Episode III: Revenge of the NID ("Sentinel") 03/31/2025

Episode III: Revenge of the NID ("Sentinel") Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 20, “Sentinel”, which is about the Latonans and how they have a regressive technological culture. Silvana talks about some of the other types of technology that have been ‘forgotten’ in history. While Tegan finds this episode boring, Silvana finds some redemption. That does not get the writers off the hook for the massive plot hole they left in though. Join the discussion on our /episode/index/show/sg1eventhorizon/id/35929420

How We Learned to Love the Bomb and Let It Save Us From an Asteroid ("Fail Safe") Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 17 “Fail Safe”. SG-1 and America has to destroy an asteroid on a collision impact with Earth. This one has some great plot twists and a lot of emphasis on American ingenuity.

We have Goa'uld Art! ("The Last Stand") 02/17/2025

We have Goa'uld Art! ("The Last Stand") Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 16, "The Last Stand." This is a continuation of last week's episode called "Summit." You would think the Tok'ra would be the ones making their last stand here against the attack from System Lord Zapacna, but instead, SG-1 is making their last stand here plus Lt. Idiot/Lantash. Jacob and Daniel escape the system lord's mother ship...but not before the goa'uld partake in some cannibalism. We finally have goa'uld (buffet) art! Amazing. So what is next for the Tok'ra? Is Selmak the only one left? Join the discussion on our /episode/index/show/sg1eventhorizon/id/35308700

The One Where Lantash is Resurrected ("Summit") 02/10/2025

The One Where Lantash is Resurrected ("Summit") Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 15, "Summit." For the first time in ages, multiple system lords are meeting and the Tok'ra have conveniently synthesized a symbiote poison. Daniel gets volunteered to go with Jacob to the Summit and pose as Yu's closest human servant using the Reol chemical. Jack, Sam and Teal'c stay behind at Tok'ra base where Lt. Kyle Idiot is on his first mission. Apparently Lantash survived "Divide and Conquer" and blends with Lt. Idiot out of desperation to try to save his life. Daniel is going to use the weapon but, inconveniently, Sarah/Osiris is here and he is understandably hesitant to use it on her. This is a two-parter so stay tuned next week for the conclusion "The Last Stand." Join the discussion on our /episode/index/show/sg1eventhorizon/id/35210555

Teal'c Interrupted (48 Hours) 01/27/2025

Teal'c Interrupted (48 Hours) Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 14, "48 Hours". Teal'c is trapped in the Stargate as an energy signature (classic!) and Dr. Rodney McKay is brought in to consult and be the quintessential asshole. What arc this character has! Join the conversation on our /episode/index/show/sg1eventhorizon/id/35022130

Kyle Idiot's Kobayashi Maru Wet Dream ("Proving Ground") 01/20/2025

Kyle Idiot's Kobayashi Maru Wet Dream ("Proving Ground") Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 13 "Proving Ground". This is a nostalgic favorite for Silvana, but what's up with Lt. Haley being sidelined to a side character? How much brown nosing can Jack take? Is that the lady from Battlestar Galactica? Join the conversation on our /episode/index/show/sg1eventhorizon/id/34931465

Going to Other Planets ("Wormhole X-treme!") 01/17/2025

Going to Other Planets ("Wormhole X-treme!") The day has finally arrived, lovely listeners, when we get to discuss this testament to postmodern television! Martin Lloyd is back and he has written a television show that is eerily reminiscent of the Stargate Program. Silvana and Tegan are excited to be joined by their very special guests Eric and their military advisor, Rob. Where was Katharyn Powers in this episode?

Straight to S Tier! ("2001") 12/16/2024

Straight to S Tier! ("2001") Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 10 "2001" a follow up to Season 4's "2010" one of Silvana's all-time favorite episodes. SG-1 encounter the Aschen, again! Jack's note wasn't specific enough and they meet the Aschen through a people who are seemingly being helped by the Aschen, the Volians. The Aschen make earth an offer for technology that is hard for anyone to refuse. So in the second episode in a row, earth is given an offer that seems too good to be true. And SPOILER ALERT...it is too good to be true! The Senator-Who-Won't-Be-Named is back and is putting his ego on full display. Jack is having none of it. Everyone has a part to play in this episode, even Walter and Hammond are teaming up to figure out of the Aschen are from the off-limits planet.

