Stargate SG1 - The Road Not Taken
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
Sam is transported to an alternate universe, and we see what could have happened should the Stargate program have been made public in The Road Not Taken. This episode is a fun side quest that hits a little too close to home these days. The casting decisions made to populate the alternate universe are really great. It helps to hit home that something is just a little off as soon as the episode starts. We really like how initially there’s an actual dialogue happening with Sam and Hammond & Lorne about why they need her. It’s nice to see them not going immediately evil and keeping...

Stargate Atlantis - Echoes
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
There’s something a little spooky happening in Atlantis when members of the expedition start seeing visions of the past in Echoes. We really like all of the various character interactions in this episode in addition to the change in vibe. We always enjoy a good mystery. And when we finally get the full story of what’s actually going on, we did not see that coming. We discuss our favorite whales and learn that Orcas aren’t actually whales. We also try to cast the Atlantis members as the Scooby Gang but that doesn’t go as well as we hoped…. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch THREADS:...

Stargate SG1 - Line in the Sand
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
SG1 (minus Daniel) test out Merlin’s phase-shifting device in a big way when they attempt to hide a village from the Ori in Line in the Sand. This whole plan seems a little strange. We can understand how they got there, but when you break it down, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. How do they expect this to be any sort of long-term fix to the Ori problem? We do really like all of the pairings we got in this episode: Mitchell with Sam and Vala with Tomin. It leads to some really amazing character moments, and we’re glad to have some resolution on Vala and Tomin’s relationship. ...

Stargate Atlantis - The Return, Part 2
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
John and his team try to save Atlantis from the Asurans and from being destroyed by the Daedalus while also rescuing General O’Neill and Robert Woolsey in The Return, Part 2. Apologies in advance for the sound going garbly at some points. That was not present during the recording and was only discovered during editing. It’s really great having Jack back in the show. Especially when he’s the Jack we know and love from the earlier seasons of SG1. The “twist” in this episode is really well done and a general plot device we love when employed properly. It’s especially fun here...

Stargate SG1 - The Quest, Part 2
Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast
The trials for the Sangreal continue in The Quest, Part 2. And this episode isn’t really the conclusion you think it is. We’re a little unsure as to the origins of the dragon/wyvern. Where did Morgan get it from? Also, it just blips out of existence at the end, so what is it even real at all? We would like answers to that, please. There also doesn’t seem to really be any reason for Merlin to be so cryptic about what he’s doing. Especially when he leaves his memories for Daniel to complete the task of building a new Sangreal. Why not just tell them what he’s doing and what they’ll...

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...
info_outlineWeir 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.
