Stargate Atlantis - Hot Zone

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/01/16

Nobody makes good decisions this week when an Ancient viral lab is discovered in Hot Zone. This episode is just one massive NO for Rachael while Kerri can kind of see both sides of the issues between Weir and Sheppard. However, both of them do agree that it is very difficult to understand Peterson’s thought process which lead to him trying to make his way back to the city. In the end, though, it comes down to the plot dictating what they characters had to do rather than the characters’ actions

Stargate SG1 - It's Good To Be King

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/01/09

SG1 find Maybourne doing just fine for himself this week in It’s Good To Be King. Though the planet may be under imminent threat by the goa’uld Ares, he’s not worried. SG1 are there to save the day! The prophecy says so. Where is the lost episode of what happened when Harry arrived on that planet? Also, we’re really not that surprised that Maybourne became the king. He is Maybourne. Do the Jaffa do improv? Have they created Whose Jaffa Is It Anyway, yet? INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch

Stargate Atlantis - The Defiant One

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/01/02

Sheppard must face off against a lone wraith that’s been trapped on a planet for 10,000 in The Defiant One. Joining us to start the New Year with a bang are Rachael’s nephews! They’ve barely seen any Stargate episodes but they love it and will hopefully watch more. Are all wraith left-handed? Can/do they feed with both hands? Where exactly did the puddle jumper shield come from? Has the jumper always been able to do that or did it come from the wraith? Also, continuing in the tradition

Stargate SG1 - Prometheus Unbound

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/12/26

Daniel is captured along with the Prometheus by the most beautiful super soldier you’ve ever seen in Prometheus Unbound. That’s right. Vala’s here!! Perhaps some of the jokes didn’t age well, but we still love it. And Claudia Black is just perfect. It’s also really fun seeing Hammond out there doing the thing that he never got to do in his time as commander of the SGC. Also, we end with an interesting discussion about why the SGC doesn’t have golf carts (or something similar) for when

Stargate Atlantis - The Eye

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/12/19

The storm finally arrives in Atlantis in The Eye. This episode is great. Sheppard is a badass. And also really smart. But was all the death he caused strictly necessary? It’s awesome that Ford finally has some awesome stuff to do but how he treats Beckett as the episode continues is a bit much. The visual effects in this episode are truly outstanding. The awards it was nominated for and won were well deserved. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch THREADS: SG_Rewatch DISCORD:

Stargate SG1 - Gemini

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/12/12

Sam meets her Replicator double and makes some very bad choices this week in Gemini. Returning to chat about this episode with us is our good friend and soon to be yours, Evelyn! (Apologies in advance for the many tangents we go on.) This episode does the twist reveal really well. You know something’s up because it’s the Replicators but when you learn what’s actually going on, it is shocking. Also, they finally use the Alpha Site for what they should have been using it for all along! Who

Stargate Atlantis - The Storm

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/12/05

The Atlanteans go into Survival Mode as they prepare to face The Storm. But then the Genii show up to throw a massive wrench into their plans. The one good thing this episode does give us? The start of the Rodney & Zelenka fun times. The two Davids just play off each other so well. The Genii plan is quite a genius one, really. Why not try and take over a city when most of its inhabitants are gone? There’s also another round of Live Googling. This time by Rachael! And RIP Cory Monteith

Stargate SG1 - Endgame

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/11/28

The Trust goes to war with the goa’uld (and Jaffa) this week in Endgame. The opening scene of this episode is one of the best in a long time. It’s just fun and really feels like the random conversations people working together would have. The one weird thing with this episode, though, is Daniel doing the various interrogations. The first especially reads like it was originally written for Jack. There’s discussion about how far you have to move a gate before its address no longer works. Also,

Stargate Atlantis - Home

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/11/21

The Atlantis team heads back to Earth in Home. Or do they? Rachael raises some excellent points about how the “mist beings” operate and that it doesn’t seem to be an effective way of keeping themselves alive. Of course, that would lead to a much shorter or non-existent episode. Whoops…. We desperately wanted to see Teyla’s shipping montage. We LOVE a montage! Give it to us now! They did do a really good job of interlacing everyone’s realities in such a way that it was immediately

Stargate SG1 - Sacrifices

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/11/14

Teal’c faces two problems this week on Sacrifices - the Hak’tyl are under attack and his son is getting married! At this point in the life of the SGC, why do they not have a designated off-world base specifically for refugees? It really doesn’t make sense to keep bringing people to Earth all the time. It is interesting to see the change in heart the SGC has had concerning the killing of the goa’uld from how they faced things at the start of the series. WHAT IS THE RITE OF ORNOC??? Tell us

