| Stargate SG1 - Bounty | 15 Oct 2026 | 00:59:30 | |
The team is all off on their own, but their plans are soon foiled when they come under alien attack in Bounty. This episode is really fun, and getting to see everyone off doing their own thing is a nice change of pace. Vala is absolutely hilarious in the best possible way, but we're still unsure if Daniel didn't get that the woman was flirting with him or if he was just ignoring it. We're fine with either one. There's a bit too much uncertainty at points as to whether or not people are dead or just unconscious. Some clarity would have been appreciated. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate Atlantis - Tao of Rodney | 08 Oct 2026 | 01:00:54 | |
Rodney once more comes close to death in Tao of Rodney. This episode really is something special. Rachael thinks this is in her all-time top Atlantis episodes! This episode does some address some thing we've always wondered about. Like, there were supposedly large parts of the city underwater yet not much of Atlantis looks to be waterlogged. Also, Rodney insisting on being quarantined or at least kept in the infirmary for a while after the initial incident is a nice change of pace. If Rodney was going to be a superhero, what would his super name be? It would have also been fun if they had been able to sprinkle in some other more "silly" side effects of Rodney's advancing intelligence. Can he now play the piano? Or maybe he suddenly figures out some long-standing Earth mystery? We didn't necessarily miss it, but it would have been fun. The best parts of the episode, though, are the scenes at the end where Rodney goes around making amends to the various members of the Atlantis team. All the actors just do such a great job with everything they're given and it really brings such a weight to what's happening. But also, Rodney heals Ronon's scars so the show can get Ronon out of clothes…. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate SG1 - The Shroud | 01 Oct 2026 | 01:05:07 | |
Daniel has gone through an interesting change since the last time we saw him when he meets back up with SG1 in The Shroud. This is such an amazing episode. There's so much happening, and everyone really steps up to the plate. It's also great having more Jack and Daniel scenes. We debate whether Daniel has gone Full Merlin and what that might actually mean. Also, we've decided that the process Daniel will go through to return to his normal self shall be known as dePriorization. It's also rather interesting that, as complicated as the plan is to destroy the Ori is, they have no way of knowing if it actually works or not. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate Atlantis - Irresponsible | 24 Sep 2026 | 00:55:26 | |
Everyone's favorite guy we love to hate is back as Lucius Lavin returns in Irresponsible. This episode is quite fun despite some of the script issues with how the shield actually works this time around. We have fun discussions about secret rooms and what mechanism we would use for access. And it's always great having Kolya back on our screens. Even if he did have to die…. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate SG1 - The Road Not Taken | 17 Sep 2026 | 00:52:53 | |
Sam is transported to an alternate universe, and we see what could have happened should the Stargate program have been made public in The Road Not Taken. This episode is a fun side quest that hits a little too close to home these days. The casting decisions made to populate the alternate universe are really great. It helps to hit home that something is just a little off as soon as the episode starts. We really like how initially there's an actual dialogue happening with Sam and Hammond & Lorne about why they need her. It's nice to see them not going immediately evil and keeping her prisoner because they need her more. The one question we have about the Earth being out of phase is: shouldn't the moon and all the objects that orbit the planet shoot off into space because there is no longer a planet for them to be in orbit around? And then what happens when the Earth comes back? Would everything on the planet now be out of whack because there's no moon for tides and everything related to that? Could the moon be retrieved? Do we need to get Vector involved? INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate Atlantis - Echoes | 10 Sep 2026 | 00:44:00 | |
There's something a little spooky happening in Atlantis when members of the expedition start seeing visions of the past in Echoes. We really like all of the various character interactions in this episode in addition to the change in vibe. We always enjoy a good mystery. And when we finally get the full story of what's actually going on, we did not see that coming. We discuss our favorite whales and learn that Orcas aren't actually whales. We also try to cast the Atlantis members as the Scooby Gang but that doesn't go as well as we hoped…. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate SG1 - Line in the Sand | 03 Sep 2026 | 00:45:56 | |
