Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast

The Atlantis expedition finally meets living Ancients and it doesn't quite go as expected in The Return, Part 1.
While the McKay-Carter Intergalactic Gate Bridge is a really awesome idea, there are some questions we have about how it works and how things might go wrong that we wish they would have talked about.
While this episode is mostly fine, we do have some major concerns over how the Ancients actually treat the people currently inhabiting Atlantis. So much has changed since the last time the Ancients were in the city. They should want to know what's been going on. And the city is really big enough for everyone if they want to keep the expedition to the outskirts for a while. It also seems like there could be something nefarious going on with how quickly they insist everyone leaves the city.
We just really hope John's plan works so they can get their home back from those pesky replicators!

The hunt for Merlin's weapon is on in earnest as SG1 team up with some unlikely allies in The Quest, part 1. 
We love the barkeep in the village. She's amazing and is absolutely perfect for this part. 
How would you guys fare in a situation such as this? Or in an escape room? We debate if we would rock it or just completely fall apart.
It is a little strange that there's no comment or conversation about trying to help the people stuck in the time dilation field. Even if they can't do anything in the moment, shouldn't they want to figure out how to help them later?
Do you prefer "All flash, no photo" or the original "All flash, no substance"?
And we end our episode with a discussion on the differences between dragons and wyverns and various other mythological reptile-like creatures. Also, let us know if you've ever been on a quest.

Most of John's team starts losing their minds when they're trapped off-world with wraith experimental tech this week in Phantoms.
We briefly discuss the possible non-cancellation of the new Stargate series. We're just so confused about what Amazon is doing.
The technical decisions that were made to help tell this story are so appreciated. It would be very easy to get lost in what is actually going on, but we were never confused. This episode also has the characters making a lot of smart choices that we love until the circumstances end up getting in their way. 
Although we do wonder why John never once thought that there was no way he could be back in Afghanistan. He's an intelligent man and is aware that something is messing with people on this planet and their mental state. Why does he just fully give into it?
And, somehow, Kagan lives!!

There's a lot going on this week with SG1's Company of Thieves, but we're not sure the result is worth the sum of its parts. There are a few plot holes or missing scenes/dialogue that would help clarify some character choices that were made.
It is fun getting confirmation that there are specific planets that were specifically held by the goa'uld to build their ships. 
Surely, there is a better plan than Mitchell going undercover and just keeping their fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong. Which, of course it will, because TV!
We do like all the interactions with Sam, Daniel, and Vala. They're almost like siblings and it's just really fun to watch.
Having to say Netan and Tenat back to back about 50 times was really rough this week. LOL

Rodney and his sister reconnect after not talking for four years in McKay and Mrs. Miller. 
We are big fans of this episode. It manages to strike a balance in taking the stakes seriously but still has lighter moments, so the overall episode doesn't feel too heavy. And the ending is just great where everyone agrees that Rod was actually a little creepy and they much prefer their own Rodney McKay instead.
We love that they cast David Hewlett's real-life sister, Kate, as Rodney's sister because that sibling dynamic is not something that can be faked. 
Are there any good nicknames for Meredith that a man could go by? We try to figure something out, but we got nothing.
