Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast

• Stargate SG1 - Reckoning, Part 2

  We’ve reached the culmination of almost 8 years of storytelling with Reckoning, Part 2 and yet there are still three more episodes left in the season!    It’s still weird that nobody mentions anything about Daniel until the very end of the episode.   We’re always amused at how easy it is for Earth technology to interface with Ancient technology. And also that there’s always an interface at the ready to decipher/translate whatever data is being read.   Ba’al is just amazing in this episode. He’s so smarmy and smug and we love it. But tell us, what is Ba’al’s hacker alias?   And Wagner asks a Very Important Question: Where are all the fatherships?   Will a Space Gun Always Hit Something?

• Stargate Atlantis - The Brotherhood

  It’s time for a good old-fashioned treasure hunt as the team contend with The Brotherhood. But first, have a sneak peek at our new podcast - Sound Effects with Kerri and Rachael. J/K That’s not a thing.   This episode is really fun. All the little puzzles and problems they come up against really work for us and make sense in the historical context. We also love all the stuff between Rodney and Allina. It’s just adorable and funny. Until the very end, at least….   But the ending could have gone a very different way if they’d just explained that they ARE descendants of the Ancestors. Atlantis originated on Earth. The ZPM was left for them.   And just what was that wraith dart doing in the city? We’ll find out in a few weeks….   INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch THREADS: SG_Rewatch DISCORD: https://discord.gg/65kMPzBuaN MERCH: https://showclub.redbubble.com/ EMAIL: [email protected]

• Stargate SG1 - Reckoning, Part 1

  The goa’uld and Asgard and Replicators! Oh, my! Everyone’s here in Reckoning, Part 1. Except for the Furlings. They’re always left out of everything. We do like this episode but some plot points are just a little too glossed over for our liking.   What is the context with people needing to be dying before they can ascend? Death has nothing to do with Ascension, right? It’s just about knowledge and enlightenment. Has that changed since the Ancients first did it? Why is Ascension now a “cake or death” situation?   We have now trademarked Baalogram.   INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch THREADS: SG_Rewatch DISCORD: https://discord.gg/65kMPzBuaN MERCH: https://showclub.redbubble.com/ EMAIL: [email protected]

• Stargate Atlantis - Before I Sleep

  The expedition finds an Ancient in stasis deep in the city. Or is she? Indeed not! Elizabeth Weir has traveled back in time and, with the help of an actual Ancient, has corrected the problems that led to the catastrophic failure of the first Atlantis mission in Before I Sleep.   The old age make-up done to age Torri is reall, really well done. There’s a few things this episode does that are really interesting: it uses time travel to help explain some of the “It’s TV! Of course it all worked out!” things from previous episodes; it shows us that the timeline we’re watching as viewers was not the prime timeline, which it usually is.   There might be an issue with the overall Stargate timeline as the evacuation of Atlantis back to Earth is happening at roughly the same time Ra discovers Earth and starts kidnapping people to make them slaves. How close in time did those two events actually happen? The Stargate Master Timeline: https://www.gateworld.net/wiki/Timeline   And, of course, we hear from Wagner and how accurate the time travel and Rodney’s comments on it are in this episode.   INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch THREADS: SG_Rewatch DISCORD: https://discord.gg/65kMPzBuaN MERCH: https://showclub.redbubble.com/ EMAIL: [email protected]

• Stargate SG1 - Citizen Joe

  It’s time for a clip show so we’re doing it commentary style! Break out your DVD, get Amazon cued up, and watch along with us as we revisit Citizen Joe. NOTICE: Since this is commentary style, there may be periods of dead as we just watch what’s happening. Don’t worry. We’ll be back with the witty commentary soon enough. (Also, Rachael is watching on Amazon with commercials so have your remotes ready to pause as needed…)   The story frame for this episode is pretty good as far as usual clip shows go. It was nice to revisit some storylines we haven’t seen in awhile - Skaara, Hathor, the Reetou! And, luckily, the stones will return in future episodes.   INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch THREADS: SG_Rewatch DISCORD: https://discord.gg/65kMPzBuaN MERCH: https://showclub.redbubble.com/ EMAIL: [email protected]
