Stargate SG1 - Collateral Damage

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/10/30

Colonel Mitchell becomes Collateral Damage when he's arrested for murder! And he's confessed! This episode sparks some thought-provoking conversations about memory and whether this process is something you would want to undergo. Rachael makes a really interesting point that a person knowing the memories are implanted but still believing they are their own knowledge is a weird disconnect. There's also the point of having the knowledge of how to do something versus actually doing it can be very

Stargate Atlantis - The Hive

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/10/23

Will John and his team escape from the wraith? Will Rodney be able to get help in time? Find out as we discuss The Hive. Ford continues to be a petulant teenager, and we love it. Also, everyone does a really great job acting through the withdrawal of the wraith enzyme. The first time watching this episode, Kerri totally did not see the twist with Neera being a spy for the wraith coming. Rachael did. So, for once, Rachael is smarter than Kerri! Getting the wraith to start fighting themselves is truly

Stargate SG1 - The Fourth Horseman, Part 2

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/10/16

Will Earth survive the Prior Plague? Will the Jaffa give in to Gerak and become slaves to the Ori? Find out as we discuss The Fourth Horseman, Part 2. Luckily, we didn’t have to wait three months this time. Why are the Sodan not surprised to see Mitchell, considering they all think he’s dead? Why is no one talking about that? And why do they only have one plan for getting blood from the Prior? It seems silly that all the world leaders from the International Committee show up in person at the SGC,

Stargate Atlantis - The Lost Boys

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/10/09

John’s team is kidnapped by an old friend this week in The Lost Boys. And coming soon to Netflix near you, The Found Boys starring Christopher Walken and Helena Bonham Carter, because, somehow, there is no movie or TV show called The Found Boys. So, we make one up. We kind of get why, but it’s funny to think of Aiden just being a fully petulant teenager in this episode. The interesting thing is, though, no one denies that the enzyme can increase a person’s physical abilities, but the big problem

Stargate SG1 - The Fourth Horseman, Part 1

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/09/25

Earth is under threat from the Prior Plague in The Fourth Horseman, Part 1. In addition, the storyline with Gerak pushing so hard for the Jaffa to officially follow Origin is quite interesting. As is pointed out several times, you can’t legislate religious belief. It will be interesting to see how this fully plays out (cos we don’t remember exactly). Rachael also has an interesting take on Orlin’s appearance in this episode. Would the creepy parts of this have been less creepy if Orlin

Stargate SG1 - Prototype

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/09/18

SG1 finds a strange man in a stasis chamber this week in Prototype. And what do they do with this strange man? Bring him back to the SGC, of course! Daniel being the one to suggest not keeping Khalek alive is very interesting. Because if he’s saying that, it should be a clue as to how dangerous Khalek truly is. But why does Khalek know who Daniel is? He shouldn’t, since Anubis used his DNA (and therefore the genetic memory) from before he ascended. What exactly are the rules of ascension

Stargate Atlantis - Conversion

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/09/04

John’s turning into a wraith! Can the team find a cure in time before the Conversion is complete? We really like how they’ve written John in this episode (and his make-up). His checking that Teyla was okay after their kiss was an excellent decision. Though, we do have some concerns over them not addressing what would happen if they weren’t able to save John and the fact that so much time and personnel are spent saving one man. Important as he may be. Caldwell continues to be one of the most

Stargate SG1 - Babylon

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/08/28

Due to pending technical issues, we speed run this week’s discussion of SG1’s Babylon. But don’t worry. We’re still funny. We hope… We wish we had more information about the Sodan. We’re told they’re these amazing warriors that have inspired Jaffa all throughout the galaxy, but why? From what we see happen, they were banished by their goa’uld and then just lived off on their own without any regard for what was happening with all the other Jaffa. We really like how they’re writing Mitchell,

Stargate Atlantis - Instinct

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/08/21

We learn some very interesting things about wraith physiology this week on Instinct. Also, Beckett is working on a way to turn wraith into full humans. Do the wraith have families? How much fun would Ronon be at a party? Even though it’s a bad thing that Ellia does still feed on people, how she goes about doing it is quite smart. There’s a new sound effect we need help with: the wraith screech. Is it related to the symbiote screech? Are they the same? Or is it Alan Tudyk?? There is a timeline

