Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast

SURPRISE! It's our first very special episode where we have watched the 2011 Michael Shanks Christmas movie, The Christmas Lodge. As far as Christmas movies go, this one is fine. But, we never get to actually see these two people fall in love. They tell us that has happened, but we never get to see it. There are just general timeline issues with this movie that could use some work. Still, it's fin...

Let's talk season 6! All the highs and lows. Who was the Best Dressed? What are our favorite episodes? And who had the Best Kiss? And remember it'll all be okay because, "Look everybody! He's got Coombs with him!" Don't forget to check back on our Threads account ( https://www.threads.net/@sg_rewatch ) to vote in the polls and let us know what you think of our choices. What are some of your favori...

We've reached the season 6 finale, Full Circle. An episode that could have been a series finale if need be. The conversation between Jack and Daniel in the elevator at the SGC is the best thing ever because it's how friends actually talk and have conversations. But what exactly has Daniel been doing while he's been ascended because the fact that he hasn't met anyone besides Oma is quite strange. W...

Hang on to your butts, folks. Things get a little weird with Prophecy. We're live and in person! And with a special guest(s)! And we had margaritas!   As we learn about Lord Mot, it brings back up the question of which came first - the System Lord or the god they impersonated? When a person starts having prophetic visions, the context is very important. Why exactly would Hammond just spill the inf...

On this week's episode, we have a very special guest to discuss the episode Memento (not the movie). It's Rachael's nephew Adam!! This is only the second episode ever that Adam has seen. And he has opinions on Teal'c. It's interesting that the Prometheus while an Air Force staffed vessel is using Naavl protocol. Why didn't the Prometheus have the necessary parts to repair the thing that makes the...

Is Teal'c the titular Changeling in this week's episode? Either way, this episode is excellent and it's always nice to have Daniel Jackson back on our screens. Do people actually get called Probie in real life or is it a TV thing? The best thing in this episode is all the transitions between the two dream worlds. They are so smooth and so good. It's a crime that Martin didn't win an award for this...

For some reason, Forsaken is the one episode Rachael actually remembers! But does she? If the people from Hebridan are descended from the Celtic people, what does that mean as far as when that happened? Was Ra the first for the last goa'uld to take people from Earth? They finally take back-up with them!! It's about time. Also, getting Reynard to just send them back to the SGC is such a power move...

This week we're getting things done commentary style for the season 6 clip show Disclosure. As far as clip shows go, this one is pretty good because there's an actual plot supporting all the clips. There's also commentary on the commentary, just to confuse everyone a little more. So, grab a snack, grab a drink, and get ready to hit play as you watch along with us! INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch THREADS: SG...

Turns out The Wilhelm Scream is not yet in the public domain! But that has nothing to do with Nirrti's return in Metamorphosis. There is, however, once again, a severe lack of appropriate quarantine protocols when dealing with aliens. We also end with some discussion about the lack of personality that was given to Jonas. He's fine, but there's not much beyond him being smart and a nice guy. INSTAG...

Jack and Maybourne get stranded in Paradise Lost because, SURPRISE, Maybourne lied. Again. This episode has that problem Stargate sometimes does where the ending is very abrupt. It all comes down to the circles. They could fix it with one sentence from Jonas, though. And Rachael has the greatest idea ever for a Maybourne-centric spin-off: The Maybourne Identity. Why would Maybourne think an "invit...

This week there are both Smoke AND Mirrors as Jack is accused of assassinating Senator Kinsey. Was anyone else hoping for a quick Daniel cameo when he was mentioned as being one that had a working mimic device? But of course, this whole thing comes down to money. Nobody ever said protecting Earth had to be a non-profit business. And Kinsey's not even dead anyway. Every part of this was just full o...

And now possibly the dumbest episode of Stargate - Sight Unseen. So many plotholes and stuff that just happens for reasons. They really need to stop bringing stuff back to the SGC without knowing what it is or what it does. Seriously. But this does raise an interesting question - does Jonas have the ATA gene? What was your "First is the worst…" playground chant? There's some interesting ones out t...

