Stargate Atlantis - The Long Goodbye
Jan 100:52:00Tap to summarizeIt's another possession episode as Elizabeth and John are taken over by the last two survivors of a long-fought war in The Long Goodbye. Rachael was not a fan of this one. It's too similar to other recent episodes we've watched this season. We do both wish we had gotten some sort of backstory to Phebus and Thalen and why they're fighting this war and how they know each other. This episode does have a lot of unanswered questions that could have greatly improved the plot if they were explained.

Stargate SG1 - The Fourth Horseman, Part 1
Sep 2500:59:27Tap to summarizeEarth is under threat from the Prior Plague in The Fourth Horseman, Part 1. In addition, the storyline with Gerak pushing so hard for the Jaffa to officially follow Origin is quite interesting. As is pointed out several times, you can’t legislate religious belief. It will be interesting to see how this fully plays out (cos we don’t remember exactly). Rachael also has an interesting take on Orlin’s appearance in this episode. Would the creepy parts of this have been less creepy if Orlin was played by a girl?

Stargate SG1 - Prototype
Sep 1800:58:29Tap to summarizeSG1 finds a strange man in a stasis chamber this week in Prototype. And what do they do with this strange man? Bring him back to the SGC, of course! Daniel being the one to suggest not keeping Khalek alive is very interesting. Because if he’s saying that, it should be a clue as to how dangerous Khalek truly is. But why does Khalek know who Daniel is? He shouldn’t, since Anubis used his DNA (and therefore the genetic memory) from before he ascended. What exactly are the rules of ascension? Every time it gets brought up, they seem to change. Is it a spiritual thing or just a byproduct of evolution?

Stargate Atlantis - Conversion
Sep 400:47:04Tap to summarizeJohn’s turning into a wraith! Can the team find a cure in time before the Conversion is complete? We really like how they’ve written John in this episode (and his make-up). His checking that Teyla was okay after their kiss was an excellent decision. Though, we do have some concerns over them not addressing what would happen if they weren’t able to save John and the fact that so much time and personnel are spent saving one man. Important as he may be. Caldwell continues to be one of the most interesting characters because you’re never quite sure what his motivations for his actions are. The complete lack of any kind of plan when the team goes off on their first egg harvesting mission is a little concerning. Even if they don’t know what they’re going to find, shouldn’t that mean they overprepare for every possible scenario?

Stargate SG1 - Babylon
Aug 2800:36:30Tap to summarizeDue 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.

Stargate Atlantis - Instinct
Aug 2100:48:26Tap to summarizeWe 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?

Stargate SG1 - Ex Deus Machina
Aug 1400:47:06Tap to summarizeSG1 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.

Stargate Atlantis - Trinity
Aug 7, 202500:48:12Tap to summarizeThis 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.

Stargate SG1 - Beachhead
Jul 31, 202501:05:04Tap to summarizeVala 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!
