Stargate Atlantis - Tao of Rodney

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2026/10/08

Rodney once more comes close to death in Tao of Rodney. This episode really is something special. Rachael thinks this is in her all-time top Atlantis episodes! This episode does some address some thing we've always wondered about. Like, there were supposedly large parts of the city underwater yet not much of Atlantis looks to be waterlogged. Also, Rodney insisting on being quarantined or at least kept in the infirmary for a while after the initial incident is a nice change of pace. If Rodney was

Stargate SG1 - The Shroud

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2026/10/01

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

Stargate Atlantis - Irresponsible

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2026/09/24

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….

Stargate SG1 - The Road Not Taken

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2026/09/17

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

Stargate Atlantis - Echoes

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2026/09/10

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

Stargate SG1 - Line in the Sand

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2026/09/03

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

Stargate Atlantis - The Return, Part 2

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2026/08/27

John and his team try to save Atlantis from the Asurans and from being destroyed by the Daedalus while also rescuing General O'Neill and Robert Woolsey in The Return, Part 2. Apologies in advance for the sound going garbly at some points. That was not present during the recording and was only discovered during editing. It's really great having Jack back in the show. Especially when he's the Jack we know and love from the earlier seasons of SG1. The "twist" in this episode is really well done and a

Stargate SG1 - The Quest, Part 2

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2026/08/20

The trials for the Sangreal continue in The Quest, Part 2. And this episode isn't really the conclusion you think it is. We're a little unsure as to the origins of the dragon/wyvern. Where did Morgan get it from? Also, it just blips out of existence at the end, so what is it even real at all? We would like answers to that, please. There also doesn't seem to really be any reason for Merlin to be so cryptic about what he's doing. Especially when he leaves his memories for Daniel to complete the task

Stargate Atlantis - The Return, Part 1

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2026/08/13

The Atlantis expedition finally meets living Ancients and it doesn't quite go as expected in The Return, Part 1. While the McKay-Carter Intergalactic Gate Bridge is a really awesome idea, there are some questions we have about how it works and how things might go wrong that we wish they would have talked about. While this episode is mostly fine, we do have some major concerns over how the Ancients actually treat the people currently inhabiting Atlantis. So much has changed since the last time the

Stargate SG1 - The Quest, Part 1

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2026/08/06

The hunt for Merlin's weapon is on in earnest as SG1 team up with some unlikely allies in The Quest, part 1. We love the barkeep in the village. She's amazing and is absolutely perfect for this part. How would you guys fare in a situation such as this? Or in an escape room? We debate if we would rock it or just completely fall apart. It is a little strange that there's no comment or conversation about trying to help the people stuck in the time dilation field. Even if they can't do anything in the

Stargate Atlantis - Phantoms

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2026/07/30

Most of John's team starts losing their minds when they're trapped off-world with wraith experimental tech this week in Phantoms. We briefly discuss the possible non-cancellation of the new Stargate series. We're just so confused about what Amazon is doing. The technical decisions that were made to help tell this story are so appreciated. It would be very easy to get lost in what is actually going on, but we were never confused. This episode also has the characters making a lot of smart choices that

Stargate SG1 - Company of Thieves

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2026/07/23

There's a lot going on this week with SG1's Company of Thieves, but we're not sure the result is worth the sum of its parts. There are a few plot holes or missing scenes/dialogue that would help clarify some character choices that were made. It is fun getting confirmation that there are specific planets that were specifically held by the goa'uld to build their ships. Surely, there is a better plan than Mitchell going undercover and just keeping their fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong. Which,

Stargate Atlantis - McKay and Mrs. Miller

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2026/07/16

Rodney and his sister reconnect after not talking for four years in McKay and Mrs. Miller. We are big fans of this episode. It manages to strike a balance in taking the stakes seriously but still has lighter moments, so the overall episode doesn't feel too heavy. And the ending is just great where everyone agrees that Rod was actually a little creepy and they much prefer their own Rodney McKay instead. We love that they cast David Hewlett's real-life sister, Kate, as Rodney's sister because that

Stargate SG1 - Memento Mori

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2026/07/09

Vala is on the run when her memories are accidentally wiped by The Trust in Memento Mori. We really like this episode. Especially everyone's treatment of Vala and how they're actually starting to appreciate her and make her a full member of SG1. We have fun imaging what Teal'c said to Weaver in that interrogation scene and also what Christopher Judge said to the actor. There's also a brief detour into the fun world of Duolingo and what languages you can actually learn with that program. It's just

Stargate Atlantis - Common Ground

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2026/07/02

An old foe finally returns when John is taken by Kolya as a ruse to trade him for Ladon Radim in Common Ground. We still wonder if there will ever be an episode of a show like this where the whole expedition risks everything for Dave from the cafeteria, and just when it's one of the Big Names at risk. What would you all do if you were in Ladon's position? It's not an easy decision because right now the situation is just bad for one person, but if they give in to Kolya's demands, it would be bad for

Stargate SG1 - Counterstrike

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2026/06/25

The Jaffa take the battle to the Ori this week in Counterstrike. We get back into discussing interior design (which Ori is responsible for their ships?) and wondering if the SGC actually has a seamstress on staff. If they do, we want to see that series. There is a lot that happens in this episode, and the arrogance of the Jaffa and what they're doing is rather frustrating. We do appreciate the development of Daniel and Vala's relationship. And, actually, everyone's relationship to her. It's nice to

Stargate Atlantis - The Real World

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2026/06/18

Weir is in a psychiatric hospital and told that the Stargate isn't real in The Real World. This is not our favorite trope or scifi plot. We always know from the start that what the character is told is the truth isn't the truth and there's too much time spent there when we would much rather get to what's actually happening and spend the episode there. Rodney and Beckett are really fun together in this episode, though. Along with that older lady in the hospital who goes on about the cold-blooded

Stargate Atlantis - Progeny

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2026/06/04

An unlikely enemy is discovered in the Pegasus Galaxy this week in Progeny. We do start off with some sad news and the cancellation of the recently green-lit Stargate sequel/reboot. We don't understand why this happened or what changed since it was given the go-ahead back in November. We think there were perhaps some missed opportunities to hint at what was going on before the big reveal. Perhaps something weird is happening with the life signs detector? How they showed us the backstory of what

Stargate SG1 - Uninvited

Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast ·

2026/05/28

Unknown mutated creatures are attacking people off world and on Earth in Uninvited. Are the two related? What's causing this? The casualness of the death of all the people that are killed by these creatures is kind of upsetting to us. It just seems like the SGC writes it off as, "Oops. Our bad." Everyone being so dismissive of Vala is also confusing. She has actual relevant experience in what's happening and no one wants to even listen to her ideas. In general, this episode of perfectly fine but
