The goa’uld and Asgard and Replicators! Oh, my! Everyone’s here in Reckoning, Part 1. Except for the Furlings. They’re always left out of everything. We do like this episode but some plot points are just a little too glossed over for our liking.

What is the context with people needing to be dying before they can ascend? Death has nothing to do with Ascension, right? It’s just about knowledge and enlightenment. Has that changed since the Ancients first did it? Why is Ascension now a “cake or death” situation?

We have now trademarked Baalogram.

The expedition finds an Ancient in stasis deep in the city. Or is she? Indeed not! Elizabeth Weir has traveled back in time and, with the help of an actual Ancient, has corrected the problems that led to the catastrophic failure of the first Atlantis mission in Before I Sleep.

The old age make-up done to age Torri is reall, really well done. There’s a few things this episode does that are really interesting: it uses time travel to help explain some of the “It’s TV! Of course it all worked out!” things from previous episodes; it shows us that the timeline we’re watching as viewers was not the prime timeline, which it usually is.

There might be an issue with the overall Stargate timeline as the evacuation of Atlantis back to Earth is happening at roughly the same time Ra discovers Earth and starts kidnapping people to make them slaves. How close in time did those two events actually happen?

And, of course, we hear from Wagner and how accurate the time travel and Rodney’s comments on it are in this episode.

It’s time for a clip show so we’re doing it commentary style! Break out your DVD, get Amazon cued up, and watch along with us as we revisit Citizen Joe. NOTICE: Since this is commentary style, there may be periods of dead as we just watch what’s happening. Don’t worry. We’ll be back with the witty commentary soon enough. (Also, Rachael is watching on Amazon with commercials so have your remotes ready to pause as needed…)

The story frame for this episode is pretty good as far as usual clip shows go. It was nice to revisit some storylines we haven’t seen in awhile - Skaara, Hathor, the Reetou! And, luckily, the stones will return in future episodes.

John gets his Captain Kirk on this week in Sanctuary. It is an episode that makes us ask, “Why?” and wonder if John is just kind of dumb. Could it be down to a new (and one-time) writer perhaps not having a great grasp of the characters?

But, back to break it all down with us is Evelyn! You asked and we listened. She has returned.

Why aren’t ZPMs rechargeable? They should be. Thank Athar for Teyla this episode. She truly is the voice of reason. Everyone else is so out of character that the choices they make and the things they do are just wrong and weird.

Kinsey is back but not quite himself this week in Full Alert. 

While the plot of this episode is rather interesting and we’re glad they’ve wrapped things up with The Trust, there are a few dangling threads we would like addressed: What actually happened to Kinsey? Are there any more goa’uld still hiding on Earth?

The reveal of Kiselev being a goa’uld, while cool, is kind of anticlimactic. As is the ending. This is an episode that really could have used a debriefing from Daniel and Pendergast about what happened in Russia and onboard the Prometheus.

Nobody makes good decisions this week when an Ancient viral lab is discovered in Hot Zone. This episode is just one massive NO for Rachael while Kerri can kind of see both sides of the issues between Weir and Sheppard. However, both of them do agree that it is very difficult to understand Peterson’s thought process which lead to him trying to make his way back to the city.

In the end, though, it comes down to the plot dictating what they characters had to do rather than the characters’ actions dictating the plot.

SG1 find Maybourne doing just fine for himself this week in It’s Good To Be King. Though the planet may be under imminent threat by the goa’uld Ares, he’s not worried. SG1 are there to save the day! The prophecy says so.

Where is the lost episode of what happened when Harry arrived on that planet? Also, we’re really not that surprised that Maybourne became the king. He is Maybourne.

Do the Jaffa do improv? Have they created Whose Jaffa Is It Anyway, yet?

Sheppard must face off against a lone wraith that’s been trapped on a planet for 10,000 in The Defiant One.

Joining us to start the New Year with a bang are Rachael’s nephews! They’ve barely seen any Stargate episodes but they love it and will hopefully watch more.

Are all wraith left-handed? Can/do they feed with both hands? Where exactly did the puddle jumper shield come from? Has the jumper always been able to do that or did it come from the wraith?

Also, continuing in the tradition of “where’s the bathroom in this thing”, the jumpers don’t seem to have toilets so how can they take 15-hour trips in it?

Daniel is captured along with the Prometheus by the most beautiful super soldier you’ve ever seen in Prometheus Unbound. That’s right. Vala’s here!!

Perhaps some of the jokes didn’t age well, but we still love it. And Claudia Black is just perfect.

It’s also really fun seeing Hammond out there doing the thing that he never got to do in his time as commander of the SGC.

Also, we end with an interesting discussion about why the SGC doesn’t have golf carts (or something similar) for when the teams go explore off-world.

The storm finally arrives in Atlantis in The Eye. This episode is great. Sheppard is a badass. And also really smart. But was all the death he caused strictly necessary?

It’s awesome that Ford finally has some awesome stuff to do but how he treats Beckett as the episode continues is a bit much.

The visual effects in this episode are truly outstanding. The awards it was nominated for and won were well deserved.
