Stargate SG1 - Avenger 2.0

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/03/14

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

Stargate SG1 - Space Race

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/03/07

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

Stargate SG1 - Enemy Mine

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/02/29

This week’s episode on Enemy Mine comes live with sound effects as Kerri was dealing with a major thunderstorm during recording. So, apologies if this sounds a little rushed. Even if the plot of this episode isn’t entirely new, it’s always nice to see the Unas and Chaka again. Even if this is the last time we see them. Michael Rooker is excellent casting as Col. Edwards, the hard-headed military man present in every show. We also enjoy the double meaning of this week’s episode title. INSTAGRAM:

Stargate SG1 - Lifeboat

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/02/22

It’s an acting master class from Michael Shanks (and Teryl Rothery) as Daniel Jackson gets a dozen other consciousnesses downloaded into his brain in Lifeboat. Also, the actor who plays Pharrin does an absolutely incredible job. Would it have worked if all the members of SG1 had also had passengers downloaded into their brains? As much as we do love this episode, SG1 is always at its best when it’s The Team vs. The Problem. This episode is definitely one that we would have liked a better wrap-up

Stargate SG1 - Revisions

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/02/15

People's memories are being altered when SG1 visits a civilization that lives under a dome in Revisions. And Rachael actually remembered this one!! You will also probably learn more about Celtic mythology in this episode than you ever wanted to know. Rachael has a fascinating thought that it’s entirely possible the Council never actually held elections and the computer just appointed people to those positions. We really like this episode. As shows go on for longer, it’s nice to have these one-off

Stargate SG1 - Orpheus

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/02/08

Teal’c and Daniel both go through their own personal hell this week on Orpheus. We do start this episode with Kerri ranting about something that gets pointed out as a goof that is really not a goof at all. There’s also a rather thorough discussion of Jaffa anatomy as it pertains to their symbiote pouch. We are both very glad this episode was made. It was definitely necessary to dive deeper into what Teal’c on tretonin is like, both physically and mentally. The SGC knew many other Jaffa were in

Stargate SG1 - Fragile Balance

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/02/01

It’s Honey, We Shrunk O’Neill when he wakes up a teenager in Fragile Balance. While we do have some issues with this episode, you gotta give it to Michael Welch for being a fantastic Jack O’Neill. He really hit it out of the park. Would you guys like to be 15 again? We are frustrated, though, with the lack of respect Sam gets when giving the F302 briefing. And the whole clone swap thing never really made much sense. But remember, if you ever need to sit up straight, just clench your butt!

Stargate SG1 - Homecoming

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/01/18

Season 7 continues and we say goodbye to Jonas Quinn in Homecoming. It turns out, the cast make the same Yu/You jokes we do! And that’s always funny. How exactly do the rings work? They can be moved, which seems kind of weird. And if one stops working, do they all stop working? What do you guys think about Jonas joining Atlantis? Would that have worked?

Stargate SG1 - Fallen

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2024/01/11

We’re finally back with the season 7 premiere, Fallen. A Naked Michael Shanks is truly one of the best ways to hook a gal on a show. It is a little strange, though, how trusting SG1 are when Daniel just shows up and why they didn’t just think it was Ascended Daniel dropping in. Despite the fact that many of the character moments had to be left on the cutting room floor due to the demands of this being a TV show, we still like this. It really sets up what’s to come and gets the ball rolling.

The Christmas Lodge (2011)

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2023/12/25

SURPRISE! It’s our first very special episode where we have watched the 2011 Michael Shanks Christmas movie, The Christmas Lodge. As far as Christmas movies go, this one is fine. But, we never get to actually see these two people fall in love. They tell us that has happened, but we never get to see it. There are just general timeline issues with this movie that could use some work. Still, it’s fine. You don’t really need to watch this one, though. If you really want to watch this it is on Amazon

