Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast

Rodney once more comes close to death in Tao of Rodney.
This episode really is something special. Rachael thinks this is in her all-time top Atlantis episodes! This episode does some address some thing we've always wondered about. Like, there were supposedly large parts of the city underwater yet not much of Atlantis looks to be waterlogged. Also, Rodney insisting on being quarantined or at least kept in the infirmary for a while after the initial incident is a nice change of pace.
If Rodney was going to be a superhero, what would his super name be? It would have also been fun if they had been able to sprinkle in some other more "silly" side effects of Rodney's advancing intelligence. Can he now play the piano? Or maybe he suddenly figures out some long-standing Earth mystery? We didn't necessarily miss it, but it would have been fun.
The best parts of the episode, though, are the scenes at the end where Rodney goes around making amends to the various members of the Atlantis team. All the actors just do such a great job with everything they're given and it really brings such a weight to what's happening. But also, Rodney heals Ronon's scars so the show can get Ronon out of clothes….

Daniel has gone through an interesting change since the last time we saw him when he meets back up with SG1 in The Shroud. This is such an amazing episode. There's so much happening, and everyone really steps up to the plate. It's also great having more Jack and Daniel scenes.
We debate whether Daniel has gone Full Merlin and what that might actually mean. Also, we've decided that the process Daniel will go through to return to his normal self shall be known as dePriorization.
It's also rather interesting that, as complicated as the plan is to destroy the Ori is, they have no way of knowing if it actually works or not.

Everyone's favorite guy we love to hate is back as Lucius Lavin returns in Irresponsible.
This episode is quite fun despite some of the script issues with how the shield actually works this time around. We have fun discussions about secret rooms and what mechanism we would use for access. 
And it's always great having Kolya back on our screens. Even if he did have to die….

Sam is transported to an alternate universe, and we see what could have happened should the Stargate program have been made public in The Road Not Taken.
This episode is a fun side quest that hits a little too close to home these days. The casting decisions made to populate the alternate universe are really great. It helps to hit home that something is just a little off as soon as the episode starts. 
We really like how initially there's an actual dialogue happening with Sam and Hammond & Lorne about why they need her. It's nice to see them not going immediately evil and keeping her prisoner because they need her more.
The one question we have about the Earth being out of phase is: shouldn't the moon and all the objects that orbit the planet shoot off into space because there is no longer a planet for them to be in orbit around? And then what happens when the Earth comes back? Would everything on the planet now be out of whack because there's no moon for tides and everything related to that? Could the moon be retrieved? Do we need to get Vector involved?

There's something a little spooky happening in Atlantis when members of the expedition start seeing visions of the past in Echoes. 
We really like all of the various character interactions in this episode in addition to the change in vibe. We always enjoy a good mystery. And when we finally get the full story of what's actually going on, we did not see that coming.
We discuss our favorite whales and learn that Orcas aren't actually whales. We also try to cast the Atlantis members as the Scooby Gang but that doesn't go as well as we hoped….