SG1 (minus Daniel) test out Merlin's phase-shifting device in a big way when they attempt to hide a village from the Ori in Line in the Sand. This whole plan seems a little strange. We can understand how they got there, but when you break it down, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. How do they expect this to be any sort of long-term fix to the Ori problem? We do really like all of the pairings we got in this episode: Mitchell with Sam and Vala with Tomin. It leads to some really amazing character moments, and we're glad to have some resolution on Vala and Tomin's relationship. And since there are still no listener emails, we have a little chat about what we've been up to and Rachael has officially earned her Old Woman At The Movie Theater Card! INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate Atlantis - The Return, Part 2 | 27 Aug 2026 | 00:39:29 | |
John and his team try to save Atlantis from the Asurans and from being destroyed by the Daedalus while also rescuing General O'Neill and Robert Woolsey in The Return, Part 2. Apologies in advance for the sound going garbly at some points. That was not present during the recording and was only discovered during editing. It's really great having Jack back in the show. Especially when he's the Jack we know and love from the earlier seasons of SG1. The "twist" in this episode is really well done and a general plot device we love when employed properly. It's especially fun here because this is not how Stargate episodes usually go. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate SG1 - The Quest, Part 2 | 20 Aug 2026 | 00:56:22 | |
The trials for the Sangreal continue in The Quest, Part 2. And this episode isn't really the conclusion you think it is. We're a little unsure as to the origins of the dragon/wyvern. Where did Morgan get it from? Also, it just blips out of existence at the end, so what is it even real at all? We would like answers to that, please. There also doesn't seem to really be any reason for Merlin to be so cryptic about what he's doing. Especially when he leaves his memories for Daniel to complete the task of building a new Sangreal. Why not just tell them what he's doing and what they'll need to do? Ba'al's actions are interesting. It's been fun seeing the evolution of the team's reactions to the goa'uld now and how they interact with each other. One of our listeners sends in suggestions for Stargate themed Escape Rooms and someone needs to make them happen RIGHT NOW. Anyway, off we go! INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate Atlantis - The Return, Part 1 | 13 Aug 2026 | 00:53:59 | |
The Atlantis expedition finally meets living Ancients and it doesn't quite go as expected in The Return, Part 1. While the McKay-Carter Intergalactic Gate Bridge is a really awesome idea, there are some questions we have about how it works and how things might go wrong that we wish they would have talked about. While this episode is mostly fine, we do have some major concerns over how the Ancients actually treat the people currently inhabiting Atlantis. So much has changed since the last time the Ancients were in the city. They should want to know what's been going on. And the city is really big enough for everyone if they want to keep the expedition to the outskirts for a while. It also seems like there could be something nefarious going on with how quickly they insist everyone leaves the city. We just really hope John's plan works so they can get their home back from those pesky replicators! INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate SG1 - The Quest, Part 1 | 06 Aug 2026 | 00:46:23 | |
The hunt for Merlin's weapon is on in earnest as SG1 team up with some unlikely allies in The Quest, part 1. We love the barkeep in the village. She's amazing and is absolutely perfect for this part. How would you guys fare in a situation such as this? Or in an escape room? We debate if we would rock it or just completely fall apart. It is a little strange that there's no comment or conversation about trying to help the people stuck in the time dilation field. Even if they can't do anything in the moment, shouldn't they want to figure out how to help them later? Do you prefer "All flash, no photo" or the original "All flash, no substance"? And we end our episode with a discussion on the differences between dragons and wyverns and various other mythological reptile-like creatures. Also, let us know if you've ever been on a quest.

