Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast

With us to discuss Maternal Instinct is our very good friend Karen! We finally get SG1 asking for back-up!! We also create a new spin-off: Law & Order: Chulak. Someone make the t-shirt! And with three Vancouver Actor's BINGO squares being marked off this week, does anyone have BINGO yet? Sadly, we're still no closer to figuring out what "Because it is so clear, it takes a longer time to realize it, if you immediately know the candlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago" means.

The events of New Ground probably should have happened before and it's interesting that it hasn't happened more. If Nefertum had been on the show, who should be cast to play him? Nyan is really such a good guy and it's a shame we never saw him again.

What was the full speech that Daniel never got to give to the Tollan High Council as Jack just had to go and mess things up in Shades of Grey. We also shamelessly steal from the Cobra Guys and do a little Stargate Theater! Who was a better Jack or Daniel? Vote now! Why does Michael insist on flirting with everyone? It's very distracting. We finally know how the Goa'uld communication ball devices work! Or do we? Rachael is now the official ball (Ba'al?) monitor. Maybourne really should be more suspicious of Jack's actions. It's just unfortunate that Makepeace picked the wrong guy to start a side hustle with. But, what exactly was the point of the sting operation?

After a brief recap of Creation's Salute to Stargate convention this past weekend, we get into discussing Jack's A Hundred Days on Edora. It has been decided that Shane Meier is now part of Vancouver Actors BINGO, so update your cards! Why didn't Garan tell his mother about the caves? Should this episode have been a two-parter? And more thinking too hard about how the gate works from a technical perspective. As much as we like Laira, it's kind of odd that she asks Jack to give her a child. Not to be with her or have a relationship, she just wants a child. What exactly is the difference between a game and a sport?

RIP Dom DeLuise. No one could have played Urgo as well as you. We still have many, many questions about pre-mission research of planets before sending people there. Do you like pie? Cos Jack LOVES it. Death or Urgo. Urgo or death. Cake or death? What if Urgo is alive? Also! Kerri will be at the Creation Stargate Con in Chicago this weekend! Come find her and say hi!

More spellcheck-based fun facts this week on Pretense. There's also overthinking how the Stargate actually works. Zipacna has some gall to try and insist nothing of the host survives given what's happening at Triad. Also, Narim is super horny for Sam. Was Klorel's capture all a deceptive plot to get onto Tollana and destroy them?

Aliens once again invade the SGC with a Foothold situation. Does the SGC have a dry cleaner on base? Are we sure the SGC doesn't want to keep people in? Because it should… There are also just some general security plotholes that can break your brain if you think about it too much. Sam also makes the leap to the aliens having a live connection to their SG counterpart way too quickly without really any reasoning. How exactly do mirage clothing and props work? Because somehow the fake Jack and Daniel changed clothes when they shouldn't have been able to? Finally, where are the real SG6?

Apophis is back in The Devil You Know. But he's really not good at interrogation torture. Have the Tok'ra seen Star Wars? What exactly did Sokar think happened to Apophis when he was sent down to Netu?

It does seem a little weird that Jolinar never said anything about how she escaped. Not even in writing. OK, so, why can't they take more SG teams with them on this mission to Netu? Oh, that's right. No one can ever have backup on any mission. Jack has some really good one-liners this week. Delmak is not ALF's homeworld; that's Melmac. It's the return of the goa'uld set designer speculation! Do the Tok'ra ever actually know anything or do they just believe and hope all the time?

Stay tuned for a special bonus at the very end…

The Book of Am-Tuat: https://www.sacred-texts.com/egy/bat/index.htm

Past and Present should not have aired immediately after Forever in a Day. The romantic subplot kind of ruins what would have otherwise been a good episode. Why was Linea still calling herself Linea? But seriously, what ARE the SGC's quarantine protocols? The Vyans should create a game show called Are You The Spouse?
