Due to pending technical issues, we speed run this week’s discussion of SG1’s Babylon. But don’t worry. We’re still funny. We hope…

We wish we had more information about the Sodan. We’re told they’re these amazing warriors that have inspired Jaffa all throughout the galaxy, but why? From what we see happen, they were banished by their goa’uld and then just lived off on their own without any regard for what was happening with all the other Jaffa.

We really like how they’re writing Mitchell, and the way he is trying to make the Sodan understand how bad the Ori are is a completely different approach than we’ve seen in the past with regard to the goa’uld.

We learn some very interesting things about wraith physiology this week on Instinct. Also, Beckett is working on a way to turn wraith into full humans.

Do the wraith have families? How much fun would Ronon be at a party? 

Even though it’s a bad thing that Ellia does still feed on people, how she goes about doing it is quite smart. 

There’s a new sound effect we need help with: the wraith screech. Is it related to the symbiote screech? Are they the same? Or is it Alan Tudyk??

There is a timeline discrepancy in what’s going on with Goran and Zaddik. If Zaddik went missing two years after he found Ellia, what was happening for those two years?

SG1 learns that Ba’al has been hiding on Earth since his defeat at the battle of Dakara in Ex Deus Machina. We like that the goa’uld are still a thing in this new Ori era of storytelling. 

We now have the new Stargate sitcom spinoff: Sugar Ba’als. Coming to SyFy next summer!

As much as Ba’al can’t be trusted to hold up his end of the promise he makes to live on Earth in peace, it would have been interesting to explore that. Just, every now and then we check in with Ba’al on a beach in Mexico, chilling with his sugar mamas.

We do want to know what human name Ba’al is using and we don’t remember if it’s something that is actually revealed. For now, we shall call him Simon Cliff.

It is kind of fun that this episode actually has a Deus ex Machina in it. Even if it is completely ridiculous.

This week on Trinity, Rodney destroys 3/4s (well, 5/6s) of a solar system but does he learn anything from it? Also, Ronon is not alone as he had thought.

We really like this episode but we have a major issue with trying to figure out how much time actually passes in this episode. The stuff that Rodney and his team are working on should take several weeks if not months but it seems as if only a day has passed based on Ronon and Teyla’s adventure.

Speaking of, getting more of Ronon’s history is really interesting and Jason is really coming into his own as this character.

Vala makes a heroic sacrifice to try and save the galaxy from an Ori incursion this week in Beachhead. 

We finally meet the goa’uld hacker! And he is not what we expected. But he is exactly what Vala expected and nobody else would listen to her. We do have an issue with just how straight up mean and rude everyone is to her in certain scenes.

There are two things we were quite happy to see happen this week, though: they met up with a possible adversary on a neutral planet before coming back to the SGC and Mitchell referred to a 30 EARTH minutes!

John’s team finds a civilization seemingly as advanced as they are this week in Condemned. But how exactly is this society untouched by the wraith? The answer is not what you might expect.

The story matter being addressed is sadly still relevant today. While Torrell is an interesting character, some of his monologuing is a bit much.

We have a challenge for you, our lovely listeners! What technobabble monologue should Rachael and I memorize to perform during our season 2 warp-up episode? Send us an email or drop it in our Discord.

What starts as a fun romp with Vala visiting an old planet she had ruled over as a goa’uld turns deadly serious as a Prior of the Ori returns in The Powers That Be.

This episode starts bringing up an interesting point - can you talk someone out of faith/religious belief through logic and reason? Because, when you get down to it, those two things are diametrically opposed. Faith exists without logic and reason. It just is. So, when the being asking for religious devotion is evil, how do you counteract that?

We finally get definitive information as to what exactly is going on with Dr. Lam and General Landry. They’re father and daughter!

Rodney gets a temporary houseguest when Cadman winds up in his brain after an incident with a wraith dart in Duet. 

Why did the Atlantis expedition never take the jumper cloaking technology and make it personal sized? It’s weird that no one tells Katie Brown what’s going on with Rodney. It doesn’t seem to really be a secret and also something that would easily explain his seemingly strange actions and attitude.

This is a really fun episode especially after the very serious and heavy start to season 2.

Let us know: who would be the worst and the best brain to be stuck in?

And always remember, you can’t keep a horse in a bathtub.

The team, not SG1, is off an a galaxy-wide treasure hunt this week to try and break The Ties That Bind.  

While we can admit that Vala is a bit much and some of the writing is doing her a disservice, we do still love her and Daniel’s chemistry.

We also get the official introduction of the Lucian Alliance and all these bad guys coming out of the woodwork now that the goa’uld are gone is really interesting.

The commentary gives us some insight into where exactly the bathrooms are on a cargo ship.

Jason Momoa has entered the chat! Yes, the episode we’ve all been waiting for - the arrival of Ronon Dex. 

But why is no one else concerned with UV exposure like Rodney is? It’s really important! There’s some interesting tension now between John and Caldwell over who is actually in charge when Caldwell is on Atlantis.

Generally, this is a really interesting episode for Rodney. He’s doing all the Rodney things but then he actually shoots Ford and it’s all kinds of amazing.

And now that we’re into the actual start of this second season of Atlantis, we’re excited to see where it goes.