| Stargate Atlantis - Phantoms | 30 Jul 2026 | 00:50:41 | |
Most of John's team starts losing their minds when they're trapped off-world with wraith experimental tech this week in Phantoms. We briefly discuss the possible non-cancellation of the new Stargate series. We're just so confused about what Amazon is doing. The technical decisions that were made to help tell this story are so appreciated. It would be very easy to get lost in what is actually going on, but we were never confused. This episode also has the characters making a lot of smart choices that we love until the circumstances end up getting in their way. Although we do wonder why John never once thought that there was no way he could be back in Afghanistan. He's an intelligent man and is aware that something is messing with people on this planet and their mental state. Why does he just fully give into it? And, somehow, Kagan lives!! INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate SG1 - Company of Thieves | 23 Jul 2026 | 00:45:47 | |
There's a lot going on this week with SG1's Company of Thieves, but we're not sure the result is worth the sum of its parts. There are a few plot holes or missing scenes/dialogue that would help clarify some character choices that were made. It is fun getting confirmation that there are specific planets that were specifically held by the goa'uld to build their ships. Surely, there is a better plan than Mitchell going undercover and just keeping their fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong. Which, of course it will, because TV! We do like all the interactions with Sam, Daniel, and Vala. They're almost like siblings and it's just really fun to watch. Having to say Netan and Tenat back to back about 50 times was really rough this week. LOL INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate Atlantis - McKay and Mrs. Miller | 16 Jul 2026 | 00:41:19 | |
Rodney and his sister reconnect after not talking for four years in McKay and Mrs. Miller. We are big fans of this episode. It manages to strike a balance in taking the stakes seriously but still has lighter moments, so the overall episode doesn't feel too heavy. And the ending is just great where everyone agrees that Rod was actually a little creepy and they much prefer their own Rodney McKay instead. We love that they cast David Hewlett's real-life sister, Kate, as Rodney's sister because that sibling dynamic is not something that can be faked. Are there any good nicknames for Meredith that a man could go by? We try to figure something out, but we got nothing. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate SG1 - Memento Mori | 09 Jul 2026 | 00:48:29 | |
Vala is on the run when her memories are accidentally wiped by The Trust in Memento Mori. We really like this episode. Especially everyone's treatment of Vala and how they're actually starting to appreciate her and make her a full member of SG1. We have fun imaging what Teal'c said to Weaver in that interrogation scene and also what Christopher Judge said to the actor. There's also a brief detour into the fun world of Duolingo and what languages you can actually learn with that program. It's just too bad they don't have a course for Diner Speak. As much as we love this episode, Rachael came up with a much better ending. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate Atlantis - Common Ground | 02 Jul 2026 | 00:42:10 | |
An old foe finally returns when John is taken by Kolya as a ruse to trade him for Ladon Radim in Common Ground. We still wonder if there will ever be an episode of a show like this where the whole expedition risks everything for Dave from the cafeteria, and just when it's one of the Big Names at risk. What would you all do if you were in Ladon's position? It's not an easy decision because right now the situation is just bad for one person, but if they give in to Kolya's demands, it would be bad for the whole galaxy. What would your tagline be for a Buddy Cop movie between John and the wraith? INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate SG1 - Counterstrike | 25 Jun 2026 | 00:51:46 | |
The Jaffa take the battle to the Ori this week in Counterstrike. We get back into discussing interior design (which Ori is responsible for their ships?) and wondering if the SGC actually has a seamstress on staff. If they do, we want to see that series. There is a lot that happens in this episode, and the arrogance of the Jaffa and what they're doing is rather frustrating. We do appreciate the development of Daniel and Vala's relationship. And, actually, everyone's relationship to her. It's nice to see most of the antagonism starting to drop. Vala and Adria's relationship is really interesting, too. Vala trying to treat her like she's still a small child is a fun dynamic to see play out. We also go off on brief movie tangents about The Wedding Singer and Sneakers. And since there are no listener emails, we get into Gateworld's System Lord Tier Ranking. Who would your top goa'uld be? INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate Atlantis - The Real World | 18 Jun 2026 | 00:38:31 | |
Weir is in a psychiatric hospital and told that the Stargate isn't real in The Real World. This is not our favorite trope or scifi plot. We always know from the start that what the character is told is the truth isn't the truth and there's too much time spent there when we would much rather get to what's actually happening and spend the episode there. Rodney and Beckett are really fun together in this episode, though. Along with that older lady in the hospital who goes on about the cold-blooded aliens from one of Satrun's moons. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate SG1 - 200 | 11 Jun 2026 | 01:07:43 | |
It's Stargate's 200th episode, and we're doing this one commentary style! Grab a drink, grab a snack, and buckle in as we get into all the insanity that is this very special episode.