Stargate Atlantis - Underground

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/11/07

We meet the Atlanteans' best adversarial ally (thank you, Rachael) this week when we find the Genii Underground. Did you know Genii is the plural form of genie? What were the circumstances in which Tyrus and sora changed into their military uniforms after being told to bring Ford and Teyla to Cowen? Cos that’s a little weird if you stop to think about it. And, if you know anything about us, you know Rachael has Things To Say about the fact that the Genii know what uranium is and call it by

Stargate SG1 - Covenant

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/10/31

The story being told this week in Covenant is one that has been touched on several times - should the Stargate be made public? This specific iteration is interesting as it's from the civilian point of view but, again, some of the specifics end up letting us down a little. We do think the animation they did on the Asgard clone Alec had was really good. Sam is also excellent during her interview with Julia Donovan and talking around the truth while also not actually lying. The one big issue

Stargate Atlantis - Poisoning the Well

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/10/24

The Atlanteans come up against a moral quandary this week in Poisoning the Well. Even if the Hoffans are able to make the Wraith unable to feed on them, it is highly unlikely they will just be left alone. The storing of knowledge they do is a really great way to ensure they don’t regress too far when their population is culled. John getting Steve to tell him all the hive ships have become active isn’t really useful because how many is all? INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch THREADS: SG_Rewatch

Stargate SG1 - Affinity

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/10/17

Teal’c tries to have a normal life outside the SGC and Sam gets engaged in Affinity but it all ends up being filled with the sorts of tropes and cliches that make this feel more like Stargate: Melrose Place than Stargate: SG1. There are a couple of high points, though: Teal’c bending over so the one guy punches the top of his head; Daniel asking Sam, “So, how’s things?”; Teal’c’s addition of “where you stand” when he threatens to kill Doug; and Pete thinking to check with the local pizza place

Stargate Atlantis - Childhood's End

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/10/10

John and his team run into a society where no one is older than 24 in Childhood’s End. We do have to wonder about what actually happens to a jumper if it loses power mid-flight. Wouldn’t it just plummet straight to the ground since it doesn’t have wings like a plane to help it glide? But it’s a TV show so it all works out fine. It seems odd that the knowledge of the shield generator device has been lost to time even though the sacrifices continue with how connected the two things seem to be

Stargate SG1 - Avatar

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/10/03

We break down the SG1 video game that never was this week with Avatar. In which the SGC messes with alien technology again to try and adapt it for use on Earth because they still haven’t learned their lesson. While we have questions about how some of this all worked, overall we liked it. It was fun. There really should have been some way to get Teal’c out that didn’t just rely on Teal’c doing something in the game. There are also some knowledge drops about “death by a thousand cuts” and the

Stargate Atlantis - Suspicion

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/09/26

The Athosians are accused of being wraith spies in Suspicion. Which, things went very extreme very quickly when there were many other avenues to investigate. Why is the immediate answer to this problem that they have a spy in their midst rather than someone being tracked without their knowledge? We’re also missing a scene where Teyla learns the truth of what’s been happening and they apologize to her. That really needed to be done. What’s with John and sandwiches? And did the expedition

Stargate SG1 - Icon

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/09/19

Daniel gets trapped off-world (again) this week in Icon. Would this have been better if it was Teal’c stuck on another planet? We think so, because then that would have gotten rid of the unnecessary vaguely romantic subplot. The SGC establishing contact through an artifact in a museum is an interesting concept, but the overall plot is something that is all too familiar. Also, Soren should have been a goa’uld. We also would have liked to have more scale as to the actual devastation because they

Stargate Atlantis - Thirty-Eight Minutes

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/09/12

The puddle jumper gets stuck in a gate and John’s team only has 38 minutes to solve the problem. Despite the many plotholes in this episode, it’s still enjoyable and a very fun watch. Weir is fantastic in this episode. McKay’s panic is a little much, but understandable. The introduction of Zelenka is wonderful and we’re so glad the writers kept him around.

Stargate SG1 - Zero Hour

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/09/05

RIP Obi Ndefo. You will be missed. Rachael loves this episode. Kerri likes it well enough but there are quite a few scenes/conversations that really need some more clarification. She is glad that Walter Harriman’s name is finally settled as Walter Harriman and he is no longer the man with two names. We do both love that there are many moments in this episode where characters voice questions and issues we ourselves have mentioned previously. Pierre Bernard’s Recliner of Rage:
