Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast

What was the full speech that Daniel never got to give to the Tollan High Council as Jack just had to go and mess things up in Shades of Grey. We also shamelessly steal from the Cobra Guys and do a little Stargate Theater! Who was a better Jack or Daniel? Vote now! Why does Michael insist on flirting with everyone? It's very distracting. We finally know how the Goa'uld communication ball devices w...

After a brief recap of Creation's Salute to Stargate convention this past weekend, we get into discussing Jack's A Hundred Days on Edora. It has been decided that Shane Meier is now part of Vancouver Actors BINGO, so update your cards! Why didn't Garan tell his mother about the caves? Should this episode have been a two-parter? And more thinking too hard about how the gate works from a technical p...

RIP Dom DeLuise. No one could have played Urgo as well as you. We still have many, many questions about pre-mission research of planets before sending people there. Do you like pie? Cos Jack LOVES it. Death or Urgo. Urgo or death. Cake or death? What if Urgo is alive? Also! Kerri will be at the Creation Stargate Con in Chicago this weekend! Come find her and say hi!

More spellcheck-based fun facts this week on Pretense. There's also overthinking how the Stargate actually works. Zipacna has some gall to try and insist nothing of the host survives given what's happening at Triad. Also, Narim is super horny for Sam. Was Klorel's capture all a deceptive plot to get onto Tollana and destroy them? 

Aliens once again invade the SGC with a Foothold situation. Does the SGC have a dry cleaner on base? Are we sure the SGC doesn't want to keep people in? Because it should… There are also just some general security plotholes that can break your brain if you think about it too much. Sam also makes the leap to the aliens having a live connection to their SG counterpart way too quickly without really...

Apophis is back in The Devil You Know. But he's really not good at interrogation torture. Have the Tok'ra seen Star Wars? What exactly did Sokar think happened to Apophis when he was sent down to Netu? 

It does seem a little weird that Jolinar never said anything about how she escaped. Not even in writing. OK, so, why can't they take more SG teams with them on this mission to Netu? Oh, that's right. No one can ever have backup on any mission. Jack has some really good one-liners this week. Delmak is not ALF's homeworld; that's Melmac.  It's the return of the goa'uld set designer speculation! Do t...

Past and Present should not have aired immediately after Forever in a Day. The romantic subplot kind of ruins what would have otherwise been a good episode. Why was Linea still calling herself Linea? But seriously, what ARE the SGC's quarantine protocols? The Vyans should create a game show called Are You The Spouse? 

Forever in a Day is a fantastic episode, but let's be real, this meeting could have been an email. How was Kasuf able to get a message to the SGC that they needed help? The Stargate is not a quiet thing. Do SGC members get PTO? Shouldn't Daniel know by now that all the stuff that used to be just myth is probably true now? (Also, shirtless Michael Shanks FTW.)

This week's Rules of Engagement should probably cover what to do with downed UAVs because that happens A LOT. But the big question is, why do none of Apophis' soldiers know who SG1 is? Jack and Teal'c really need to stop just telling people Apophis is dead. It never works. HOW LONG IS A CYCLE?? IT MAKES NO SENSE!! Does Apophis offer an IRA plan? We also have another listener email! Send us your th...

Conflict makes for good TV. We get it. What would you do if you found a Stargate in the woods? These people being from medieval England/Europe doesn't make any sense. Chaucer IS Middle English, Daniel. Also, Shakespeare should be spoken with a US Southern accent. Why would the goa'uld ever give up the Unas as hosts? They seem awesome. But when exactly were these people taken from Earth? There's so...

In Deadman Switch, FLASH GORDON IS HERE!! If the Goa'uld are such a fractured group, why do all their ships and tech look exactly the same? Where are the hippy and the goth Goa'uld? Why does Sam poke Aris Boch's wound? Maybe all names of alien technology are just the result of random key smashes. Zat the tacs, man! Zat the tacs! Why doesn't the SGC have some kind of password with the Tok'ra so the...

