SG Fun: A Stargate Podcast

Season 3 Episode 12: The Devil You Know The last episode might not have totally done it for Sam since she, Jack, Daniel, and even rescuee Pappy Selmak were actually all captured by the alive and imprisoned Apophis. The dream is over, Sam. Also the nightmare is on because they’re all in discredited Recovered Memory Therapy, where they have to drink devil’s blood and spill their business. And it see...

Season 3 Episode 11: Jolinar's Memories Oh shit! Jacob/Selmak is in Hell/Sokar! The only one to ever escape Sokar is…wait for it…wait for it…yes! That’s correct! JOLINAR. Did Sam mention she was Jolinar for a hot second? This is a dooblay win for Carter as she doesn’t have to keep reminding everyone about her Jolinar bullshit, and she gets to use said BS to save Papa Selmak who’s been a real shit...

Season 3 Episode 11:  Past and Present   Just kidding; slut shaming is for losers. So everyone on some planet has amnesia, right? But there’s a couple from the planet on the show, right? And is that a good idea? Just hooking up without knowing your base relationships with other people? Hey, I’m just asking questions. The Gate Gang’s main contact, Ke’ra, seems to get it as she’s gearing up to shoot...

Season 3 Episode 10: Forever in a Day OK, so for some reason two Goooldies having a human sex-made baby creates some fucking magic. And for some reason they’ve never tried this or oopsied this before Apophis and Sha’re? Anyhoozles, that’s what’s up and now she’s dead and Daniel is searching for her magic baby instead of  for her, so he’s around honoring this dying wish of hers. Sarah won’t miss TV...

Season 3 Episode 9:  Rules of Engagement Hashtag False God Apophis got real desperate for soldiers and Earth destroyers before he died, leaving a band of child warriors for the Gate Gang to stumble into. To be fair, half were dressed like SGX, a totally non-existent thing, and so like, a totally perf trap. Say, did you all know corn and cotton are indigenous to North America? That knowledge may sa...

Season 3 Episode 8:  Demons “They” is Sarah and Tory and good listeners, you will hear that gin is a one-at-a-time recording juice for these two goons. The question of this one is To Savior or Not to Savior for Jack. Jack saviors in the end, but for some reason is reluctant about it this one time. This one time when he practically gets to be Jesus. OK. Hey, real quick, did you all know Sam also wa...

Season 3 Episode 7:  Deadman Switch OK, so the Gate Gang waltzes (they are so casual all the time) right into bounty hunter 1980s Flash Gordon’s trap! Flash is funny as hell, sort of super rogue Jack O’Neill, making this episode extra fun. They’re supposed to nab a Goooldy in exchange for their freedom, but dude is Tok’ra! But guess what? They devise an Everybody Wins in the End scenario, the end....

Season 3 Episode 6: Point of View Yikes! Sam Prime meets Other Dimension Sam and their biggest problem with all of that is Sam Prime’s unladylike short hair. Long hair makes Sam Part Deux all kinds of weepy. (To be fair, her husband COLONEL MUTHERFUCKING JACK O’NEILL just died in battle.) Interdimensional (still) evil Teal’c has a soul patch, in keeping with what we all know about Interdimensional...

Season 3 Episode 5: Learning Curve Jack bonds with yet another kid and takes this shit next level with a kidnapping and hanging out on an elementary school playground.  He also tests just how far subordination can stretch and finds it can go all the way to major crimes without snapping.   He is a very slow learner.  But also, the script gives him a win with an indirect saving of their souls. Wow....

Season 3 Episode 4: Legacy Daniel somehow ends up with Ma’chello’s marbles and it makes him actually seem to go mad, all padded room style. Turns out it’s just some pandemic in the making that Sam and Fraij solve or kill or cure. (Where are these two geniuses at now and like, in 2020?) Too bad they destroy this virus that Ma’chello made to pandemmy all over the Gooolds, huh? That’s a pretty short-...

Season 3 Episode 3:  Fair Game Something like three spicy Gooolds show up for a Gooold-to-hoooman treaty party hosted by the Asgards (who are reprehensible in their application of the Prime Directive. Like, Thor is just using it to fuck with Jack.) Since the Gooolds engage in foul play against each other, the hooomans win this one and Earth will not be annihilated. Phew! (Asterisk: they are offici...

Season 3 Episode 2:  Seth In a true art imitates life situation, a Fabio-haired, mustachioed man leads a cult just outside of Seattle and some people take him seriously. (You have Google if you need it.) Women under Seth’s spell are all sex slaves while men get all kinds of jobs but also their nuts hacked off. So. Coincidences abound and SG-1 manages somehow to be anti-Fed with the Feds already on...

Season 3 Episode 1:  Into the Fire Early Retirement Teal’c is bored of golfing and seeking his second chapter via rabble rousing, but he really sucks at inspiring through speeches.  So like two people sign on to his Kill the False Gods Brigade. But hey! At least Daddy came to see him speak…and to rescue SG-1 after all. Hathor dies an Emperor Palpatine death, so like, maybe she’s only mostly dead....