Kill the Cat Too ("Between Two Fires") 12/09/2024

Kill the Cat Too ("Between Two Fires") Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 9 "Between Two Fires". This is the end of the Tollan storyline and the end of Narim and his cat. Silvana explains Legends of the Hidden Temple to Tegan. The ladies discuss our duties as citizens of a nation and the better downfall of the Tollan via infiltration instead of invasion. Tegan still wants justice for Hebron, and we could have gotten it this time! The ladies also wonder whatever happened to Narim's feelings? Join the discussion on our /episode/index/show/sg1eventhorizon/id/34341080

Just Watch the Mummy Instead (“The Tomb”) 11/25/2024

Just Watch the Mummy Instead (“The Tomb”) Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 8, “The Tomb”. This is not a favorite and is heavily reliant on the drama of the Cold War. Silvana and Tegan come up with several ways this plot could have been more interesting. While dull, this episode does pass the Bechtdel Test. And Peter Deluise directed while no one was bedridden! Congrats, Peter! Join the discussion on our /episode/index/show/sg1eventhorizon/id/34130446

Chaka is the Colonel Now ("Beast of Burden") 11/18/2024

Chaka is the Colonel Now ("Beast of Burden") Silvana and Tegan are joined by Eric, who discusses and his thoughts on Orlin. The three then discuss Season 5, Episode 7 "Beast of Burden".

The Child of Sam and Janet ("Rite of Passage") 11/11/2024

The Child of Sam and Janet ("Rite of Passage") Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 6 "Rite of Passage". This episode brings back the character Cassandra but played by the actress from "Bane". Check out our episode on "" ("The Distant Land of Toronto") and "" ("Get Jeff Goldblum! We've Got A Bug Transformation Problem!"). This episode reminds both ladies of the first X-Men movie. Someone is in a bed the whole episode, so of course Peter DeLuise directs. Join the discussion on our . /episode/index/show/sg1eventhorizon/id/33871502

The Elves of Midgard ("Red Sky") 11/04/2024

The Elves of Midgard ("Red Sky") Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5 Episode 5 "Red Sky", the inferior cousin to "Scorched Earth." SG-1 accidentally messes up a planet's sun, threatening their planet and existence. The people on the planet just happen to believe that the Asgard are their gods and they aren't too ready to be told they worship false gods and need to evacuate the planet. Why didn't Teal'c have something to say about a society worshipping false gods? Why is it always about Jack and Daniel? The Asgard won't help, even though it's pretty unlikely the goa'uld are monitoring this 24/7. We meet the Asgard council for the first time and they aren't the biggest fans of Jack. The science in this episode seemed especially made up, unfortunately even amazingly talented Amanda Tapping couldn't pull off making it seem legit. But of course, everything was fixed in the end...but was it the Tauri, or was it the Asgard? We may never know. Join the discussion on our .

The Reol World ("The Fifth Man") 10/28/2024

The Reol World ("The Fifth Man") Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 4 "The Fifth Man". If only they had made this the fifth episode!! The SG-1 team has a fifth member, or does it? An alien has convinced them that he is an injured member of their team in need of help. Will we ever see this race again??? Absolutely not. What if Simmons was a Reol? Silvana and Tegan come up with a great story line for the Reol race. Spoiler warning for season 1 of Rings of Power. Join the discussion on our .