Stargate SG1 - Ex Deus Machina

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/08/14

SG1 learns that Ba’al has been hiding on Earth since his defeat at the battle of Dakara in Ex Deus Machina. We like that the goa’uld are still a thing in this new Ori era of storytelling. We now have the new Stargate sitcom spinoff: Sugar Ba’als. Coming to SyFy next summer! As much as Ba’al can’t be trusted to hold up his end of the promise he makes to live on Earth in peace, it would have been interesting to explore that. Just, every now and then we check in with Ba’al on a beach in

Stargate Atlantis - Trinity

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/08/07

This week on Trinity, Rodney destroys 3/4s (well, 5/6s) of a solar system but does he learn anything from it? Also, Ronon is not alone as he had thought. We really like this episode but we have a major issue with trying to figure out how much time actually passes in this episode. The stuff that Rodney and his team are working on should take several weeks if not months but it seems as if only a day has passed based on Ronon and Teyla’s adventure. Speaking of, getting more of Ronon’s history

Stargate SG1 - Beachhead

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/07/31

Vala makes a heroic sacrifice to try and save the galaxy from an Ori incursion this week in Beachhead. We finally meet the goa’uld hacker! And he is not what we expected. But he is exactly what Vala expected and nobody else would listen to her. We do have an issue with just how straight up mean and rude everyone is to her in certain scenes. There are two things we were quite happy to see happen this week, though: they met up with a possible adversary on a neutral planet before coming back

Stargate Atlantis - Condemned

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/07/24

John’s team finds a civilization seemingly as advanced as they are this week in Condemned. But how exactly is this society untouched by the wraith? The answer is not what you might expect. The story matter being addressed is sadly still relevant today. While Torrell is an interesting character, some of his monologuing is a bit much. We have a challenge for you, our lovely listeners! What technobabble monologue should Rachael and I memorize to perform during our season 2 warp-up episode? Send us

Stargate SG1 - The Powers That Be

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/07/17

What starts as a fun romp with Vala visiting an old planet she had ruled over as a goa’uld turns deadly serious as a Prior of the Ori returns in The Powers That Be. This episode starts bringing up an interesting point - can you talk someone out of faith/religious belief through logic and reason? Because, when you get down to it, those two things are diametrically opposed. Faith exists without logic and reason. It just is. So, when the being asking for religious devotion is evil, how do you

Stargate Atlantis - Duet

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/07/10

Rodney gets a temporary houseguest when Cadman winds up in his brain after an incident with a wraith dart in Duet. Why did the Atlantis expedition never take the jumper cloaking technology and make it personal sized? It’s weird that no one tells Katie Brown what’s going on with Rodney. It doesn’t seem to really be a secret and also something that would easily explain his seemingly strange actions and attitude. This is a really fun episode especially after the very serious and heavy start

Stargate SG1 - The Ties That Bind

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/07/03

The team, not SG1, is off an a galaxy-wide treasure hunt this week to try and break The Ties That Bind. While we can admit that Vala is a bit much and some of the writing is doing her a disservice, we do still love her and Daniel’s chemistry. We also get the official introduction of the Lucian Alliance and all these bad guys coming out of the woodwork now that the goa’uld are gone is really interesting. The commentary gives us some insight into where exactly the bathrooms are on a

Stargate Atlantis - Runner

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/06/26

Jason Momoa has entered the chat! Yes, the episode we’ve all been waiting for - the arrival of Ronon Dex. But why is no one else concerned with UV exposure like Rodney is? It’s really important! There’s some interesting tension now between John and Caldwell over who is actually in charge when Caldwell is on Atlantis. Generally, this is a really interesting episode for Rodney. He’s doing all the Rodney things but then he actually shoots Ford and it’s all kinds of amazing. And now that

Stargate SG1 - Origin

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/06/19

We finally meet the new big bad for Stargate in Origin. But just how evil are the Ori? Is it the religion or the men we need to be concerned with? What exactly is their relationship to the Ancients we already know? TPTB have gotten some amazing guest stars already with Louis Gossett, Jr. as Gerak! He will be an interesting character to get to know over the season. Was it really such a good idea for Mitchell to just bring that Prior back through the gate to the SGC? They know nothing about him

Stargate SG1 - Avalon, Part 2

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/06/12

Will the team make it out alive or be squished like bugs? Let’s find out as we continue our season 9 rewatch with Avalon, Part 2. We love the call back to the communication stones from Citizen Joe. Whatever you do, do not play a drinking game with these episodes where you drink whenever someone says “Hallowed are the Ori” because you will die. It was strange how Fannis didn’t give Vala any kind of heads up about what was expected of her at tea with the Administrator’s wife. Or just say she
