Stargate Atlantis - The Return, Part 1
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
The Atlantis expedition finally meets living Ancients and it doesn’t quite go as expected in The Return, Part 1. While the McKay-Carter Intergalactic Gate Bridge is a really awesome idea, there are some questions we have about how it works and how things might go wrong that we wish they would have talked about. While this episode is mostly fine, we do have some major concerns over how the Ancients actually treat the people currently inhabiting Atlantis. So much has changed since the last time the Ancients were in the city. They should want to know what’s been going on. And the city is...

Stargate SG1 - The Quest, Part 1
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
The hunt for Merlin’s weapon is on in earnest as SG1 team up with some unlikely allies in The Quest, part 1. We love the barkeep in the village. She’s amazing and is absolutely perfect for this part. How would you guys fare in a situation such as this? Or in an escape room? We debate if we would rock it or just completely fall apart. It is a little strange that there’s no comment or conversation about trying to help the people stuck in the time dilation field. Even if they can’t do anything in the moment, shouldn’t they want to figure out how to help them later? Do you...

Stargate Atlantis - Phantoms
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Most of John’s team starts losing their minds when they’re trapped off-world with wraith experimental tech this week in Phantoms. We briefly discuss the possible non-cancellation of the new Stargate series. We’re just so confused about what Amazon is doing. The technical decisions that were made to help tell this story are so appreciated. It would be very easy to get lost in what is actually going on, but we were never confused. This episode also has the characters making a lot of smart choices that we love until the circumstances end up getting in their way. Although we do wonder...

Stargate SG1 - Company of Thieves
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
There’s a lot going on this week with SG1’s Company of Thieves, but we’re not sure the result is worth the sum of its parts. There are a few plot holes or missing scenes/dialogue that would help clarify some character choices that were made. It is fun getting confirmation that there are specific planets that were specifically held by the goa’uld to build their ships. Surely, there is a better plan than Mitchell going undercover and just keeping their fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong. Which, of course it will, because TV! We do like all the interactions with Sam, Daniel,...

Stargate Atlantis - McKay and Mrs. Miller
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Rodney and his sister reconnect after not talking for four years in McKay and Mrs. Miller. We are big fans of this episode. It manages to strike a balance in taking the stakes seriously but still has lighter moments, so the overall episode doesn’t feel too heavy. And the ending is just great where everyone agrees that Rod was actually a little creepy and they much prefer their own Rodney McKay instead. We love that they cast David Hewlett’s real-life sister, Kate, as Rodney’s sister because that sibling dynamic is not something that can be faked. Are there any good nicknames...

Stargate SG1 - Memento Mori
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Vala is on the run when her memories are accidentally wiped by The Trust in Memento Mori. We really like this episode. Especially everyone’s treatment of Vala and how they’re actually starting to appreciate her and make her a full member of SG1. We have fun imaging what Teal’c said to Weaver in that interrogation scene and also what Christopher Judge said to the actor. There’s also a brief detour into the fun world of Duolingo and what languages you can actually learn with that program. It’s just too bad they don’t have a course for Diner Speak. As much as we love this...

Stargate Atlantis - Common Ground
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
An old foe finally returns when John is taken by Kolya as a ruse to trade him for Ladon Radim in Common Ground. We still wonder if there will ever be an episode of a show like this where the whole expedition risks everything for Dave from the cafeteria, and just when it’s one of the Big Names at risk. What would you all do if you were in Ladon’s position? It’s not an easy decision because right now the situation is just bad for one person, but if they give in to Kolya’s demands, it would be bad for the whole galaxy. What would your tagline be for a Buddy Cop movie between John and the...

Stargate SG1 - Counterstrike
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
The Jaffa take the battle to the Ori this week in Counterstrike. We get back into discussing interior design (which Ori is responsible for their ships?) and wondering if the SGC actually has a seamstress on staff. If they do, we want to see that series. There is a lot that happens in this episode, and the arrogance of the Jaffa and what they’re doing is rather frustrating. We do appreciate the development of Daniel and Vala’s relationship. And, actually, everyone’s relationship to her. It’s nice to see most of the antagonism starting to drop. Vala and Adria’s relationship is...

Stargate Atlantis - The Real World
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Weir is in a psychiatric hospital and told that the Stargate isn’t real in The Real World. This is not our favorite trope or scifi plot. We always know from the start that what the character is told is the truth isn’t the truth and there’s too much time spent there when we would much rather get to what’s actually happening and spend the episode there. Rodney and Beckett are really fun together in this episode, though. Along with that older lady in the hospital who goes on about the cold-blooded aliens from one of Satrun’s moons.

Stargate SG1 - 200
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
It’s Stargate’s 200th episode, and we’re doing this one commentary style! Grab a drink, grab a snack, and buckle in as we get into all the insanity that is this very special episode. Happy 200 SG1!!

info_outlineUnknown mutated creatures are attacking people off world and on Earth in Uninvited. Are the two related? What’s causing this?
The casualness of the death of all the people that are killed by these creatures is kind of upsetting to us. It just seems like the SGC writes it off as, “Oops. Our bad.” Everyone being so dismissive of Vala is also confusing. She has actual relevant experience in what’s happening and no one wants to even listen to her ideas.
In general, this episode of perfectly fine but there is quite a lot to nitpick. Also, what is the point of this episode? Even back when filler episodes still existed, this one seems to serve no purpose. There’s no character growth; nothing that happens impacts any of the larger story points. We just don’t get it.
As a final discussion point, what would be the worst creature to get infected with one of those parasite things?
