Life Finds a Podcast

Silvana and Tegan watch Season 2, Episode 18, "Serpent's Song". They wanted to like it, they really did. But this heavily character driven episode is missing some panash. Silvana goes so far as to say it is like a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode.  Join us on our Discord for watch parties every other Saturday at 11 AM ET.    

Silvana and Tegan watch both Dune movies (David Lynch and recent release) with Chris and Joe. Chris brings his knowledge of the book series and the ladies explain some of the similiarities with Stargate and other media.  The group agrees that David Lynch's Dune is best used for ASMR and nothing more.  We'll be skipping December 26th for Christmas/Hanukkah holiday! Thank you lovely listeners, for g...

Silvana and Tegan watch Season 2, Episode 17, "Holiday". Daniel Jackson is body swapped with an old man named Ma'chello, who then goes out on the town with Fred and Daniel Jackson's credit card. Michael Shanks also guest stars as Ma'chello. We love this episode of Stargate SG-1! Join us every other Saturday for our watch parties on Discord . Last one of the year is Saturday, December 17. 

Silvana and Tegan watch Season 2, Episode 16 "A Matter of Time". A black hole threatens the SG-C and all of planet Earth. Overall, a really fun episode with a lot of fun time dilation stuff.  Michael Shanks was busy with the new baby, perhaps? As this is a Daniel free episode. 

Silvana and Tegan watch one of their favorite episodes: season 2, episode 15, "The Fifth Race". Jack is whammied by an Ancient repository of knowledge and needs Daniel to translate him. At the end we get a face to face with one of the four ancient races themselves.  Check out our linktree for all the ways to engage with us.  https://linktr.ee/sg1eventhorizon

Silvana and Tegan watch Season 2, Episode 13, "Spirits". Silvana wonders who fired the fateful arrow that took Jack out of commission for the first half of the episode. Sam gets her "first command" but how much of it does she really lead? An interesting intersection of symbiotic cultures leave Tegan and Silvana wanting more details; both enjoy a lot more of this episode than they remembered from p...

Silvana and Tegan watch Season 2, Episode 12, "Tok'ra: Part 2". A continuation of the previous episode where SG-1 meet the Tok'ra and are being held captive until the Tok'ra move on. Silvana and Tegan wonder why are there never any other Tok'ra hosts offered by the SG-C? Did Jacob Carter agree to be a Tok'ra host too readily?  Silvana wonders if there is a requirement for RDA to become Macgyver in...

Silvana and Tegan watch season 2, episode 11, "Tok'ra Part 1". They speculate about the Tok'ra culture and one glaring plothole about their existence.  Why are there no Tok'ra Harsesis children?  Tegan and Silvana drool a bit over Martouf/Lantash... sorry/not sorry.  Do symbiotes poo? Do Wizards? Is " Everybody Poops " a lie? Tegan and Silvana also wonder why the Tok'ra don't have their own versio...

Silvana and Tegan enjoy Season 2, Episode 10, "Bane". In this episode, Teal'c is stung by a giant bug and starts transforming. Things are not looking good for our star when he is rescued by an unlikely heroine.  Join the conversation on Discord . Watch parties every other Saturday at 11 AM ET. 

Silvana and Tegan explain Stargate to Joe. There's a lot he likes and a lot that doesn't make sense to him, but they try their best.  Join the discussion on Discord and our watch parties every other Saturday at 11 AM ET.   

Silvana and Tegan watch and comment on season 2, episode 9, "Secrets". Daniel Jackson returns to Abydos to find his wife pregnant. He's not a happy camper about it; who would be? Sha're certainly isn't either. Silvana and Tegan prefer the B plot that takes place in Washington and appreciate Teal'c's brilliant thinking. They much prefer this Teal'c to the Teal'c of  the previous episode. Join the d...

In Season 2, Episode 8 "Family", Silvana and Tegan watch the follow-up to the episode "Bloodlines", which they covered in "Thanks, I Hate It".  They still hate it, although slightly less, so there's that. This episode comes with Master Bae'tac, a new Mrs. Teal'c, froyo, and one of the best child actors of Stargate. The plot doctors are in! Tegan and Silvana are confused about why Teal'c does not g...

Tegan explains Star Trek to Silvana, including the alphabet soup of shows.  Silvana wonders how the economy of Star Trek works, and discovers there's an entire book on the subject. Who knew?  Is this a show commenting on capitalism, socialism, both, or neither? Is the romance always so bad?  Silvana and Tegan have so many questions for Katharyn Powers.  Tegan drops lots of knowledge about Star Tre...

Silvana and Tegan watch season 2, episode 7, "Message in a Bottle". In this episode, Jack is pinned to the wall in an episode as boring as lepidoptery. Sorry, lepidopterists.  The team must figure out what the ultraviolet substance leaking from a device they brought back to earth is before it kills Jack and destroys the SG-C. Join us on our Discord server to chat and join watch parties. Watch part...

Katharyn Powers strikes again with a great episode in season 2, episode 6: "Thor's Chariot".

Silvana and Tegan read the fan fiction that Silvana wrote for Tegan's birthday. The fan fiction is a partial rewrite of the episode in Season 1 called "Hathor", and it starts the relationship that we all know should have been. If you enjoyed this episode, let us know, so we know if we should share more of the saga on the podcast in the future.  Join us Saturdays at 11 AM ET for watch parties on Di...

Silvana and Tegan watch Season 2, Episode 5: "Need". This addiction allegory is a lot. It's got dating the princess, another Daniel death, and space magic. Daniel also conveniently forgets he has a wife.  Join us on our Discord server at 11 AM ET on Saturdays for watch parties!

Silvana and Tegan watch and discuss Season 2, Episode 4: "Gamekeeper".  Silvana and Tegan put on their plot doctor stethoscopes for this one!  What kind of sickos find the death of Daniel Jackson's parents the most interesting thing in Dr. Jackson's brain? Half of this episode is a Macgyver episode.  Silvana throws some shade at DC this time, Marvel gets a pass. Silvana argues that Daredevil is th...

Why do we tell stories? Tegan and Silvana are joined by Joe and Jenny to discuss why stories are important and how they influence us. Why do we watch Stargate?

SG-1 gets sent to prison after a misunderstanding. They then find a woman scientist who is akin to a magician. Join us for our watch parties on Saturdays at...

We're back, baby!  Silvana and Tegan are joined by Joe again to discuss sexism in media. In addition to discussing plenty of teen movies from the early 2000s, the three discuss how sexism can be negative for men through unreasonable expectations around emotions to limiting them in roles and characteristics.  Of course Stargate SG-1 isn't spared analysis either.  Links 1. Discord server (watch part...
