Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 10 "Cure."

The hosts start out discussing which bands SG-1 characters would love, unfortunately this is not a crossover episode with the band The Cure.

We are back in classic SG-1 style with the costumes, the post-industrial backdrop, archeology, and great character moments. The emotional moments hit hard and the ethical dilemma was interesting and handled well.

Silvana gives a lesson on why Agile isn't done in medicine, Tegan rants about drug trials, and Eric gives a history lesson on Bath in England. No explosions in this episode!

Silvana, Eric, and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 9 "Allegiance." The Tok'ra and the Jaffa finally team up in this episode, is it everything the podcast hosts hoped it would be? Listen to find out.

This episode has another man shooting a gun in a circle...but it has a decidedly different feel that in last week's episode "The Other Guys." Jacob talks to Jack about having a Tok'ra symbiote, and Sam is noteably absent for this conversation. Teal'c unfortunately is acting like his Chulak alter ego attacking a Tok'ra in this episode, can we stop with that?

The Za'tarc detector is back! But is it useful? Does it change anything?

Silvana, Eric, and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 8 "The Other Guys." Silvana and Tegan were pleasantly surprised at how OK this episode was and Eric wasn't a big fan of the humor. Jonas Quinn is very quiet in this episode and this episode seems to have been made for Trekkies!

Eric and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 episode 7 "Shadow Play." Silvana will be back hosting soon but in the mean time SG-1 returns to Langara to negotiate about military tech with Jonas' people, the Kelownans. The SG-C wants Naquadria but the negotiations clearly aren't going anywhere.

The SG-C is starting to look like the Tollans in this episode, not wanting to share technology with a less technologically advanced society. SG-1 also just steal Naquadria from the Kelownan's and nobody calls them out for it!
