Stargate Atlantis - The Long Goodbye

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2026/01/01

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

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/12/25

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

Stargate Atlantis - The Tower

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/12/18

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

Stargate SG1 - Ethon

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/12/11

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

Stargate Atlantis - Grace Under Pressure

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/12/04

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

Stargate SG1 - Stronghold

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/11/27

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

Stargate Atlantis - Critical Mass

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/11/20

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,

Stargate SG1 - Ripple Effect

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/11/13

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?

Stargate Atlantis - Epiphany

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/11/06

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

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