Why exactly is Unnatural Selection a Part 2 paired with Prometheus? They really don't have anything to do with each other. Why didn't SG1 try to negotiate for a new ship or some tech or something in exchange for helping with the Replicator problem? Where is Al's dead body??? Has everyone completely forgotten that Al was shot in the stomach and died onboard the X303?  Why was the Prometheus Project...

Earth finally has a ship! It's called Prometheus. And it gets hijacked way too easily. Also, if this reporter thinks Prometheus is a large reactor, why not just show her a reactor? Why show her what Prometheus actually is? Even though background checks were done on the crew, their bags and equipment should have still been inspected. This episode might just cause us to bring back memos!   Apologies...

In Cure, we have some issues with the timeline as far as Pangar's history with the gate and just how much time passes within this episode. The introduction of Tretonin is interesting and does lead to some fascinating plot points in the future, but this episode just has a few too many plot holes and contradictions for us to really enjoy it.  How do you guys feel about a goa'uld symbiote being used...

An invisible assassin finally brings the Tok'ra and Jaffa together in Allegiance. And once they know the assassin is invisible, why does everyone just keep shooting into the air at something they can't see? Don't get us wrong, Jack looks super cool with that massive machine gun in slo-mo. But what he's doing is completely pointless. And just where is the rest of the Alpha Site? INSTAGRAM: sg_rewat...

It's time for The Other Guys to get in on the fun this week as they attempt to rescue SG1! Unnecessarily. But it's okay because he's got Coombs with him! Is there actually a goa'uld manufacturing planet somewhere that makes all their stuff? How is there still no password or passphrase for Tok'ra and rebel Jaffa to identify themselves as true allies and not someone just faking it? How much of that...

It's an interesting episode with the SGC on the other side of the table of people asking for technological help to fight a war in Shadow Play. The Kelownans actually convert their units of weight to Earth units! And we love it! But somehow they also know what schizophrenia is. The reveals of all the things that Dr. Kieran is hallucinating are very well done and Corin really does an excellent job a...

It's time for the acting juggernaut that is Abyss. Just put Rick and Michael in a room and watch 'em go. The commentary and Director's Production Diary special feature have lots of really cool technical background on how the sets for this episode worked. Has the goa'uld designer finally be identified?? The SGC seems to finally be fed up with the non-existent reciprocal relationship with the Tok'ra...

Nightwalkers gives us our first episode without any of the characters from the original Stargate movie. Can the team keep it together without Jack? Of course they can! They have Sam! Where do you guys stand on dipping fries in milkshakes? Is it delicious or gross? We also really like the way Jonas's character is being developed during these beginning episodes and showing how intelligent he is but...

There is no singing on this week's Frozen because it's not a Disney movie. Also, Kerri and Rachael got to record together in person this week! Somehow, a woman who is several million years old has the perfect 90s eyebrows. We like the plot of this episode and how all the things develop between the discovery of Ayiana and the illness that spreads among the SGC members. We do wish we had been able t...

In Descent, Jonas is finally off on his first mission! But, is he? Where were they going at the end of last week's episode then? Luckily, this episode does not have replicators but it does have ninjas! And Major Davis! Them getting Thor out of the computer was way too easy and simple. That was definitely something that needed more explanation that Sam was sure all of Thor was in there. Do you guys...

The Lost Season of Jonas Quinn continues with Redemption, Part 2. Will Sam pull a crazy idea out of her butt and save the SGC (and the world)? This episode finally delivers the McKay we all know and love from future episodes. The casual nature with which Jonas helps solve the problem is really interesting. Rya'c is a really, really good shot with the weapons on a death glider. The end of this epis...

We're back!! And it's time to start Season 6 (aka the Lost Season of Jonas Quinn) with Redemption, part 1. And everyone is back! Bra'tac! Rya'c! McKay! Do you guys have any favorite movie or TV commentaries? There are some awesome ones out there. LOOK OVER THERE! We need a shopping montage of Teal'c taking Jonas shopping for Earth clothes. Will Jonas be the new audience surrogate as the guy who as...

It's time for our Season 5 Wrap-up! We discuss everything and anything that happened in Season 5. We learn that Rachael has a special place in her heart for creepy but romantic Ascended Beings and Kerri really is gonna miss the Tollan. Well, Narim at least… Also, Meridian is just the best. Head over to our Discord (link below) and let us know if you agree with our picks and what you would choose a...
