Episodes
The Church of Nuance
June 24, 2024 11:00 - 1 hour - 76 MBTegan and Silvana watch Season 4, Episode 16 "2010". This episode is one of Silvana's favorite episodes and takes place ten years in the future. The Stargate program has been revealed to the world when a highly advanced people called the Aschen offer to share their technology with Earth. Could they be why the Earth birth rate is dropping? Yes, of course it is. This episode has some excellent easter eggs, especially when the team visits the SG-C as a museum site. Tegan didn't enjoy th...
MacGyver and His Boyfriend (Chain Reaction)
June 10, 2024 13:23 - 1 hour - 74.8 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 4, Episode 15 "Chain Reaction," and are joined by guest star, Eric! This is a Maybourne and Jack episode and splits Jack from the rest of SG-1. The three discuss how Stargate is unique in how contemporary espionage plays into the storyline. Also isn't Kinsey the worst? Maybourne's apartment leaves much to be desired. It makes a Gao'uld froyo shop look like a great option for daily living. Is Teal'c an honorary Millennial? Join the discussion; check ou...
You Can't Tell Me To Wear Pants! (Serpent's Venom)
June 03, 2024 07:56 - 41 minutes - 37.2 MBTegan and Silvana watch Season 4, Episode 14, "Serpent's Venom". Another torture episode reminiscent of Sokar's hell episodes. And this time Teal'c is even more specifically targeted. The ladies go off on a tangent about gender and sexual fluidity and how it really should have been more explored when it comes to Goa'uld and Tok'ra, probably because we hated this episode and wanted to talk about something else. The Tok'ra's philosophy and ethics are discussed and the inconstitency is glar...
Indiana Jones Wearing a Blazer (The Curse)
May 13, 2024 11:00 - 42 minutes - 37.6 MBTegan and Silvana watch Season 4, Episode 13, "The Curse". We move on to the next Daniel Jackson partner who becomes a goa'uld host. We find out a little about Daniel Jackson's past before the film when he returns to his alma mater after the death of his closest professor. Evidence is mounting that Sam Carter is queer! We answer the question: Can Teal'c read English? Join the discussion on one of our socials. Links: The Complicity of Geek Masculinity in the Big Bang Theory ...
Every Flavor of White Man (Apollo 13)
April 29, 2024 09:15 - 46 minutes - 41 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Apollo 13, since Season 4 Episode 12 Tangent was basically just Apollo 13, but make it Stargate. Silvana and Tegan discuss the movie and also the state of racial and gender diversity in American Film in the 1990s (spoiler alert, it is lacking!). Also, how wonderful of a person Tom Hanks seems to be. To our non-American listeners, what do you think of this movie? Is it Americans puffing up their egos? Do you enjoy it? Let us know. Check out our Linktree to che...
Apollo 13, But Stargate (Tangent)
April 22, 2024 11:00 - 44 minutes - 40.4 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 4, Episode 12 "Tangent". The ladies speculate that this episode was a part of why Stargate got funding from the US Military as propaganda. This episode has Steven Williams, star of "21 Jump Street" as well, which makes Silvana excited. The rest of this episode is essentially Apollo 13 with Jack and Teal'c stuck in space and Stargate Command becomes Houston. Check us out on our LinkTree. For more about the history of the Apollo program, check out The ...
Does He Know How to Make Eggs? (Point of No Return)
April 15, 2024 11:00 - 1 hour - 77.9 MBSilvana and Tegan are joined by Eric for Season 4, Episode 11 "Point of No Return". All three are very excited that we have reached this epsidoe and the first episode with Martin Lloyd and Murray. This is one of the few episodes that takes place entirely on Earth. Teal'c has learned a lot about being an earthling; enough to go undercover as a short order cook! Teal'c also tries on his alternate persona: Murray. How would the NID get someone's eye perscription? How long have these al...
Chekov's Planet (Scorched Earth)
April 08, 2024 11:00 - 45 minutes - 41.1 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 4, Episode 9 "Scorched Earth". The ladies love this episode and suggest it as a great one to start people on Stargate. The SG-1 team are helping a group of people settle a new planet, but another civilization has already started terraforming it! How will the team solve this one? Answer: with the Daniel Jackson we've all been waiting for! With a little conversation, Daniel is able to solve everyone's problems. How is this advanced civilization not one of ...
