  1. Stargate Atlantis - Inferno

    6D AGO

    Stargate Atlantis - Inferno

    We're very glad Inferno did not end on a cliffhanger of who was going to live and who was going to die. While this episode is a complete story, the set-up it gives us for next week is very interesting.  Why would you turn off alarms on very advanced technology if you had no idea what they were for? Alarms don't just go off for no reason. Usually… Also, it would have been really interesting if the Daedalus had discovered that there was, in fact, a whole other civilization on the other side of the planet that they couldn't save. Rachael and Kerri don't agree on the motivations behind Lycus continuing to insist that the Atlanteans are only using him and doing all of this to get their hands on his ship. What do you think? LAST CALL! Our season wrap-up episode is coming soon, so send in your suggestions for a Rodney technobabble monologue for us to recite from memory! Drop it in an email or on Discord.

  2. Stargate SG1 - Crusade

    FEB 5

    Stargate SG1 - Crusade

    We finally find out what happened to Vala as we catch up with her in Crusade. This episode is really well done. Getting to see the other side of the story before the war starts is really interesting. Add in the threat of Russia taking back the Stargate and you have one fully stuffed episode calzone. We really like the relationship between Vala and Tomin and how she does genuinely seem to care for him. It's just really sad when you see how he changes due to the teachings of the Ori.

  3. Stargate Atlantis - Michael

    JAN 29

    Stargate Atlantis - Michael

    This week's episode of Atlantis, Michael, brings up some interesting questions. Should Atlantis have even done this? Why did they make up a whole fake backstory that he could never remember because it didn't happen? Why did they do this on Atlantis?  It is interesting to see our "good guys" doing something that is truly horrifying. But what repercussions should they have experienced because of what they've done? Even if they can transform these beings so they are no longer physically wraith, they are still psychologically wraith. How would that work? We also end with a classic email from Wagner explaining M-theory and lepton radiation as discussed in Arthur's Mantle.

  4. Stargate SG1 - Arthur's Mantle

    JAN 22

    Stargate SG1 - Arthur's Mantle

    In Arthur's Mantle, there's some delightful callbacks and a melding of previous storylines that we really liked. It seems fairly obvious from the start that Sam and Mitchell have been transported somewhere, but the miniaturization idea is really fun! (And now we just want to watch Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.) But as much as we like Dr. Lee being used for comedic relief, it would help us understand why he's still there if he were actually right on occasion.  We do find it a little odd that Daniel didn't clock onto Sam and Mitchell being transported somewhere else immediately after seeing the footage, seeing as that happens to them ALL THE TIME. The ending is also a little abrupt and a bit too silly, given the fact that an entire civilization, bar ONE PERSON, had just been slaughtered.

  5. Stargate Atlantis - Coup d'Etat

    JAN 15

    Stargate Atlantis - Coup d'Etat

    Major Lorne and his team are presumed dead this week as Ladon Radim tries to overthrow Cowen in Coup d'Etat. Unfortunately, the team makes some bad decisions this week that they really shouldn't have and Ronon is just pissed off that he's not a wanted man!  One of our lovely listeners will surely know the answer to this debate that Rachael and Kerri get into: are ZPMs lit up when they're not plugged in? Write in and let us know!  There's so much double and triple crossing going on it's a little hard to keep track. https://windowofopportunity.libsyn.com/stargate-sg1-the-scourge INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch THREADS: SG_Rewatch DISCORD: https://discord.gg/65kMPzBuaN MERCH: https://showclub.redbubble.com/ EMAIL: woosgrewatch@gmail.com

  6. Stargate SG1 - The Scourge

    JAN 8

    Stargate SG1 - The Scourge

    It's bugs, bugs, bugs as the Gamma Site is invaded in The Scourge. Overall, not one of our favorites. We're not fans of bug-related stories/episodes in general, and there are some plot holes that we have issues with concerning how the bugs move and interact with things. We're also confused about the whole thing where once the bugs eat, they die, but if they don't eat, they keep living. How exactly does that work? Although we are delighted to learn about the existence of the Gamma Site, where dangerous experiments with alien life forms can take place without endangering all life on Earth.  INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch THREADS: SG_Rewatch DISCORD: https://discord.gg/65kMPzBuaN MERCH: https://showclub.redbubble.com/ EMAIL: woosgrewatch@gmail.com

  7. Stargate Atlantis - The Long Goodbye

    JAN 1

    Stargate Atlantis - The Long Goodbye

    It's another possession episode as Elizabeth and John are taken over by the last two survivors of a long-fought war in The Long Goodbye.   Rachael was not a fan of this one. It's too similar to other recent episodes we've watched this season. We do both wish we had gotten some sort of backstory to Phebus and Thalen and why they're fighting this war and how they know each other. This episode does have a lot of unanswered questions that could have greatly improved the plot if they were explained.   INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch THREADS: SG_Rewatch DISCORD: https://discord.gg/65kMPzBuaN MERCH: https://showclub.redbubble.com/ EMAIL: woosgrewatch@gmail.com

  8. Stargate SG1 - Off the Grid

    12/25/2025

    Stargate SG1 - Off the Grid

    Stargates are being taken from all over the galaxy in an episode that should have been called Dude, Where's My Gate? But first, SG1 have to deal with highly addictive corn in Off the Grid. As many times as we've discussed the fashion of the goa'uld, does the SGC have a seamstress on staff? Where do they get the undercover outfits they wear when the need arises? Is the deal with the Kassa just that it's super tasty? Does it affect people in any other way? It seems like it doesn't. Which is kind of weird. Also, does it really start to rot after only 2 days? We really like how Beau Bridges and Maury Chaykin play against each other. The scenes between Landry and Nerus are some of the best in this episode.  INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch THREADS: SG_Rewatch DISCORD: https://discord.gg/65kMPzBuaN MERCH: https://showclub.redbubble.com/ EMAIL: woosgrewatch@gmail.com
