Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast

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.

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….

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 THREADS: SG_Rewatch DISCORD: https://discord.gg/65kMPzBuaN MERCH: https://showclub.redbubble.com/ EMAIL: [email protected]

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….

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!
