Silvana, Tegan, and Eric watch the 1999 version of "The Mummy". To Silvana and Tegan's surprise and delight, Eric had not seen this movie before, or if he did, he did not remember it. Much to Eric's dismay, he probably wishes he still couldn't remember.  The three discuss how this movie can't decide what it wants to be: horror, comedy, thriller? Tegan and Silvana basque in the nostalgia while Eric...

Silvana and Eric watch and discuss Season 7, Episode 2 of Stargate SG-1. This is the final episode with Jonas Quinn for a while, and has us returning to his planet to save it from Anubis.    The Kelowna Beanie Baby Market may have never crashed. Jonas should get on that.  Comedic Effect - 4/7 Chevrons Emotional Impact - 3/7 Chevrons Enjoyability - 5/7 Chevrons Culture/history/lore - 5/7 Chevrons N...

Please let us know what you thought of this season and which episodes were your favorites and least favorites.

Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch the season finale of season 6 (Season 6 Episode 22), which was a potential series finale for Stargate SG-1. What a phenomenal episode! ⁃ This was a really great episode that generated a lot of great discussion, not to mention wrapping up the Abydos storyline. The hosts celebrate (almost) 5 years of the podcast and Eric claims he's been here the whole time! The hosts s...

Silvana and Eric watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 21 "Prophecy." Jonas isn't well, and he's seeing into the future. What will the SG-C be able to do about it, and can he prevent the deaths of SG-1 in time? Eric and Silvana find it refreshing that they believe Jonas immediately when he provides them with evidence, instead of doubting him, like they normally do. Tegan was sorely missed for this...

Silvana and Tegan review the HBO Series "His Dark Materials." The host talk through all 3 seasons of the TV series and compare to the book series. They also talk favorite characters and moments. There was a lot to cover and we definitely missed some things so please tell us what you think and what else you love about the show or other criticisms you may have. We rated this show a 7 in all of our c...

Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch Stargate: SG-1 Season 6 Episode 20 "Memento." It's agreed among the hosts that this episode should have been called "Going To Other Planets." Stargate goes for a bit of a Star Trek feel with bringing back the Prometheus. Jack isn't acting like himself, again, and isn't respecting the established hierarchy of the ship. An interesting dynamic is established with the Tag...

Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch Stargate SG1: Season 6 Episode 19 "The Changeling." This is the second episode written by Christopher Judge and the hosts enjoyed it much more than the first episode he wrote ("The Warrior"). This episode is really a firefighting ad for a bit of the episode as Teal'c is living an alternate life in a dream state as a fireman. Teal's is switching between 2 dream lives,...

Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch Stargate SG1 Season 6 Episode 18 "Forsaken." Jack apparently forgot he is an amateur astronomer and no longer trusts strangers who have a chain of command (maybe because this alien is hitting on Sam?). You should definitely know to be suspicious of aliens flirting with you right away. This episode features Celtic peoples who have been kidnapped by the goa'uld. It also...

Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch the 2003 Film "Timeline."  The hosts described this movie as jurassic park for archeologists instead of paleontologists. Eric Bana was dreamy as always in this intellectual movie made by non-intellectual people. The battle scene in this movie also really stood out. Silvana and Tegan educate on the problematic history of the depiction of consent in Hollywood.  Overall,...

Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 17 "Disclosure," a truly uninventive recap episode. However, a good jumping off point to talk about the culture and media of the early 2000s.  In this episode, The SGC invites leaders from various nations to disclose to them the Stargate Program. Senator Kinsey is there to try to convince them that the NID would be a better organization...

Silvana and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 16 "Metamorphosis," which should switch it's name with the episode "Bane." Nirrti is up to her shenanigans again but is now changing people's genomes to try to make a Hok'tar. She has convinced a group of people that she is their god and can heal them and give them special powers.  This episode highlights once again that Jack hates Russians, h...

Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 15 "Paradise Lost." The bromance between Jack and Colonel Maybourne is back with a vengeance. The queerbaiting is off the charts from the very beginning with the hot dog jokes. Maybourne springs his new plan to avoid being imprisoned and convinces the SGC to authorize a mission to a planet that he claims has a cache of goa'uld weapons. A...

Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 14 "Smoke and Mirrors." In this episode, Jack is framed for Senator Kinsey's attempted assassination using technology from a prior episode "Foothold." Agent Barrett wants to fix the NID from the inside and Sam and him clash on their views of trust in their employers. There is an explosion and Teal'c is being the muscle again.   Episode R...

Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 13 "Sight Unseen," could these "creatures" be the legendary Furlings? This is an earth-based episode where everyone who has come in contact with an Ancient device (or touched a person who has) can see huge "bugs" everywhere. A Veteran's grandma really steals the show in this one. Silvana introduces Eric and Tegan to "Flatland" which a st...

Eric and Tegan are flying solo this week and watched Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 12 "Unnatural Selection." Jonas has another first and meets replicators for the first time. Spoiler alert, there are humanoid replicators now?!  The team has been tasked with helping the Asgard doctor a plot (sadly Silvana wasn't there to help them) to freeze the replicators in time until they came up with a more p...

Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 11 "Prometheus." There's been a leak about the Stargate program, AGAIN! And it's revealed that the Air Force has been cooking up something big underground in the desert - the X303, also known as Prometheus.  Will giving a tour of the Prometheus get the press off their case? Jonas meets as Asgard for the first time if that's any indicatio...

Silvana, Eric, and Tegan discuss the news that a new Stargate show is in the works. They discuss those involved and their hopes about what will be in the new show as well as what they hope DOESN'T make it into this new era of Stargate. Let us know what you are hoping is and is not in this new Stargate show! Join the conversation on our socials.

Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch the original 1979 "Alien." It becomes clear very quickly that Red Dwarf is a spoof of Alien. Alien clearly has had such a huge impact on the genre overall and the hosts felt watching it was worthwhile. This movie also really exhibits the differences between the expectations of 20th century viewers versus 21st century viewers. The hosts share fun facts about the movie'...

Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 10 "Cure."  The hosts start out discussing which bands SG-1 characters would love, unfortunately this is not a crossover episode with the band The Cure. We are back in classic SG-1 style with the costumes, the post-industrial backdrop, archeology, and great character moments.  The emotional moments hit hard and the ethical dilemma was in...

Please enjoy this encore of Our episode on Stargate: SG-1 Season 4 Episode 6 "Window Of Opportunity" which originally aired on February 26, 2024. Silvana and Tegan are joined by their friend Eric for Season 4, Episode 6 "Window of Opportunity". This is a fan and podcast favorite!  Have you ever wondered what Teal'c was doing while Jack was getting up to shenanigans? Find out what everyone's favori...

Silvana, Eric, and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 9 "Allegiance." The Tok'ra and the Jaffa finally team up in this episode, is it everything the podcast hosts hoped it would be? Listen to find out. This episode has another man shooting a gun in a circle...but it has a decidedly different feel that in last week's episode "The Other Guys." Jacob talks to Jack about having a Tok'ra symbio...

Silvana, Eric, and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 8 "The Other Guys." Silvana and Tegan were pleasantly surprised at how OK this episode was and Eric wasn't a big fan of the humor. Jonas Quinn is very quiet in this episode and this episode seems to have been made for Trekkies! Episode ratings: Comedic Effect - 4/7 chevrons Emotional Impact - 2/7 chevrons Enjoyability - 3/7 chevrons Cul...

Silvana, Eric, Tegan and special guest Drew finish Jaws! Make sure to listen to Part 1 prior to this episode. We all highly recommend this movie and feel remains great 50 years later.  Ratings Comedic Effect - 5/7 chevrons Emotional Impact - 7/7 chevrons Enjoyability - 5/7 chevrons Culture/history/lore - 5/7 chevrons Novelty - 7/7 chevrons Technical Quality - 7/7 chevrons Plot - 6/7 chevrons Get c...
