Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast

Stargate reaches another SciFi trope as Sam gets taken over by a "computer" in Entity. There is also much discussion of memos actually on the show. They do get memos!! And what exactly is the entity? Is it one singular consciousness or many operating as one? TWITTER: @SG_Rewatch INSTAGRAM: sg_rewatch EMAIL: woosgrewatch@gmail.com

LISTEN TO THE COMMENTARY FOR THIS EPISODE! IT'S SO GOOD! THERE ARE LYRICS TO THE STARGATE THEME SONG!!  The namesake Prodigy, Jennifer Hailey, however, is not so great. She definitely has a giant chip on her shoulder. And we're not entirely sure she's learned her lesson at the end of this. There is also more conflict between the scientists and the military personnel to deal with.   TWITTER: @SG_Re...

If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, depression, or suicide, please reach out for help. We care and we know there are people that want to help.  Directory of International Mental Health Helplines: https://www.helpguide.org/articles/therapy-medication/directory-of-international-mental-health-helplines.htm   There's a light over at the abandoned goa'uld palace… This week on The L...

In Absolute Power, Shifu teaches Daniel a very important lesson - man cannot be trusted with anything important because they will fuck it up. Send us your fanfic on how this would have gone if Sam or Hammond had been the one to receive Shifu's knowledge.  What sort of content, aside from posts when episodes go live, would you like to see from us on Instagram? Let us know! TWITTER: @SG_Rewatch INST...

In 2010, things are quite a bit different. There are transporters and the gate is out in the open! But how much does a ticket to Chulak cost? How quickly did the whole infertility thing happen? What would you have wanted to bring back from SG1's 2010?   TWITTER: @SG_Rewatch INSTAGRAM: sg_rewatch EMAIL: woosgrewatch@gmail.com

Stargate SG1 is leaving Netflix as of November 30, but is now available as part of Amazon Prime.  In Chain Reaction, Hammond's "retirement" sets off a series of events that lead to Maybourne's freedom? Jack's snark is in peak form this week with both Maybourne and Kinsey to play off of.  TWITTER: @SG_Rewatch EMAIL: woosgrewatch@gmail.com

Apophis is back and up to his old shenanigans in The Serpent's Venom. Did you know that Daniel is very smart and can translate text in two minutes that other people have been trying to translate for years? We introduce a new segment: Shower Thoughts From Kerri! We also have listener feedback that gives a whole new perspective on Beneath the Surface.  TWITTER: @SG_Rewatch EMAIL: woosgrewatch@gmail....

Osiris returns to life this week in The Curse! The misdirect is a little too obvious, though, in this episode. Dr. Fraiser manages to synthesize a goa'uld tranquilizer and it's never mentioned or used ever again. And just how long was Sarah Osiris?  Joe Mallozzi had an idea for a follow-up episode featuring Steven that never came to fruition but sounds really cool and we want to see it! And we fin...

THE GOA'ULD ARE REAL! AND THEY LIVE IN AUSTRALIA!! Maybe…. They're called Worm Goby down there. What was it that caused the recall device to be activated? Why do we never get to hear Sam's plan until it's time for the plan to be put into action? They use the word nudge a lot in this episode. Joy paper!! And another round of live Googling… TWITTER: @SG_Rewatch EMAIL: woosgrewatch@gmail.com

Aliens have come to Earth this week in Point of No Return. What does Jack do during his downtime? RIP to Willie Garson. You were amazing as Martin. We also get a bit of an art history lesson and learn more about The Thinker. Why, when weird stuff happens, does SG1 dismiss the possibilities so quickly? THEY WORK WITH ALIENS.  Also, let us know if you have any Wormhole X-Treme drinking games.  TWITT...

In Beneath the Surface everyone is literally dirty hot. And we're not mad at it. But who exactly were all the workers before they were sent down? Were they possibly criminals and this is the new jail? What exactly is the backstory of this society where they decided enslaving part of the population was the route to go?

Scorched Earth is actually a divisive episode this week for us. Kerri likes it, Rachael not as much. All the questions that get asked at the end really should have been asked at the beginning. With a project like the Enakaran relocation, did they ever meet General Hammond?  We also finally get some feedback on the Jack/Sam moments we may have missed over the years and an explanation about Jack's u...