This Is How I Met My Father-In-Law (The First Ones)
April 01, 2024 13:11 - 47 minutes - 42.7 MBSilvana and Tegan watch season 4, episode 8 "The First Ones". Daniel Jackson is kidnapped by an Unas as a sacrifice, and the SG-1 team has to track them to rescue him. Silvana and Tegan speculate about how the Jaffa could use this world to their advantage. What exactly is Chaka? Join the discussion on Discord or Instagram by visiting our Linktree.
You'd Think It's Water! (Watergate)
March 04, 2024 09:10 - 49 minutes - 44.1 MBSilvana and Tegan Watch Season 4, Episode 7 "Watergate." Marina Sirtis is a major highlight of this episode and gives us one of our favorite scenes of the episode. Her russian accent isn't half bad either, at least according to the hosts. The writer's transplanted Jack's sense of humor to Daniel in this episode with mixed results. Making jokes at the expense of other cultures doesn't seem like it'd be Daniel's thing to be honest. Maybourne is back and has been up to some treasonous act...
Mainlining (Window of Opportunity)
February 26, 2024 12:00 - 1 hour - 107 MBSilvana and Tegan are joined by their friend Eric for Season 4, Episode 6 "Window of Opportunity". This is a fan and podcast favorite! Have you ever wondered what Teal'c was doing while Jack was getting up to shenanigans? Find out what everyone's favorite parts were and just how much Tegan and Silvana hate the Jack/Sam moment. Eric has some theories about time loops. Silvana makes an observation about Stargate SG-1 and the West Wing. Join the discussion by joining one of our socials.
Za'tarc-itis (Divide and Conquer)
February 19, 2024 12:00 - 47 minutes - 43 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 4, Episode 5 "Divide and Conquer", and lament that they must watch yet another Anise/Freya episode. Thank goodness this is her last episode on the show; this poor actress was given such a bad character. Silvana and Tegan elaborate on how make-up is a no-win situation. Silvana really likes how this episode starts and ends, it's all the bits in between that the ladies do not like. There is a massive plot hole in this episode that involves pockets. They try to s...
A Sunburn and Sand In Her Belly Button
February 12, 2024 08:57 - 36 minutes - 33 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 4 episode 4 "Crossroads." The Tok'ra are at it again, the Tok'ra train has totally derailed at this point, even Tegan can't deny it anymore. An old flame from Teal'c's past - Shan'auc - comes to the SGC with a truly unbelievable claim, that she has convinced her goa'uld symbiote to be a Tok'ra. Silvana and Tegan speculate on the status of Teal'c's marriage and question why no one on SG-1 brought any attention to the fact that Teal's is partnered as far as the...
Let Them Eat Steak
February 05, 2024 10:20 - 36 minutes - 32.1 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 4 episode 3 "Upgrades" where their Tok'ra allies finally offer technology to give them an edge over the goa'uld, but with a notable cost. Both Silvana and Tegan are not big fans of Anise and the way Jack and Daniel act when she comes to the SGC. Anise brings technoology which accelerates everything about SG-1's (minus Teal'c) bodies and minds. She bulldozes Dr. Fraiser and Tegan has some issues with the methodology she uses in her human trial. Stargate r...
Tau'ri Behaving Badly
January 29, 2024 09:01 - 1 hour - 60.2 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 4 episode 2 "The Other Side" which is an apt title for this episode where SG1 get involved in a world war and end up committing a genocide against white supremacists. Jack, focused so heavily on shiny new technology, misses all the red flags despite Daniel's obvious concerns until their leader, Alar, is clearly racist aginst Teal'c, prompting Jack to finally allow Daniel to ask some more questions about what this war is really about. But not until after telli...
Dr. Carter's Consultation
January 22, 2024 12:00 - 1 hour - 53.5 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 4, Episode 1 "Small Victories". Stargate Command is visited by Thor asking for help in defeating the number one enemy of the Asgaard, the Replicators. Jack, Teal'c and Daniel are focused on defeating the Replicators that are on Earth from the previous episode while Sam goes off with Thor to save the Asgaard home world, since he needed someone dumber than him. What does this episode have to do with the Blair Witch Project? Why is Major Davis waiting fo...
