The Atlantis team heads back to Earth in Home. Or do they?    Rachael raises some excellent points about how the “mist beings” operate and that it doesn’t seem to be an effective way of keeping themselves alive. Of course, that would lead to a much shorter or non-existent episode. Whoops….   We desperately wanted to see Teyla’s shipping montage. We LOVE a montage! Give it to us now! They did do a really good job of interlacing everyone’s realities in such a way that it was...

Teal’c faces two problems this week on Sacrifices - the Hak’tyl are under attack and his son is getting married!  At this point in the life of the SGC, why do they not have a designated off-world base specifically for refugees? It really doesn’t make sense to keep bringing people to Earth all the time. It is interesting to see the change in heart the SGC has had concerning the killing of the goa’uld from how they faced things at the start of the series. WHAT IS THE RITE OF ORNOC???...

We meet the Atlanteans' best adversarial ally (thank you, Rachael) this week when we find the Genii Underground. Did you know Genii is the plural form of genie?    What were the circumstances in which Tyrus and sora changed into their military uniforms after being told to bring Ford and Teyla to Cowen? Cos that’s a little weird if you stop to think about it. And, if you know anything about us, you know Rachael has Things To Say about the fact that the Genii know what uranium is and call...

The story being told this week in Covenant is one that has been touched on several times - should the Stargate be made public? This specific iteration is interesting as it's from the civilian point of view but, again, some of the specifics end up letting us down a little.   We do think the animation they did on the Asgard clone Alec had was really good. Sam is also excellent during her interview with Julia Donovan and talking around the truth while also not actually lying.   The one...

The Atlanteans come up against a moral quandary this week in Poisoning the Well. Even if the Hoffans are able to make the Wraith unable to feed on them, it is highly unlikely they will just be left alone. The storing of knowledge they do is a really great way to ensure they don’t regress too far when their population is culled.    John getting Steve to tell him all the hive ships have become active isn’t really useful because how many is all?   INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch THREADS:...

Teal’c tries to have a normal life outside the SGC and Sam gets engaged in Affinity but it all ends up being filled with the sorts of tropes and cliches that make this feel more like Stargate: Melrose Place than Stargate: SG1. There are a couple of high points, though: Teal’c bending over so the one guy punches the top of his head; Daniel asking Sam, “So, how’s things?”; Teal’c’s addition of “where you stand” when he threatens to kill Doug; and Pete thinking to check with the local pizza...

John and his team run into a society where no one is older than 24 in Childhood’s End. We do have to wonder about what actually happens to a jumper if it loses power mid-flight. Wouldn’t it just plummet straight to the ground since it doesn’t have wings like a plane to help it glide? But it’s a TV show so it all works out fine. It seems odd that the knowledge of the shield generator device has been lost to time even though the sacrifices continue with how connected the two things seem to...

We break down the SG1 video game that never was this week with Avatar. In which the SGC messes with alien technology again to try and adapt it for use on Earth because they still haven’t learned their lesson. While we have questions about how some of this all worked, overall we liked it. It was fun. There really should have been some way to get Teal’c out that didn’t just rely on Teal’c doing something in the game.  There are also some knowledge drops about “death by a thousand...

The Athosians are accused of being wraith spies in Suspicion. Which, things went very extreme very quickly when there were many other avenues to investigate. Why is the immediate answer to this problem that they have a spy in their midst rather than someone being tracked without their knowledge?   We’re also missing a scene where Teyla learns the truth of what’s been happening and they apologize to her. That really needed to be done.   What’s with John and sandwiches? And did the...

Daniel gets trapped off-world (again) this week in Icon. Would this have been better if it was Teal’c stuck on another planet? We think so, because then that would have gotten rid of the unnecessary vaguely romantic subplot.   The SGC establishing contact through an artifact in a museum is an interesting concept, but the overall plot is something that is all too familiar. Also, Soren should have been a goa’uld. We also would have liked to have more scale as to the actual devastation...

The puddle jumper gets stuck in a gate and John’s team only has 38 minutes to solve the problem. Despite the many plotholes in this episode, it’s still enjoyable and a very fun watch. Weir is fantastic in this episode. McKay’s panic is a little much, but understandable. The introduction of Zelenka is wonderful and we’re so glad the writers kept him around.

RIP Obi Ndefo. You will be missed. Rachael loves this episode. Kerri likes it well enough but there are quite a few scenes/conversations that really need some more clarification. She is glad that Walter Harriman’s name is finally settled as Walter Harriman and he is no longer the man with two names. We do both love that there are many moments in this episode where characters voice questions and issues we ourselves have mentioned previously. Pierre Bernard’s Recliner of Rage:...