An Ascended Being Maxed Out My Credit Cards! ("Ascension") 10/21/2024

An Ascended Being Maxed Out My Credit Cards! ("Ascension") Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 3 "Ascension". In this episode an ascended being takes a shine to Sam and hitches a ride home so he can stalk her. If he stalks her long enough, will she love him? YES?! This Sam-centric episode has some great scenes: Teal'c in a cowboy hat, for example. However, even Amanda Tapping's great acting and Jack not into Star Wars can make up for all the scenes in which we are screaming. Silvana learns what she's supposed to say back to "live long and prosper". Tegan is shamed for not bringing a towel places. Silvana proposes having an onsite therapist at the SG-C for crewmembers and psychological analyses of aliens they encounter. What do you think? Join the discussion on our . Apologies for some of the background noise. There is a construction zone at Silvana's house that is thankfully over now! We'll now be back to our regularly scheduled episodes every Monday. Fan letters were saved until the end since we dove right into this episode. We couldn't stop ourselves. Thank you for your patience, lovely listeners! /episode/index/show/sg1eventhorizon/id/33534337

The Exorcism of Teal'c ("Threshold") 09/30/2024

The Exorcism of Teal'c ("Threshold") Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 2 "Threshold". Silvana questions if Bae'tac has a life insurance policy out on Teal'c after this episode. Tegan does not recommend candles around oxygen tanks. Just a PSA for our lovely listeners. How does no one at the SG-C know Lord of the Rings well enough to recognize the name Va'lar? As usual, the ladies ask the hard hitting questions. Join the discussion or check out our season rankings on our . We will be returning October 14 with our next episode! /episode/index/show/sg1eventhorizon/id/33255027

A Tease of An Episode ("Enemies") 09/23/2024

A Tease of An Episode ("Enemies") Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 1 "Enemies". This is the second part of a three parter, that the ladies are not fans of. Silvana and Tegan brainstorm some better storylines where the main drive of the plot isn't Teal'c being brainwashed. This episode gets the highest marks yet for technical quality.

No Baby-Seeding Needed (Star Trek Voyager, "Blink of an Eye") 09/16/2024

No Baby-Seeding Needed (Star Trek Voyager, "Blink of an Eye") Silvana and Tegan watch Season 6, Episode 12 of Star Trek Voyager, "Blink of An Eye". This has been quite a journey for Tegan, who has agonized over which episode to show Silvana to convince her that Star Trek can be good, actually. Did Silvana enjoy the episode? Listen and find out!

"Must Preserve", That's What Love Means - Season 4 Tier Ranking 09/09/2024

"Must Preserve", That's What Love Means - Season 4 Tier Ranking Silvana and Tegan discuss the tier ranking for Season 4 of "Stargate SG-1." There are some obvious episodes, like "Window of Opportunity" or "Point of No Return". Sorry, we were too late with our "Jane the Virgin" warning; you'll just have to find it somewhere else. Episodes with Jack/Sam romance immediately lose ranking. Silvana and Tegan take Sophia's opinions into consideration when deciding where to put "Entity". Surprisingly, "The First Ones" was a bigger hit than anticipated. Check out the tier ranking and other links on our . /episode/index/show/sg1eventhorizon/id/32964847

Justice for Hebron! (Exodus) 08/26/2024

Justice for Hebron! (Exodus) Silvana and Tegan watch Season 4, Episode 22 "Exodus" and discuss how Stargate SG-1 is veering into a more pure sci-fi style, and Silvana is not a fan of it. Another thing the hosts are not a fan of - the Tok'ra. The Tok'ra train has derailed into an alternate dimension at this point. The Tok'ra know Tanith (using Hebron as a host) is a spy but the whole spy business it just handled in the most ridiculous and frankly awful way. The Tok'ra used the host Hebron in a very goa'uld way by just using him for their own ends. This is the episode where Samantha Carter blows up a sun, and what a waste to do that in this episode. Stay tuned next week for our tier rankings...this one will be in a low tier for certain... Check out our instagram and other links on /episode/index/show/sg1eventhorizon/id/32733257

Revenge of the Comtrayans (Double Jeopardy) 08/19/2024

Revenge of the Comtrayans (Double Jeopardy) Silvana and Tegan watch Season 4, Episode 21 "Double Jeopardy" and answer the question what does this have to do with the game show "Jeopardy"? This episode is Michael Shanks's directorial debut and features the actor who plays Lurch in the Addams Family. Harlan is back! He really does not understand what SG-1 does.