My Condolences - Season 3 Tier Ranking
January 09, 2024 01:20 - 1 hour - 60.8 MBSilvana and Tegan complete their season 3 tier ranking. Check out the final rankings in our Linktree! Silvana and Tegan discuss the potential this season had and some of the worst and best episodes of Stargate SG-1. They also discuss the new film, Leave the World Behind and what the hell was going on with the deer?! Our Season 3 related episodes Episode 1 - Hathor's Vision Board (Into the Fire) Episode 2 - Song of Absent Fathers (Seth) Episode 3 - Kelno'reem for Grown-ups (Fair G...
One Small Step for Jaffa
January 01, 2024 22:26 - 40 minutes - 36.1 MBTegan and Silvana watch Season 3, Episode 22 "Nemesis". Silvana and Tegan have a lot to nitpick in the first two minutes of this episode because of the flirting between Sam and Jack. We're not here for these shenanigans. This episode introduces a new enemy: the replicators! Silvana gets real "media philosophy" for part of this episode. Both wonder why the Stargate writers aren't exploring the individual motivations of team members versus the team itself. Teal'c has so much potential...
"Giant Aliens!"
December 18, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 62.9 MBTegan and Silvana watch Season 3, Episode 21, "Crystal Skull". This episode is Daniel-heavy and features Daniel's grandfather, Nick. Nick is not a fan of Daniel's theory about the pyramids, and Daniel doesn't really believe that Nick saw giants after looking into the eyes of a crystal skull he found on earth. Silvana is concerned the CGI in this episode is bad enough that children will judge us if we show it to them now. Like we did our fathers for old Doctor Who and aliens dressed in bubb...
Nobody Puts Bae'tac In A Corner
December 11, 2023 10:29 - 1 hour - 64.4 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 3 Episode 20 "Maternal Instinct" - an episode which is ironically extremely lacking in focus on women. It doesn't even pass the Bechdel test! The SGC get an unexpected visit from Bra'tac and a gravely injured Jaffa reporting that Apophis is back and attacking Chulak looking for the Harsesis child. Luckily Daniel has been keeping his promise to Sha're and looking for Kheb this whole time right? Wrong! We encounter Oma Desala for the first time but she only s...
Is Teal'c Batman Now?
November 27, 2023 12:00 - 56 minutes - 42.1 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 3, Episode 19 "New Ground". The Bedrosians and Optricans are at war over their origin story, and SG-1 ends up in the middle of it. Like in the "Bane" episode, Teal'c's make-up is a little off, and this is an episode that provides an example of how the lack of diversity in the TV and make-up industry can impact the quality of the end product. A lot of the technical details are not great, and parts of this Stargate SG-1 episode drag. Also like in "Bane", Te...
Moral of the Story: Don't Steal Fish
November 13, 2023 12:00 - 42 minutes - 53.5 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 3, Episode 18, "Shades of Grey". In this episode, Jack goes undercover to root out the corruption in the NID who have been stealing technology across the galaxy. Daniel speaks up for Sam when she can't advocate for herself and we love it! What do we wish Teal'c had done this episode? How could this episode have been more meaningful in the context of the show? Where does the Jack/Maybourne fan fiction begin? There is a Seinfeld reference in this episode! H...
No One Is Getting Any Sandwiches!
November 06, 2023 16:21 - 1 hour - 65.3 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 3, Episode 17, "A Hundred Days". In this episode Jack gets trapped off world with a lady he likes while the SG-C and Sam try to find their way back to him. Silvana finds this episode mostly romantic, surprising both her and Tegan! They both liked a lot about this episode and agree that there are men's consent issues, once again. What is this about, Stargate? Silvana and Tegan take a detour discussing how Mr. Omoroca identifies. The most damning evidence ...
I Want To Experience the Universe and Eat Pie
October 30, 2023 20:34 - 46 minutes - 40.4 MBSilvana and Tegan watch season 3, episode 16, "Urgo". This is one of their favorite episodes. Dom Deluise guest stars! Stargate SG-1 gets 'tagged' by a more advanced civilization. However a glitch in the AI technology means that SG-1 becomes aware of the tech and annoyed by the childlike personality of Urgo. A solid episode of Stargate SG-1 and one of the first 7's we give in our ratings! Tegan shares some fun facts about the making of this episode. Who couldn't keep a straight face wit...
The Tollan Debate Club
October 16, 2023 16:33 - 1 hour - 71.9 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 3, Episode 15, "Pretense". Alexis Cruz guest starring! Who cares about the rest? Silvana and Tegan discuss another Katharyn Powers episode that they both enjoy! When Skaara/Klorel crash land on the Tollan planet and asks for help, they reach out to Stargate Command to bring SG-1 into the defense of Skaara. They are invited to the triad where a philosophical debate ensues and the stakes are Skaara's body and life. Overall a solid Stargate episode that th...