Season 2 Episode 22: Out of Mind I mean, Daniel’s hair may not be the first thing we see in this episode, but it certainly the most notable. Teal’c tells a joke and learns he has no friends at all when no one even gives a charitable guffaw. Or maybe that happens in the first episode of season three, the conclusion of this episode. This two-parter is a blur for me. The gang relive some weird shit v...

Season 2 Episode 21: 1969 Teal’c wears plush purple bell bottoms and he wears the hell out of them. The Gate Gang is thrown back in time due to a solar flare and amazing timing. They have to journey their way out of this mess; but, get a load of this, DADDY HAMMOND KNEW ALL ALONG. What the ever-loving shit is that? He gives Sam a piece of paper he’s just been carrying around while waiting to see h...

Season 2 Episode 20: Show and Tell First and foremost, they did get another mention of the episode “Spirits” into this one; they’re obvi proud of that one. But don’t worry, it was just used to illustrate what a good guy Jack is. Kind like a savior. ----more---- 00:00 - Intro 3:49 - 24 Seconds 5:39 - Recap 58:11 - Were We Comforted 1:00:06 - Yeh Neh or Meh 1:04:11 - Next Episode 1:05:44 - ComeTrya!...

Season 2 Episode 19:  One False Step Jesus Jumping Christ, I don’t know about you, but this season has WAY too many of this episode. Don’t upset the “primitives,” whom you don’t understand, Gate Gang. Amazingly, Dr. Frazier *doesn’t* find “some kind of virus,” but she suspects one, of course, even though she can find “nothing physically wrong.” Sam saves the day without making a whole thing of it....

Season 2 Episode 18: Serpent's Song Yeah, that shit really *is* pretty dark. I mean, the Gate Gang condemns two lives in one to perhaps an eternity of horrible torture and repeated death, but kind of in an oopsie doodles sort of way. But let’s not dwell in the shadows: This episode is amazing to watch! Like a little movie. Apophis is a huge dickhead, but then so is “good guy” Lantesh. Humans (read...

Season 2 Episode 17:  Holiday So in this one Daniel finds out what it’s like to be entered without consent. They go to this world with one guy on it, a very old man who's been sleeping in a Michael Jackson machine waiting for some idiots to show up. He tricks Daniel into changing bodies with him, but no one believes Daniel until they do and they chase this guy down, but not until he acts like a fi...

Season 2 Episode 16:  A Matter of Time SG-10 is toast, getting eaten by a big black hole on their first mission as a team! Jack makes this all about him because he cannot stand to let the team go. It turns out he recommended their commander for the post, but also that the commander reminds him of Sam. Ohhhhh, what! No way, Sam likes Dianne? I mean, Jack likes Sam? That’s Air Force Illegal! Anyhooz...

Season 2 Episode 15: The Fifth Race  Is Jack Special Forces or Gomer Pyle? He derp-a-derps his way over to a horror flower, stays after it moves toward his face, and gets face-sucked by it. And like everyone in the Gate Gang is fuh-reeking out. Dr. Frazier continues to give compromised people the medical all-clear, but even so, Jack is soon speaking an unfamiliar language and playing Mr. Wizard…or...

Season 2 Episode 14:  Touchstone This one has it all: secret government agencies doing evil shit, Krippendorf’s (problematic) Tribe, and instantaneous catastrophic climate change! As a bonus, they somehow slip in even more anti-indigenous racism despite this episode’s affected tribe being lots of white people. Also, Teal’c goes to his podcatcher of choice and gives us five stars and a glowing revi...

Season 2 Episode 13:  Spirits Oh my stars and Holy Hannah why didn’t we just skip this one? In summary, Hard Racism. And O’Neill does pointedly smell his hands a couple of times; weird. Please support Federal Recognition for the Duwamish Tribe; and, especially if you live on Duwamish land, consider paying them rent at www.realrentduwamish.org ----more---- 00:00 - Intro 4:30 - 24 Seconds 5:17 - Rec...

Season 2 Episode 12: The Tokra Part 2 Oh! Did I mention last time that the Gang is being held by the Tok’ra until they can safely make it off-world to their next hiding place? Sam’s dad might die without saying goodbye, the smartest Tok’ra’s host is also dying, and the Tok’ra evacuation is interrupted by Goa’uld attack! In conclusion you probably guessed that Jacob becomes the new host, the Tok’ra...

Season 2 Episode 11:  The Tok'ra part 1 Oy vey, Sam still won’t shut up about how cool she is now that she’s got Tok’ra memories and shit and a little bit of superpowers. The Gate Gang goes to a planet based on her memories and finds the Tok’ra, a group of (WE ARE NOT) Goa’uld who claim to be Team Resist with all voluntary hosts. Sam is about to get it on with her Tok’ra’s mate when Daniel, clearl...
