Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast Window Of Opportunity

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.

We finish up Daniel’s Central American Adventures and Sam’s Outer Space Quest in Evolution Part 2. This is the one episode where we finally see the small, casual intimacy between Jack and Sam that we really should have been seeing all along. Enrico Colantoni as Burke is just the best thing ever. We love him.


Why don’t Stargates have caller ID? That would be helpful. Annoying from a plot perspective, but helpful for the receiving gate. We’re still not entirely sure how ring transporters work, but the scene where the Kull Warrior gets wooshed away in mid-air is just awesome.


And thanks to a listener email, we find out whether or not the Stargate could actually exist.


And a few more jokes….

We’re back and it’s time for Evolution, Part 1!! Thanks everyone for sticking with us through this small hiatus. There’s so much to get through in this episode with super soldiers and the Fountain of Youth. And so many fun facts! Though, this episode may have been a bit better if those two things tied together a little bit more. What would you call a Goa’uld Boy Band? 

There’s also so many emails! So many discussions! And we’re not sure if we remembered what we said in very old episodes, so bear with us… Also jokes!

Christopher Judge takes charge of the writing this week on Birthright, aka Stargate: Warrior Princess. The idea behind this episode is interesting, but the execution falls a little short. It really didn’t need the love story element between Teal’c and Ishta. But, hey. You can’t keep a horse in a bathtub!

Avenger 2.0 has some major issues for us. Felger is TOO bumbling. How does he still have a job? Why don’t the stranded teams manually dial the gate to get back to the SGC? Ba’al has a computer hacker in his ranks? And how would he have even come to the conclusion that there was a virus in the DHD? None of this makes any sense. There’s some interesting ideas here (the virus really could be a useful thing), but the execution leaves a lot to be desired for us. 
 
And that ending daydream scene was really not necessary.

This week Sam takes on the Kessel Run, I mean the Loop of Kon Garat when she joins her new alien friend Warrick for a Space Race. The episode where Sam is suddenly an adrenaline junkie even though we’ve never seen any proof of that before or since. While this episode is mostly just okay, the sports commentators are fantastic. Rachael thinks this episode could have been more interesting if Sam had been forced into the race against her will. Patrick Currie playing Eamon like he’s the Niles to Warrick’s Fraiser is amazing.