An Idiot Every Day of the Week
October 02, 2023 11:00 - 45 minutes - 40.3 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 3, Episode 14, "Foothold". The SG-C has been invaded and taken over, but Sam escapes to seek help from Maybourn. But then Maybourn is an idiot every day of the week, so things don't go as planned. We are once again introduced to aliens we will never encounter again! Join the discussion via our Linktree.
"It's Equality!" with Sophia from Where's Beverly
September 25, 2023 17:28 - 1 hour - 59.3 MBSilvana and Tegan are joined by Sophia from "Where's Beverly" to discuss the ideal Sam Carter relationship. Sophia argues for the Sam/Jack ship while Silvana and Tegan double down on their Sam/Janet ship. All are in agreement that a Sam/Daniel ship is not good and that there is a plethora of lesbian subtext. Sophia gives a good argument, but you decide! Who should Sam have been with, if anyone? Is the way Sam's character written an accurate portrayal? Join the discussion by visiti...
Unsubscribing from Marvel: The True Multiverse of Madness
September 18, 2023 11:00 - 40 minutes - 35.6 MBSilvana and Tegan discuss why they are no longer watching Marvel movies. They don't watch DC movies either, but they never really started watching them in the first place. We are sick of the bait and switch tactics with trailers and the poorly thought through character arcs between media. We demand better from our media! How does this relate to the writers' strike? Movies discussed in this converstaion include: 1) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 2) Flash 3) Wandavision and Dr. ...
Tok'ra Rumspringa
September 11, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 60.8 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 3, Episode 13, "The Devil You Know". How is Teal'c not there for the reveal that Apophis is still alive? Silvana and Tegan are confused at the Tok'ra's seeming lack of self-preservation and why there is so much torture in this episode. Sam's flat character arc is even more clear in this episode. We love Dr. Samantha Carter, but where are her flaws? What does growth for Sam look like and what are the challenges she must have as a woman in the Air Force in t...
Tok'ra Train Derailed
September 04, 2023 16:26 - 1 hour - 57.3 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 3, Episode 12, "Jolinar's Memories" and discuss the SG-1's team going to Hell to rescue Jacob Carter. Trigger warning for SA. Tegan and Silvana are both excited Martuf is in this episode. That's about where the excitement ends. There's an underlying theme/tension of sexual assault that is handled extremely poorly. Peter DeLuise gets to director an episode where someone is not in a bed; congrats, Pete! Peter Williams (Apophis) returns as the Phantom o...
Zero PPE
August 28, 2023 11:00 - 53 minutes - 56.4 MBTegan and Silvana are joined by their friend Jade for a very special bonus episode. Are there no nurses in Stargate? What's the difference between a nurse and nurse practitioner? Jade will tell us! Check out "Witches, Midwives, and Nurses" for more information about the Catholic Church, witchcraft, and the early years of medical licensing. Jade and Tegan share some of their experiences and impressions about sexism in the medical profession. Why is the Broca Divide one of the worst...
They Remember Patriarchy
August 21, 2023 12:36 - 59 minutes - 50.6 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 3, Episode 11, "Past and Present". Linea is back! Tegan educates Silvana about green eyed villainy. Orner has the audacity to question Teal'c's name? Linea is MASSIVELY lucky to end up here. Tegan teaches us all about consent 101. Daniel has a love interest... already! His wife just died last episode, but sure, why not? TW: Suicide/self-harm Join the discussion.
Born Sexy Yesterday 2.0
August 14, 2023 11:00 - 42 minutes - 36.4 MBSilvana and Tegan discuss a concept coined by Pop Culture Detective called "Born Sexy Yesterday". This is a relationship trope that is typically an incredible, exotic woman who is intellectually younger than a more, average human man. Silvana and Tegan discuss the trope, its variations, and some inversions. Some of the media discussed in this episode, besides Stargate of course, are: Twilight 50 Shades of Grey Fifth Element Tron Edward Scissorhands Big No Hard Feelings Roc...