It’s interesting that Atlantis’ first post-pilot episode, Hide and Seek, has a very similar plot to the SG1 episode that aired the same night. A strange alien entity is haunting the base and eating all their power. Rodney also partakes in an experimental medical trial that will hopefully give him the ability to use Ancient technology. Apparently, Atlantis needs the memo to stop touching things! If Atlantis was a musical, what would that sound like? This is a good start to the season...

It’s time to get to the business of the new status quo at the SGC but something or someone is throwing a wrench in the works as the base goes into Lockdown.    Where are the special episodes detailing Murray's Adventures in Colorado Springs? We were robbed!   We’re still not sure we really understand the separating the SGC into different zones plan and how that would make Anubis use his powers to reveal himself to the other ascended beings. Are they just trying to piss him off?   ...

It’s the conclusion of the pilot as we discuss Stargate Atlantis, Rising - Part 2. The rising of the city of Atlantis from the bottom of the ocean to the surface is one of the most beautiful visual effects shots in the entire franchise. It’s gorgeous.   We really appreciate the fact that people have actual conversations in this and don’t just yell at each other when they disagree. Seeing the wraith for the first showed we have a properly scary villain for the first time.   Do you like...

It’s time to head to the Pegasus Galaxy as we start Stargate Atlantis with Rising, Part 1. This cast is made up of a lot of people who were previously other characters on SG1. But, we like this. It has a very nice different but same vibe where it’s familiar for viewers of SG1 but is definitely its own entity. We finally get confirmation of the Ancient Gene being a thing. The aesthetic of Atlantis and the gates found there are really cool. Also, Rachael didn’t watch the whole episode...

We finish up the season 8 premiere with New Order, Part 2. We get our first introduction to Colonel Lionel Pendergast, commander of The Prometheus who might have one of the best character names ever.  We find it odd that none of Sam’s team members have much of a reaction to learning she is most likely dead. How exactly would asylum for a Goa’uld System Lord work considering they’re basically war criminals?  While there might be some details we nitpick over (that’s what a podcast is for!),...

It’s time to start the soft reset of Stargate SG1 with the season 8 premiere, New Order - Part 1. There are some big changes right off the bat - Don Davis is out of the credits and Teal’c has hair!! We discuss the recasting of Elizabeth Weir and the probable retirement of all Yu jokes and puns.  There’s a sound effect that Rachael would now like to investigate - the replicators. And we still don’t know how the symbiote noises are made. Weir telling the System Lords that the SGC will...

Before we jump into SG1 Season 8 and Atlantis Season 1, we thought we’d do something a little different. This week, we watched Space Milkshake starring Amanda Tapping and a whole bunch of other awesome scifi actors. This movie is not good. It just didn’t go far enough with how funny/silly it should have been. It really needed the Spaceballs treatment.

It’s our Season 7 Wrap-up!! We get into all the bests and some WTFs. We also discuss recasting the show and what crossovers we would like to see. Make sure you check in on our Discord to vote in the polls! Also, Kerri squeaks when she laughs really hard….. (And mixes up subjective vs.objective. Whoops.) Do we need merch? #stargate #sg1 INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch THREADS: SG_Rewatch DISCORD: https://discord.gg/65kMPzBuaN EMAIL: [email protected]

This week SG1 try to find the Lost City and save Earth once more from impending doom.   These are two of the best episodes Stargate has ever done. But, what is wrong with Kinsey? He’s the absolute worst. We love the introduction of the Stargate glyphs having sounds associated with them to give the planets names. Unfortunately, it never comes back into play.   How does Anubis know where the White House is and even more so, what it is? How does he know who Hayes is? That whole thing was...

The newly elected President of the United States is debriefed about the Stargate program in one of the most plot-heavy clip shows, Inauguration.  It seems like many of the things Woolsey brings up could have come from discussions among fans about what has happened on the show. Because, at times, he does have a point. LAVA LAMP SECURITY: https://youtu.be/1cUUfMeOijg?si=UDnLVl3nNFWsn9aP   INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch THREADS: SG_Rewatch DISCORD: https://discord.gg/65kMPzBuaN ...

Daniel once more tries to bond with a young woman in an attempt to save her life this week in Resurrection. Unfortunately, it was all for nothing. This one of those strange episodes that isn’t necessarily bad per se. There are definitely things that occurred but nothing really happened and we can’t help wondering what the point of it all was.   Can we bring back worshipping of Sekhmet? She sounds awesome. All the interactions between Teal’c and Dr. Lee were just the best, though.   ...

THIS EPISODE COMES WITH A HANKY WARNING. This one really got to Kerri. So, if you’re a sympathetic crier you may want to have some tissues handy and not listen to this in public.  The documentary team continues their investigation while the NID joins in with their own in Heroes, Part 2. Everyone definitely brought their A-game in this episode and they sent Janet off with the honor she deserved. There is just so much to love about this episode - Saul’s tirade about shoving...