Stargate SG1 - Full Circle

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2023/12/07

We’ve reached the season 6 finale, Full Circle. An episode that could have been a series finale if need be. The conversation between Jack and Daniel in the elevator at the SGC is the best thing ever because it’s how friends actually talk and have conversations. But what exactly has Daniel been doing while he’s been ascended because the fact that he hasn’t met anyone besides Oma is quite strange. We get confirmation that The Ancients are the ascended beings! And Anubis is an ascended being!! Sort

Stargate SG1 - Prophecy

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2023/11/30

Hang on to your butts, folks. Things get a little weird with Prophecy. We’re live and in person! And with a special guest(s)! And we had margaritas! As we learn about Lord Mot, it brings back up the question of which came first - the System Lord or the god they impersonated? When a person starts having prophetic visions, the context is very important. Why exactly would Hammond just spill the information about the vision Jonas saw over the radio without confirmation that one of his soldiers is

Stargate SG1 - Memento

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2023/11/23

On this week’s episode, we have a very special guest to discuss the episode Memento (not the movie). It’s Rachael’s nephew Adam!! This is only the second episode ever that Adam has seen. And he has opinions on Teal’c. It’s interesting that the Prometheus while an Air Force staffed vessel is using Naavl protocol. Why didn’t the Prometheus have the necessary parts to repair the thing that makes the ship be able to travel in hyperspace? It’s kind of an important part of the ship and its operations

Stargate SG1 - The Changeling

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2023/11/16

Is Teal’c the titular Changeling in this week’s episode? Either way, this episode is excellent and it’s always nice to have Daniel Jackson back on our screens. Do people actually get called Probie in real life or is it a TV thing? The best thing in this episode is all the transitions between the two dream worlds. They are so smooth and so good. It’s a crime that Martin didn’t win an award for this episode. He directed the hell out of it. And now Teal’c is Junior-less. What will that mean for our

Stargate SG1 - Forsaken

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2023/11/09

For some reason, Forsaken is the one episode Rachael actually remembers! But does she? If the people from Hebridan are descended from the Celtic people, what does that mean as far as when that happened? Was Ra the first for the last goa’uld to take people from Earth? They finally take back-up with them!! It’s about time. Also, getting Reynard to just send them back to the SGC is such a power move and it’s awesome. There’s also a listener email that leads to an interesting discussion about the

Stargate SG1 - Disclosure

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2023/11/02

This week we’re getting things done commentary style for the season 6 clip show Disclosure. As far as clip shows go, this one is pretty good because there’s an actual plot supporting all the clips. There’s also commentary on the commentary, just to confuse everyone a little more. So, grab a snack, grab a drink, and get ready to hit play as you watch along with us!

Stargate SG1 - Metamorphosis

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2023/10/26

Turns out The Wilhelm Scream is not yet in the public domain! But that has nothing to do with Nirrti’s return in Metamorphosis. There is, however, once again, a severe lack of appropriate quarantine protocols when dealing with aliens. We also end with some discussion about the lack of personality that was given to Jonas. He’s fine, but there’s not much beyond him being smart and a nice guy. INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch THREADS: SG_Rewatch DISCORD: https://discord.gg/65kMPzBuaN EMAIL:

Stargate SG1 - Paradise Lost

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2023/10/19

Jack and Maybourne get stranded in Paradise Lost because, SURPRISE, Maybourne lied. Again. This episode has that problem Stargate sometimes does where the ending is very abrupt. It all comes down to the circles. They could fix it with one sentence from Jonas, though. And Rachael has the greatest idea ever for a Maybourne-centric spin-off: The Maybourne Identity. Why would Maybourne think an “invitation” that was found in an Ancient Egyptian tomb that is probably 2000 years old would lead to a

Stargate SG1 - Smoke and Mirrors

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2023/10/12

This week there are both Smoke AND Mirrors as Jack is accused of assassinating Senator Kinsey. Was anyone else hoping for a quick Daniel cameo when he was mentioned as being one that had a working mimic device? But of course, this whole thing comes down to money. Nobody ever said protecting Earth had to be a non-profit business. And Kinsey’s not even dead anyway. Every part of this was just full of smoke and mirrors. While it was great to see the mimic devices come back, they still didn’t
