Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast

This week on Watergate, we switch things up with Rachael taking the lead as Kerri is freshly back from vacation. The Russians have a Stargate?!?! There is much discussion about how to determine which gate is the main gate and how the DHD plays into that vs. the SGC's power source for the gate. And this is a conversation we will return to in the episode 48 Hours (we think). What reports did the Russians read that made them realize they needed something like the Extreme Measures Protocol? All the snarking between Jack and Dr. Markov is amazing.

It's finally time! Window of Opportunity is here! Find out why our podcast is named after this episode and learn about our new nightclub venture. What question was Daniel asking Jack in the commissary? Thinking about how time travel works always ends up hurting my brain. How do you think Teal'c answers the phone? What's your favorite off-loop activity that Jack and/or Teal'c do?

Be sure to stay tuned all the way to the end for a little peak behind the scenes…

To be honest upfront, we do not like Divide and Conquer. At all. The zatarc plotline could have been interesting if they'd had more time to develop it. Sadly, we just don't get the whole Jack/Sam of this episode. Where did it come from? Why is it here? Do you get it? Can you please explain it to us? Why did it have to be Martouf? We like Martouf. Farewell, Freya. It was interesting having you around.

On Crossroads, we learn that Jack is actually Teal'c's apprentice! Also, Jaffa can communicate with their symbiotes. What games do you think Teal'c and Shau'nac stayed up all night playing? Unfortunately, the Tok'ra screw over Earth once again. Tanith really wasn't playing things as close to the vest as he should have.

Also, go watch Stonehenge Apocolypse.

SG1 are superheroes this week on Upgrades! Jack is starting to get real tired of the Tok'ra who come calling and we just give in to whatever they want. The whole experiment around the armbands seems to be missing some parameters. Like, how do you take it off? How long is the experiment going to go on for? Also, steak….. And never bet against Amanda in a game of pool.

Stargate got it right this week with The Other Side. But the SGC may have not because how did a discussion about what to do in this situation not happen before now? This is probably also one of the most important episodes in Jack and Daniel's relationship.

It's time to start Season 4 with Small Victories! We get the introduction of Teal'c's chin worm and they got to film on an actual Russian sub. The Asgard want OUR help? Sam is just dumb enough for the task! Why haven't the Replicators figured out how to toss their blocks as a type of projectile weapon? Can any Replicator become a queen?

It's our Season 3 Wrap-Up! Where Rachael and I actually agree on almost everything. Also, sorry for the Glee talk. We play some games, talk about the Best-Ofs, and what Jack would have done if he hadn't joined the SGC. Plus, General Hammond as Austin Powers? And check our Twitter for polls to vote and see if you agree with us!

In Nemesis, it's Thor and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day as we finally meet the enemy that has been such a scourge to the Asgard - the Replicators! Why exactly is Thor dying? What happened to him? Is it also appendicitis? Are the little wings on the Replicators used for communication or something else? Teal'c also has one of his greatest lines when he declares, "One small step for Jaffa."

Shid.

It's time to meet Daniel's grandfather in Crystal Skull! No, not the Indiana Jones movie. And just like every sci-fi show where someone is "invisible," what exactly are the rules of that? Did you know there are flavors of leptons? There are so many excellent quips and one-liners this week. The way Nick plays being able to hear and see Daniel but not believing Daniel is actually there is just fantastic. Why are SG1 skeptical about the giant aliens existing when they deal with aliens on a daily basis?

And stay tuned to the end for an outtake!
