Stargate Atlantis - Sateda
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Ronon is taken home by the wraith and made into a runner again in Sateda. This is just a great episode overall and we’re glad we got this part of Ronon’s story where he revisits a planet he had been to previously. Rachael really wanted this episode to be a two-parter so we could have gotten more of Ronon’s past, though. How does the gate know when to shut off? Is this just another “Because TV!” type of situation. The scene between John and Teyla on the Daedalus is so amazing. Joe is really great at playing the awkwardness of what John is trying to say but can’t....

Stargate SG1 - Insiders
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Great Ba’als of fire!! The SGC is overrun with Ba’als (and we’re overrun with puns, sorry) as SG1 gather up all the clones in exchange for information on how to find Merlin’s weapon. Of course, things don’t go as expected. It’s Insiders. We really like that little conversation Mitchell has with Landry about how much control he doesn’t have over SG1. He’s just gotta hope everyone is in line with the goals and will follow the plan. We do have some issues with Ba’al’s plan. It just seems overly complicated for what the goal ended up being. Surely, he could have just...

Stargate Atlantis - Irresistible
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Richard Kind returns as the absolutely Irresistible Lucius in this week’s sitcom version of Stargate Atlantis. As much as we really like this episode (and we do genuinely think it’s a lot of fun), there are a couple of plot holes that we wish had been dealt with. First off, where exactly is the gate for this planet? Is it in orbit or not? And then, what Lucius is doing does have some date rapey vibes to it that are not cool. We do find it interesting that being away from Lucius causes people to go through an actual physical withdrawal. We’ve never seen something like that in these...

Stargate SG1 - The Pegasus Project
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Dr. Jackson finally makes it to Atlantis this week in The Pegasus Project. There’s A LOT that happens in this episode, and it actually ends on a very big win for both SG1 and Atlantis. We really like seeing all the interactions between the SG1 characters and the Atlantis. Everyone is really well written and we can’t wait for more crossovers. Does the SGC have a stockpile of gates lying around or did they have to go out and get them from somewhere? The reveal that the hologram in this episode is actually an ascended Ancient is so well done. We remember not seeing that coming the first...

Stargate Atlantis - Misbegotten
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Stargate Atlantis’ Misbegotten leaves us with many questions. A lot of them are about the wraith’s hair and how culturally important it might be. And do hive ships float? Why does it seem like Atlantis has learned nothing from its past mistakes? Yes, they really didn’t have a lot of options with transforming the hive ship full of wraith into humans. It just seems like they’ve never had a larger discussion about what to do with the wraith they turn into humans. And they keep treating Michael like he’s some kind of spy when they’re the ones who made him what he is! This really was...

Stargate SG1 - Morpheus
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Sleep becomes a dangerous thing while SG1 are off searching for Merlin’s weapon in Morpheus. Back at the SGC, Landry has to decide if Vala can become a member of the SGC given her past. We actually really like these two storylines being in the same episode. The silliness and weirdness of Vala’s escapades really help balance out the seriousness of what’s happening off-world with SG1. We do wish they had gone into some more detail or at least speculation about how the parasite can travel from person to person, because we can’t quite figure out how that happened. Also, how long does it...

Stargate Atlantis - No Man's Land
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Will the wraith make it to Earth? Will Rodney and Ronon become wraith food? Is John alive? Find out as we move into season 3 with No Man’s Land. Aren’t the IOA just lovely? They’re totally supportive of every decision that has ever been made. /sarcasm Did you realize Weir was stuck at the SGC after she walked through the gate? Because, at this point, the wormhole can only go one way between the galaxies. It’s interesting how the solution to this problem is to go back to the original Plan A - transform an entire hive ship of wraith into humans with the gas Beckett created. It all comes...

Stargate SG1 - Flesh and Blood
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
We’ve made it to SG1 season 10 and it’s time to see what the Ori’s plans are with Flesh and Blood. Now, in general we don’t remember a lot about season 10 so this is going to be a fun “rewatch” for us. Did everyone make it out alive after the explosive season 9 finale? Where are the ori going? What’s with Vala’s daughter? Seeing the flashbacks of how everyone survived was really great but also not so much because everyone else is dead. One of the coolest things, though, is Sam’s rescue by Mitchell and Kvasir as they scoop her up with the Odyssey docking bay. So awesome!...

Sumuru (2003)
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
This week, we do something a little different before we jump into Stargate SG1 season 10. We venture back in time to watch the 2003 Michael Shanks classic, Sumuru. It’s 900 years in the future, women rule the world, and men are used for slave labor, procreation, and sacrifices to the giant snake god. This movie is not as bad as it could have been. The general premise is quite interesting but it kind of falls apart in the details. There are some decent moments, but, as Rachael explains, it feels like someone’s college thesis project. The CGI is terrible. What’s with the giant snake?...

Stargate Atlantis - Season 2 Wrap-Up
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
It’s time to finish our discussion of Stargate Atlantis Season 2 with our annual wrap-up episode! What were the best episodes? Who was the best villain? What quotes do we remember? And WTF happened?? Also, what would happen if a wraith fed on a person who had a goa’uld parasite in them? Would it be like eating a double meal? Once more, don’t forget to check in on the Discord to vote on the polls and let us know who is right. And let us know what you would pick for these categories!

info_outlineThe Lanteans team up with the wraith in Allies to put Beckett’s retrovirus to the test. Of course, things proceed exactly as expected.
The beginning of this episode introduces a concept we hadn’t though of before: does Atlantis drift around the ocean at all or is it big enough that it’s mostly stationary? Can they use the star drive to move it around like a ship?
The wraith’s plan is truly fascinating. Is it a good idea? Should they be doing this? It does seem like there are parts of this that weren’t really thought through.
And in the end it was all a ruse because the wraith just wanted to find Earth! Will they get there? Will they eat everyone on Earth?
