Stargate SG1 - Crusade
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
We finally find out what happened to Vala as we catch up with her in Crusade. This episode is really well done. Getting to see the other side of the story before the war starts is really interesting. Add in the threat of Russia taking back the Stargate and you have one fully stuffed episode calzone. We really like the relationship between Vala and Tomin and how she does genuinely seem to care for him. It’s just really sad when you see how he changes due to the teachings of the Ori.

Stargate Atlantis - Michael
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
This week’s episode of Atlantis, Michael, brings up some interesting questions. Should Atlantis have even done this? Why did they make up a whole fake backstory that he could never remember because it didn’t happen? Why did they do this on Atlantis? It is interesting to see our “good guys” doing something that is truly horrifying. But what repercussions should they have experienced because of what they’ve done? Even if they can transform these beings so they are no longer physically wraith, they are still psychologically wraith. How would that work? We also end with a...

Stargate SG1 - Arthur's Mantle
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
In Arthur’s Mantle, there’s some delightful callbacks and a melding of previous storylines that we really liked. It seems fairly obvious from the start that Sam and Mitchell have been transported somewhere, but the miniaturization idea is really fun! (And now we just want to watch Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.) But as much as we like Dr. Lee being used for comedic relief, it would help us understand why he’s still there if he were actually right on occasion. We do find it a little odd that Daniel didn’t clock onto Sam and Mitchell being transported somewhere else immediately after...

Stargate Atlantis - Coup d'Etat
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Major Lorne and his team are presumed dead this week as Ladon Radim tries to overthrow Cowen in Coup d’Etat. Unfortunately, the team makes some bad decisions this week that they really shouldn’t have and Ronon is just pissed off that he’s not a wanted man! One of our lovely listeners will surely know the answer to this debate that Rachael and Kerri get into: are ZPMs lit up when they’re not plugged in? Write in and let us know! There’s so much double and triple crossing going on it’s a little hard to keep track. ...

Stargate SG1 - The Scourge
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
It’s bugs, bugs, bugs as the Gamma Site is invaded in The Scourge. Overall, not one of our favorites. We’re not fans of bug-related stories/episodes in general, and there are some plot holes that we have issues with concerning how the bugs move and interact with things. We’re also confused about the whole thing where once the bugs eat, they die, but if they don’t eat, they keep living. How exactly does that work? Although we are delighted to learn about the existence of the Gamma Site, where dangerous experiments with alien life forms can take place without endangering all life on...

Stargate Atlantis - The Long Goodbye
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
It’s another possession episode as Elizabeth and John are taken over by the last two survivors of a long-fought war in The Long Goodbye. Rachael was not a fan of this one. It’s too similar to other recent episodes we’ve watched this season. We do both wish we had gotten some sort of backstory to Phebus and Thalen and why they’re fighting this war and how they know each other. This episode does have a lot of unanswered questions that could have greatly improved the plot if they were explained. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch THREADS: SG_Rewatch DISCORD:...

Stargate SG1 - Off the Grid
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Stargates are being taken from all over the galaxy in an episode that should have been called Dude, Where’s My Gate? But first, SG1 have to deal with highly addictive corn in Off the Grid. As many times as we’ve discussed the fashion of the goa’uld, does the SGC have a seamstress on staff? Where do they get the undercover outfits they wear when the need arises? Is the deal with the Kassa just that it’s super tasty? Does it affect people in any other way? It seems like it doesn’t. Which is kind of weird. Also, does it really start to rot after only 2 days? We really like how Beau...

Stargate Atlantis - The Tower
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
The set decorators do an excellent job of redressing the Atlantis set when the team finds one of its sister cities in The Tower. It was really fun seeing the set we’re all familiar with dressed up in a different way and with furniture all over the place. The guest stars in this episode were really top notch. Otho and Tavius were both excellent in their roles (though we’re really hoping the guy who plays Tavius is much nicer in real life). Rodney’s chemistry with Baldric is also fantastic and we loved every scene between those two. Does anyone else want to just bite...

Stargate SG1 - Ethon
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Daniel and the SGC end up in a bit of a pickle when an old friend calls on them for help in Ethon. This is another episode where we finally revisit a place and bringing the Ori storyline into it feels like a bit of a missed opportunity to do that more. It’s also a rare episode where the team doesn’t get the win. We do have a small diversion into Fun With The English Language as we discuss the meanings of buttload, a jiffy, and bunghole. It does seem a bit surprising no one considered the possibility of the satellite having some kind of shield given the plans they had were the...

Stargate Atlantis - Grace Under Pressure
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Can Rodney learn to rely on his friends when he gets trapped in a jumper slowly sinking to the bottom of the ocean in Grace Under Pressure? We have our good friend Evelyn back this week to find out. This is really such a great episode and it’s hard to imagine anyone other than David doing this. We really learn a lot about Rodney and what kind of person he really is deep down. The version of Sam we get in this episode is really fun to see. Since it’s not Sam and we love that Rodney KNOWS she’s not real but still basically treats her like she is. How often do you guys...
info_outlineWhat 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 on with Dr. Lam and General Landry. They’re father and daughter!
