Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast Window Of Opportunity

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 journalists into the cold; his story about the war photographer; Hammond in every scene he has. There’s a reason this is widely regarded as one of the best Stargate episodes of all time.

A film crew has arrived to document the 1000th trip through the Stargate in Heroes, Part 1. But does anyone really want them there? Some interesting things happen during the interviews they do manage to get. Except for Teal’c’s…. Also, Sam’s interview session where all they talk about Jack was not necessary and could definitely have been cut.


We are a little confused about why the crew can’t film current ongoing missions. Is there some military reason that we’re not aware of that would prevent those things from being documented? It is an interesting debate, though.

If you’re interested, this is what superheated water does if it gets agitated:

The SGC tries to keep the Earth-Tok’ra-Jaffa alliance alive and Sam tries to keep herself alive this week in Death Knell.


We do like that they finally address a lot of these dangling storylines throughout the series. It’s also interesting that we never find out how exactly Anubis knew where the Alpha Site was and that the SGC was developing an anti-super soldier weapon.

And we end this week with learning more about tea than we probably ever wanted to know with our newest segment - Tea Talk.

Sam finally gets a boyfriend and Daniel’s former girlfriend returns in Chimera. What is the plural of DeLuise? While we like the Daniel and Sarah/Osiris storyline in this episode, we’re not as on board with Pete at this time. And there’s a really easy fix for the things that bug us. Also, he’s a cop! He should totally understand classified things exist that he has no clearance to know about. And him surveilling the surveillance operation? There’s no way!
 
IF YOU WENT TO BASINGSTOKE COMIC CON, LET US KNOW!! We'd love to hear all about it!

It’s the final appearance of Jonas Quinn this week as he tries to save his planet in Fallout. We really like that this episode answers the question of why naquadria is not found anywhere else in the galaxy. The actors who play the three ambassadors are so great at doing all the bickering that’s scripted for them.


How would you redecorate the Gate Room? Do other planets have flags? What might a Tok’ra flag look like?

Sam is stuck alone on The Prometheus this week in Grace. Or is she? This episode is not one of our favorites. It just seems like it’s too little a little too late. No shade to Amanda; she’s fantastic with the material she’s been given. There are some interesting conversations, but putting them in this scenario where they all happen with hallucinations is a bit of an odd choice.