We finally make it to Kerri's favorite episode with The First Ones! You also gotta give it up to Dion Johnstone for his portrayal of Chaka in this episode cos he knocked it out of the park. (But he does seem to be bad luck for SG-11…) If anybody out there might know why Jack calls for Sierra Gulf One One Niner when he's trying to get ahold of SG-11, please let us know why Jack says niner. Because...

This week on Watergate, we switch things up with Rachael taking the lead as Kerri is freshly back from vacation. The Russians have a Stargate?!?! There is much discussion about how to determine which gate is the main gate and how the DHD plays into that vs. the SGC's power source for the gate. And this is a conversation we will return to in the episode 48 Hours (we think). What reports did the Rus...

It's finally time! Window of Opportunity is here! Find out why our podcast is named after this episode and learn about our new nightclub venture. What question was Daniel asking Jack in the commissary? Thinking about how time travel works always ends up hurting my brain. How do you think Teal'c answers the phone? What's your favorite off-loop activity that Jack and/or Teal'c do? Be sure to stay tu...

To be honest upfront, we do not like Divide and Conquer. At all. The zatarc plotline could have been interesting if they'd had more time to develop it. Sadly, we just don't get the whole Jack/Sam of this episode. Where did it come from? Why is it here? Do you get it? Can you please explain it to us? Why did it have to be Martouf? We like Martouf. Farewell, Freya. It was interesting having you arou...

On Crossroads, we learn that Jack is actually Teal'c's apprentice! Also, Jaffa can communicate with their symbiotes. What games do you think Teal'c and Shau'nac stayed up all night playing? Unfortunately, the Tok'ra screw over Earth once again. Tanith really wasn't playing things as close to the vest as he should have.  Also, go watch Stonehenge Apocolypse. 

SG1 are superheroes this week on Upgrades! Jack is starting to get real tired of the Tok'ra who come calling and we just give in to whatever they want. The whole experiment around the armbands seems to be missing some parameters. Like, how do you take it off? How long is the experiment going to go on for? Also, steak….. And never bet against Amanda in a game of pool.  Kerri's YouTube Channel: http...

Stargate got it right this week with The Other Side. But the SGC may have not because how did a discussion about what to do in this situation not happen before now? This is probably also one of the most important episodes in Jack and Daniel's relationship. 

It's time to start Season 4 with Small Victories! We get the introduction of Teal'c's chin worm and they got to film on an actual Russian sub. The Asgard want OUR help? Sam is just dumb enough for the task! Why haven't the Replicators figured out how to toss their blocks as a type of projectile weapon? Can any Replicator become a queen? 

It's our Season 3 Wrap-Up! Where Rachael and I actually agree on almost everything. Also, sorry for the Glee talk. We play some games, talk about the Best-Ofs, and what Jack would have done if he hadn't joined the SGC. Plus, General Hammond as Austin Powers? And check our Twitter for polls to vote and see if you agree with us!

In Nemesis, it's Thor and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day as we finally meet the enemy that has been such a scourge to the Asgard - the Replicators! Why exactly is Thor dying? What happened to him? Is it also appendicitis? Are the little wings on the Replicators used for communication or something else? Teal'c also has one of his greatest lines when he declares, "One small step for J...

It's time to meet Daniel's grandfather in Crystal Skull! No, not the Indiana Jones movie. And just like every sci-fi show where someone is "invisible," what exactly are the rules of that? Did you know there are flavors of leptons? There are so many excellent quips and one-liners this week. The way Nick plays being able to hear and see Daniel but not believing Daniel is actually there is just fanta...

With us to discuss Maternal Instinct is our very good friend Karen! We finally get SG1 asking for back-up!! We also create a new spin-off: Law & Order: Chulak. Someone make the t-shirt! And with three Vancouver Actor's BINGO squares being marked off this week, does anyone have BINGO yet? Sadly, we're still no closer to figuring out what "Because it is so clear, it takes a longer time to realize it...

The events of New Ground probably should have happened before and it's interesting that it hasn't happened more. If Nefertum had been on the show, who should be cast to play him? Nyan is really such a good guy and it's a shame we never saw him again.