| Stargate Atlantis - Progeny | 04 Jun 2026 | 00:47:26 | |
An unlikely enemy is discovered in the Pegasus Galaxy this week in Progeny. We do start off with some sad news and the cancellation of the recently green-lit Stargate sequel/reboot. We don't understand why this happened or what changed since it was given the go-ahead back in November. We think there were perhaps some missed opportunities to hint at what was going on before the big reveal. Perhaps something weird is happening with the life signs detector? How they showed us the backstory of what actually happened with these human-form replicators was really well done. We appreciate that they showed us the story and didn't just tell us. But does this mean that two different civilizations both created replicator-type beings or did Reese's "father" find Ancient research related to what happened here? The one thing we love, love, love (and always will) is the banter between John and Rodney. They do it so well and it's so much fun. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate SG1 - Uninvited | 28 May 2026 | 00:48:41 | |
Unknown mutated creatures are attacking people off world and on Earth in Uninvited. Are the two related? What's causing this? The casualness of the death of all the people that are killed by these creatures is kind of upsetting to us. It just seems like the SGC writes it off as, "Oops. Our bad." Everyone being so dismissive of Vala is also confusing. She has actual relevant experience in what's happening and no one wants to even listen to her ideas. In general, this episode of perfectly fine but there is quite a lot to nitpick. Also, what is the point of this episode? Even back when filler episodes still existed, this one seems to serve no purpose. There's no character growth; nothing that happens impacts any of the larger story points. We just don't get it. As a final discussion point, what would be the worst creature to get infected with one of those parasite things? INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate Atlantis - Sateda | 21 May 2026 | 00:46:05 | |
Ronon is taken home by the wraith and made into a runner again in Sateda. This is just a great episode overall and we're glad we got this part of Ronon's story where he revisits a planet he had been to previously. Rachael really wanted this episode to be a two-parter so we could have gotten more of Ronon's past, though. How does the gate know when to shut off? Is this just another "Because TV!" type of situation. The scene between John and Teyla on the Daedalus is so amazing. Joe is really great at playing the awkwardness of what John is trying to say but can't. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate SG1 - Insiders | 14 May 2026 | 00:43:32 | |
Great Ba'als of fire!! The SGC is overrun with Ba'als (and we're overrun with puns, sorry) as SG1 gather up all the clones in exchange for information on how to find Merlin's weapon. Of course, things don't go as expected. It's Insiders. We really like that little conversation Mitchell has with Landry about how much control he doesn't have over SG1. He's just gotta hope everyone is in line with the goals and will follow the plan. We do have some issues with Ba'al's plan. It just seems overly complicated for what the goal ended up being. Surely, he could have just brainwashed someone to get him the list of planets. Sam makes one of the dumbest mistakes ever by handing over the planet information to the Ba'als. There is no way anyone on base is more important than that data. Still, we enjoyed this episode. It's never a bad idea to have more Cliff Simon. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate Atlantis - Irresistible | 07 May 2026 | 00:49:28 | |
Richard Kind returns as the absolutely Irresistible Lucius in this week's sitcom version of Stargate Atlantis. As much as we really like this episode (and we do genuinely think it's a lot of fun), there are a couple of plot holes that we wish had been dealt with. First off, where exactly is the gate for this planet? Is it in orbit or not? And then, what Lucius is doing does have some date rapey vibes to it that are not cool. We do find it interesting that being away from Lucius causes people to go through an actual physical withdrawal. We've never seen something like that in these situations before. If you discovered the herb that Lucius found, would you use it? INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate SG1 - The Pegasus Project | 23 Apr 2026 | 00:51:29 | |
Dr. Jackson finally makes it to Atlantis this week in The Pegasus Project. There's A LOT that happens in this episode, and it actually ends on a very big win for both SG1 and Atlantis. We really like seeing all the interactions between the SG1 characters and the Atlantis. Everyone is really well written and we can't wait for more crossovers. Does the SGC have a stockpile of gates lying around or did they have to go out and get them from somewhere? The reveal that the hologram in this episode is actually an ascended Ancient is so well done. We remember not seeing that coming the first time we watched it. It really is time for the Ancients to get off their asses, though. They're next up on the Ori hit list. They gotta do something. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate Atlantis - Misbegotten | 16 Apr 2026 | 01:14:58 | |