This week on Point of View, the quantum mirror is back in play. Why are Dr. Carter and Kawalski so surprised that things are different in an ALTERNATE REALITY? This episode just seems like it was only made for fan service to those who want the Jack/Sam relationship to be a reality. 

In Learning Curve, the SGC has A LOT of learning to do. Because Kalan is not wrong and everyone else is. But also, how exactly do the Urrone learn stuff? It also seems like SG1 is flipping the lore on goa'ulds vs. ancient gods/goddesses on its head. So, which came first now? And there's a brief discussion of archaeoastronomy. It's a cool subject.

This week on Legacy, Daniel touches things. Things touch Jack. And Sam keeps talking about the one time she was touched. Teal'c broods. They really need to stop blaming the Reetou for everything weird that happens. The doctors also need to take into account the fact that these people travel to alien planets on a regular basis before jumping to any conclusions. Because, sometimes, it is aliens. Jus...

The System Lords come to Earth this week in Fair Game. Are military members advised beforehand of upcoming promotions or is it always a surprise? How exactly did the System Lords know that Hathor was alive and then deceased if she was in hiding? If the Earth gate spins, why don't all the gate spins? Why does the gate spin at all? I think my brain is broken… Teal'c really should have told everyone...

This week, the team meets the enigmatic Seth. And, according to my mother, Snuffleupagus is easier to say than Seth. How exactly do the goa'uld choose which god they wanted to impersonate? Just what is the lifespan/aging process for a symbiote? The Jaffa are apparently huge jokesters. If you answered the phone and the person on the other end said they were the President, would you believe them? Wh...

It's our One Year Anniversary!! And we finally start season 3 with Into the Fire. How did the Tok'Ra know where an SG team would be to pass along the info on SG1. Sadly, the death of Apophis was not a joyous occasion for the people of Chu'lak. Dr. Raully to the rescue!! (We hope she lived.) Just how does that dang shield work? Seriously, can anyone help us understand what's going on with it? Do th...

This week we review season 2! All of it. Top to bottom. Bests and worsts. Check our Twitter (@SG_Rewatch) for some polls to see if you agree with our opinions!! And apparently, my fandom historical knowledge of whump was completely wrong… What are some of your top moments from Season 2?

This week, it's commentary style! For the Season 2 finale, Out of Mind, listen along as we watch our way through it.  What were the planning meetings like with Hathor? Were there auditions for the various parts the Jaffa had? And just who directed this whole thing?

The time travel episode is here! This week the gang gets flung back to 1969. Would you recognize your own handwriting? It's time for more Live Googling! How exactly would Teal'c's symbiote take over this body? Doesn't everyone love a good montage? Teal'c finally gets to see Earth! If it wasn't Hammond that was the one who set this whole thing in motion, who should it have been?

It's time for Show and Tell! How many times is Charlie going to come back to remind us that Jack was a dad? Why did it take so long for SG1 to believe that Mother was really there? How exactly can the Reetou interact with us if we can't interact with them? Also, are the Reetou a rejected Doctor Who villain? And why do they cause Tok'ra and Jaffa so much pain? Was Charlie made from Jack's DNA? For...

This week on One False Step: IT'S TEAL'C'S FIRST INDEED!! They're just so cute! What happened to Dr. Fraiser in this episode? She seems very out of character. How exactly does daytime/daylight work on this planet? Mom and Dad keep fighting. Why hasn't the SGC made or bought some sort of buggy for long-distance travel? Also, Sam talks to her plants, okay?

With Serpent's Song, it's Peter DeLuise's directorial debut! Holy crap, it's Apophis! And, yet again, one human life is more valuable than anything. Is Jack a secret Dana Carvey fan? There's just so much good stuff from everyone this week! What if Hannibal Lecter was a goa'uld? How did Sokar know the SGC has an iris?

SG1 IS STILL ON NETFLIX?!?! This week on Holiday, it's time for the classic body-swap episode, SG1 style! STOP TOUCHING THINGS! How does Hammond know that Daniel didn't go into his apartment? Who doesn't love a hot fudge sundae? Who would you want to swap bodies with?