Fear and Loathing in Cheyenne Mountain
August 07, 2023 11:00 - 44 minutes - 37.9 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 3, Episode 10, "Forever in a Day". Once again, Peter Deluise is directing an episode with a sick person. What's that about, Pete? Tegan learns her lesson about reading about Stargate on reddit. Silvana and Tegan rage about Teal'c being made into a murderer for the sake of the group again. Join the discussion at our linktree.
War Games
July 03, 2023 11:00 - 46 minutes - 39.9 MBIn this episode Silvana and Tegan watch Season 3, Episode 9, "Rules of Engagement". SG-1 stumbles upon a war game run by Apophis recruits that don't know Apophis was defeated. And for some reason have never heard of SG-1 either? For more about the Russian sniper that toured with Eleanor Roosevelt, catch the Drunk History episode on the topic. Join the discussion! Happy Fourth of July! We'll be back in August.
He's a Witch! Drown Him!
June 26, 2023 11:00 - 51 minutes - 43.7 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 3, Episode 8, "Demons". For the first time SG-1 encounters a civilization with Christians! The Middle Ages is still alive and well here. Will Teal'c survive their encounter with it? Of course he will! Jack's jokes were out in full force this episode. Was Jesus just a gao'uld? Was the resurrection just a sarcophagus? Silvana and Tegan are confused by the age of the woman in this local village. Was she just miscast? Join the discussion or check out our ...
A Waste of Time
June 19, 2023 11:00 - 24 minutes - 20.9 MBSilvana and Tegan discuss Season 3, Episode 7 "Deadman's Switch". It's the most boringest episode of all time. Flash Gordon essentially shows up to tease a potential storyline that gets dropped. Perhaps the worst ratings of an episode, by far? Why doesn't Sam just mention her Tok'ra dad? Join the discussion.
It's Our Anniversary!
June 12, 2023 09:45 - 30 minutes - 26.8 MBSilvana and Tegan celebrate 2 years since the release of their first podcast episode release!

Using Male Bodies
June 05, 2023 11:00 - 29 minutes - 25.7 MBSilvana and Tegan continue their discussion of Season 3, Episode 6, "Point of View" from the mirror universe. In the second half, the team goes through the mirror to another universe, to help save an alternate Earth. Silvana and Tegan take umbrage with how often Teal'c is used to commit acts of violence for the team, even against himself. Does this really make sense for Teal'c's character? Dr. Sam uses our Jack for comfort. Tegan mourns alternate General Hammond for a moment. Join/Fo...
Stop Trying to Make This a Thing
May 29, 2023 04:03 - 54 minutes - 46.5 MBTegan and Silvana watch Season 3, episode 6 "Point of View", and they have some strong opinions. Such strong opinions that this is a two parter! Join the discussion! Find all our socials here.
No Child Left Behind
May 08, 2023 12:42 - 1 hour - 52.1 MBTegan and Silvana watch Season 3, episode 5 "Learning Curve", which has the most unbelievable premise. This is one of Tegan's "favorite" episodes. Once again it appears advanced people must be white, despite their origins. Is Tegan's theory about Jack and Janet true? Another thread is left hanging by SG-1 who never return to this planet again. Join the discussion.
Ma'chello Boogers
April 24, 2023 10:00 - 55 minutes - 46.7 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 3 Episode 4 "Legacy". Stargate SG1 tackles mental health...with mixed results. Why did the 10th Ma'chello booger stick around in the Linvris chamber? Silvana and Tegan agree we should have more episodes not from the point of view of SG-1. Why are all the doctors besides Dr. Fraiser so bad? Silvana and Tegan talk mental health stigma and how this episode could be better and might be different if it aired in 2023. Join the discussion, all of our socia...
Kelno'reem, For Grown Ups!
April 17, 2023 10:00 - 46 minutes - 39.4 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 3 Episode 3 "Fair Game". Samantha Carter is promoted and the question must be asked is Secretary of Defense Simms part of the U.S. Miliatry? Is that why he's such a bore? Why didn't Sam and Teal'c get sent off world? Do we not recognize conflicts of interest in this show? Why did Daniel decide to decorate with an open flame? Would goa'uld stop trying to conquer the galaxy if they knew about board games? Why are the Asgard so obsessed with Jack O'Neill...
The Song of Absent Fathers
April 10, 2023 10:00 - 50 minutes - 42.6 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 3 Episode 2 "Seth". They go into a deep dive into Sam's character and (lack of) arc, discuss absent fathers in the episode and cults. Join the discussion by finding your preferred method at our linktree.