Stargate Atlantis' Misbegotten leaves us with many questions. A lot of them are about the wraith's hair and how culturally important it might be. And do hive ships float? Why does it seem like Atlantis has learned nothing from its past mistakes? Yes, they really didn't have a lot of options with transforming the hive ship full of wraith into humans. It just seems like they've never had a larger discussion about what to do with the wraith they turn into humans. And they keep treating Michael like he's some kind of spy when they're the ones who made him what he is! This really was just A Bad Plan. One good thing to come out of this episode, though, is that Weir will be staying in charge of Atlantis. For now…. But also, fuck the IOA. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate SG1 - Morpheus | 09 Apr 2026 | 00:47:56 | |
Sleep becomes a dangerous thing while SG1 are off searching for Merlin's weapon in Morpheus. Back at the SGC, Landry has to decide if Vala can become a member of the SGC given her past. We actually really like these two storylines being in the same episode. The silliness and weirdness of Vala's escapades really help balance out the seriousness of what's happening off-world with SG1. We do wish they had gone into some more detail or at least speculation about how the parasite can travel from person to person, because we can't quite figure out how that happened. Also, how long does it take from infection to death? What exactly happened to Reimer? Was his heart attack the result of the parasite, or was it just a heart attack from all the caffeine and lack of sleep that affected him? The insight we get into Vala in this episode through all the testing really is wonderful to see. We can't wait to see how she grows from here. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate Atlantis - No Man's Land | 02 Apr 2026 | 00:47:30 | |
Will the wraith make it to Earth? Will Rodney and Ronon become wraith food? Is John alive? Find out as we move into season 3 with No Man's Land. Aren't the IOA just lovely? They're totally supportive of every decision that has ever been made. /sarcasm Did you realize Weir was stuck at the SGC after she walked through the gate? Because, at this point, the wormhole can only go one way between the galaxies. It's interesting how the solution to this problem is to go back to the original Plan A - transform an entire hive ship of wraith into humans with the gas Beckett created. It all comes full circle. And we have a fun little diversion into the white/gold or blue/black dress from several years ago. Because why not? INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate SG1 - Flesh and Blood | 26 Mar 2026 | 00:54:03 | |
We've made it to SG1 season 10 and it's time to see what the Ori's plans are with Flesh and Blood. Now, in general we don't remember a lot about season 10 so this is going to be a fun "rewatch" for us. Did everyone make it out alive after the explosive season 9 finale? Where are the ori going? What's with Vala's daughter? Seeing the flashbacks of how everyone survived was really great but also not so much because everyone else is dead. One of the coolest things, though, is Sam's rescue by Mitchell and Kvasir as they scoop her up with the Odyssey docking bay. So awesome! We do like this as a season premiere and a sort of reset of the status quo back to how things were with the goa'uld. And now we actually have a singular Bad Guy to focus on now. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Sumuru (2003) | 19 Mar 2026 | 00:26:18 | |
This week, we do something a little different before we jump into Stargate SG1 season 10. We venture back in time to watch the 2003 Michael Shanks classic, Sumuru. It's 900 years in the future, women rule the world, and men are used for slave labor, procreation, and sacrifices to the giant snake god. This movie is not as bad as it could have been. The general premise is quite interesting but it kind of falls apart in the details. There are some decent moments, but, as Rachael explains, it feels like someone's college thesis project. The CGI is terrible. What's with the giant snake? That's not necessary. The acting is pretty decent, though. For what they had to work with… Given all that, is it worth watching? Tune in and find out! INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||

It's our SG1 Season 9 wrap-up! We get into all the nitty-gritty and why doing this episode for this season was a bit harder than previous seasons. We also talk about the changes the show went through this season and how we feel about Mitchell as the new commander of SG1.

