out as we discuss The Fourth Horseman, Part 2. Luckily, we didn’t have to wait three months this time. Why are the Sodan not surprised to see Mitchell, considering they all think he’s dead? Why is no one talking about that? And why do they only have one plan for getting blood from the Prior? It seems silly that all the world leaders from the International Committee show up in person at the SGC, which is Ground Zero for the current global pandemic. Why was Orlin not coming in to...

Stargate Atlantis - The Lost Boys
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
John’s team is kidnapped by an old friend this week in The Lost Boys. And coming soon to Netflix near you, The Found Boys starring Christopher Walken and Helena Bonham Carter, because, somehow, there is no movie or TV show called The Found Boys. So, we make one up. We kind of get why, but it’s funny to think of Aiden just being a fully petulant teenager in this episode. The interesting thing is, though, no one denies that the enzyme can increase a person’s physical abilities, but the big problem that no one is addressing is the effect this has on everyone’s mental health. How did...

Stargate SG1 - The Fourth Horseman, Part 1
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Earth is under threat from the Prior Plague in The Fourth Horseman, Part 1. In addition, the storyline with Gerak pushing so hard for the Jaffa to officially follow Origin is quite interesting. As is pointed out several times, you can’t legislate religious belief. It will be interesting to see how this fully plays out (cos we don’t remember exactly). Rachael also has an interesting take on Orlin’s appearance in this episode. Would the creepy parts of this have been less creepy if Orlin was played by a girl?

info_outlineTime to wrap things up as we discuss Stargate Atlantis season 1. The highs. The lows. The best and not so best.
Some of the choices for our Top 5 episodes might surprise you. And you might want to make sure you’re not drinking anything during Rachael’s game. You will spit it out and make a mess.
And there are further discussions about toilets on puddle jumpers. There have to be but it’s gotta be super awkward.
