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 or what he wants. Maybe not the best decision.

There is some confusion over how the communication stones work given what we see happen after Daniel and Vala connect the second set of stones in the Ori galaxy. Who exactly woke up in the SGC infirmary? Was it Daniel and Vala or Harrid and Sallis?

Overall, this is a very interesting beginning to a new chapter in the Stargate saga. We’ll see how well they meet their own brief of commenting on the men and not the religion itself.

We end with an interesting discussion of what we would like to see in whatever new Stargate series might be coming our way. Do we want more SG1 or perhaps more Atlantis given its unfinished ending?

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 was sick and wasn’t going to make it. And this all leads to one of the most graphic scenes in all of Stargate - the burning of Vala.

There are massive changes afoot at Stargate Command as Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell tries to get the team back together in the season 9 premiere, Avalon Part 1.

What does goa’uld money look like? Do they have what we would consider money? Crypto, maybe?

We love the dynamic between Daniel and Vala so much. It’s so fun and different from anything else on the show. They’re amazing.

We’re continuing with Stargate Atlantis as we delve into The Intruder. Given the plot, of course, we have to know what a wraith hacker is like. And who would be the better hacker - the goa’uld or the wraith?

We’re really liking Caldwell. He might be in charge, but he still takes advice from people who have more information about certain situations.

We are confused by Weir and Simon’s relationship. What exactly are they to each other? It just seems so odd that he would consider a year such a long time that he ended up meeting someone else.

It is kind of funny, though, that the solution to the problem is to turn it off and on again.

We have called an audible and are starting with the conclusion to the intense final episodes of Atlantis season 1 with Season 2, episode 1, The Siege: Part 3.

There is so much that happens, but even so, it is very well paced. It starts off with a bang and just keeps going. We do love the small moments of comedy they were able to fit in amongst all the insanity, too.

And poor Rodney. Can he please just sit down for five seconds?

Before we move on to SG1 season 9 and Atlantis season 2, we’re taking a little break and watching David Hewlett’s directorial debut - A Dog’s Breakfast! It’s a delightfully eccentric horror-comedy in the vein of classic British movies of yore - Pink Panther, Arsenic and Old Lace, A Fish Called Wanda.

There’s also a crap ton of Stargate people in it. Including Christopher Judge as a guy who can’t get a date! What?? Tune in to find out what we thought. 

Also, SPOILERS!! There is a twist at the end of the movie that we discuss in detail.

Time to wrap things up as we discuss Stargate Atlantis season 1. The highs. The lows. The best and not so best.

Some of the choices for our Top 5 episodes might surprise you. And you might want to make sure you’re not drinking anything during Rachael’s game. You will spit it out and make a mess.

And there are further discussions about toilets on puddle jumpers. There have to be but it’s gotta be super awkward.

Time to wrap things up as we discuss Stargate SG1 season 8. We debate our favorite episodes, guest stars, and some of the things that maybe didn’t work so well.

We also answer listener questions about the entire Stargate series to date! What was successful? What wasn’t? Will we ever see the Furlings?

Don’t forget to check out the Discord (link below!) to vote in the polls so we know who is right and who is wrong.

We’ve reached the end of Season 1 of Atlantis with one hell of a cliffhanger in The Siege Part 2. 

This episode is a really good example of what we felt was missing from some of the final episodes of SG1 season 8. Where the military are doing their job but there’s still a feeling that there are emotions being displayed where it’s clear they understand the severity of the situation.

All that said, this episode is so intense and they do a really good job of balancing the moments of hope with the moments of despair.

The end of season 8 arrives with Moebius, Part 2. And it’s a good one.

We are so happy to see Kawalsky back and he looks very happy to be there. We do wish the script had been a little more explicit as to what exactly is happening on this mission that they only refer to as “the mission.”

Christopher Judge’s performance as the alternate Teal’c is really amazing. He’s usually so stoic so to get to see all these emotions play out on his face is really nice.

Our one complaint is still about the Jack/Sam stuff. There’s just no build-up to the moment of them getting together. It’s just Jack calls her hot out of nowhere and that’s it. Where was the flirting? Where were the side-long glances at each other? We needed more.