| Stargate Atlantis - Allies | 26 Feb 2026 | 00:50:03 | |
The Lanteans team up with the wraith in Allies to put Beckett's retrovirus to the test. Of course, things proceed exactly as expected. The beginning of this episode introduces a concept we hadn't though of before: does Atlantis drift around the ocean at all or is it big enough that it's mostly stationary? Can they use the star drive to move it around like a ship? The wraith's plan is truly fascinating. Is it a good idea? Should they be doing this? It does seem like there are parts of this that weren't really thought through. And in the end it was all a ruse because the wraith just wanted to find Earth! Will they get there? Will they eat everyone on Earth? INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate SG1 - Camelot | 19 Feb 2026 | 00:50:50 | |
It's our FIVE YEAR anniversary, and we've reached the finale of SG1 Season 9 with Camelot. Luckily, they did get renewed for season 10; otherwise, that would have been one hell of a cliffhanger. This is a fun episode with some really great guest stars. Of course, the kids know where the forbidden place is because kids always know where that stuff is. We did enjoy the running gag of the team getting beamed away every time they tried to convince the locals that magic doesn't exist. They really needed to do it one more time, though. Three is the magic comedy number. The final space battle is really impressive. And seeing Sam just floating in space as she watches the destruction is very evocative. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate Atlantis - Inferno | 12 Feb 2026 | 00:55:14 | |
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.

| Stargate SG1 - Crusade | 05 Feb 2026 | 00:47:21 | |
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. | |||
| Stargate Atlantis - Michael | 29 Jan 2026 | 00:59:25 | |
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. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate SG1 - Arthur's Mantle | 22 Jan 2026 | 00:37:15 | |
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. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate Atlantis - Coup d'Etat | 15 Jan 2026 | 00:51:31 | |
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 | |||
| Stargate SG1 - The Scourge | 08 Jan 2026 | 00:52:19 | |
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.

| Stargate Atlantis - The Long Goodbye | 01 Jan 2026 | 00:52:00 | |
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.

| Stargate SG1 - Off the Grid | 25 Dec 2025 | 00:43:29 | |
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 | |||
| Stargate Atlantis - The Tower | 18 Dec 2025 | 01:10:20 | |
The set decorators do an excellent job of redressing the Atlantis set when the team finds one of its sister cities in The Tower. It was really fun seeing the set we're all familiar with dressed up in a different way and with furniture all over the place.
The guest stars in this episode were really top notch. Otho and Tavius were both excellent in their roles (though we're really hoping the guy who plays Tavius is much nicer in real life). Rodney's chemistry with Baldric is also fantastic and we loved every scene between those two.
Does anyone else want to just bite into a tomato? Is that a thing in real life or just on TV?

