This is an episode disliked by many where Stargate SG-1 isn’t so much about the sci-fi, but dares to dig into Earth’s political power structures — and how they might become the real threat.

In this review, I dig into why "Politics" is not only a good episode, but a necessary one — not just because of Senator Kinsey and how uncomfortably real he feels, but because the creators use this episode to question and justify their own existence and absolutely NAIL it.

This is also the first time where the viewer is left feeling dejected and we don't get a nice, wrapped in a bow happy ending. It was intended to make us think on it.

👉 Watching SG-1 face Senator Kinsey, and knowing the decision had already been made, would you keep trying to convince Kinsey like they did — or would you have handled it differently?