| Stargate SG1 - Ethon | 11 Dec 2025 | 00:52:57 | |
Daniel and the SGC end up in a bit of a pickle when an old friend calls on them for help in Ethon. This is another episode where we finally revisit a place and bringing the Ori storyline into it feels like a bit of a missed opportunity to do that more. It's also a rare episode where the team doesn't get the win. We do have a small diversion into Fun With The English Language as we discuss the meanings of buttload, a jiffy, and bunghole. It does seem a bit surprising no one considered the possibility of the satellite having some kind of shield given the plans they had were the very early stages of the weapon. Surely, something like that should be talked about. And once again, why is Daniel doing the political negotiating? If they knew that was part of the reason they were going to Tagalus, why didn't SG9 go with them? INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate Atlantis - Grace Under Pressure | 04 Dec 2025 | 01:34:04 | |
Can Rodney learn to rely on his friends when he gets trapped in a jumper slowly sinking to the bottom of the ocean in Grace Under Pressure? We have our good friend Evelyn back this week to find out.
This is really such a great episode and it's hard to imagine anyone other than David doing this. We really learn a lot about Rodney and what kind of person he really is deep down. The version of Sam we get in this episode is really fun to see. Since it's not Sam and we love that Rodney KNOWS she's not real but still basically treats her like she is.
How often do you guys talk to yourselves? We have some interesting answers to that question.
And it's the return of Live Googling as Rachael decides to look into what things are 6000 feet tall!

| Stargate SG1 - Stronghold | 27 Nov 2025 | 00:34:56 | |
Mitchell reunites with an old friend and the Jaffa are in upheaval and an old enemy is behind it all this week in Stronghold.
What exactly was Mitchell planning when he showed up at the hospital? Was he going to stay there until his friend was either cured or dead?
For all our discussions on Goa'uld fashion, this outfit of Ba'al's might be one of our top favorites. But it does beg the question - is he now getting his clothes from Earth? We also really like the angle Ba'al is playing. It's not the usual "I just want galactic domination" motivation.

Kerri & Rachael discuss the news about the new Stargate series. | |||
| Stargate Atlantis - Critical Mass | 20 Nov 2025 | 01:06:43 | |
The goa'uld are on Atlantis?! And they've planted a bomb?! Can the city be saved before it reaches Critical Mass? Or as Rachael calls it, Speed 3. There are some issues with the way Caldwell is behaving, given his role in this whole plot. Is it possible he wasn't the intended bad guy from the beginning? We do like the fact that he was probably a goa'uld THE WHOLE TIME!
All the stuff with Teyla and Charan is really sweet and Rachael has a very lovely voice. As much as we love a good montage, it's usually to show a long passage of time, but this was only 30 minutes? Did we need a montage?

| Stargate SG1 - Ripple Effect | 13 Nov 2025 | 01:24:28 | |
Ripple Effect brings back some dearly departed characters, but there are also shenanigans afoot. And we did not see that twist coming. Once we find out that the whole universe jumping was planned, we're not sure it makes sense. It just seems to ask more questions than it answers. We love this episode. It's a lot of fun, but there were some missed opportunities. Who would you have brought back on an SG1 team just for a little cameo? Why wasn't the cast of Wormhole X-Treme one of the alternate SG1s? We did take a little issue with Landry refusing to allow time to find a solution to get all the stranded teams home. His SGC isn't under any immediate threat like some of the other worlds are. He couldn't give them 24 hours? Finally, buckle up folks, cos Wagner has chimed in on time dilation and the issues with Epiphany. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch | |||
| Stargate Atlantis - Epiphany | 06 Nov 2025 | 00:57:03 | |
In Epiphany, John is trapped in a time dilation bubble where time is passing much faster for him. Can the team save him before he dies of old age? This episode is not among our favorites. The script seems a little clunky in parts and the characters are not making the best choices. And Rodney wastes so much time telling people he doesn't have time to explain what's happening because that would waste time. What's with Teer's visions of John? This whole storyline just opens up way more questions that we're not sure we want answered. Don't get us started on the ending. All those people had to do was just stare up at the beast and that banished it? That's too much for us even by "Because TV!" standards.
