All The Goa'uld Board Meetings

Hot Ass Teletubbies
January 09, 2023 12:05 - 1 hour - 66.4 MBSilvana, Tegan, and their friend, Eric, watch season 2, episode 19, "One False Step." Wow these mushroom people are weird! But is it a bad episode?

This Is Just My Day Job
January 02, 2023 12:40 - 34 minutes - 30 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 2, Episode 18, "Serpent's Song". They wanted to like it, they really did. But this heavily character driven episode is missing some panash. Silvana goes so far as to say it is like a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode. Join us on our Discord for watch parties every other Saturday at 11 AM ET.
Treatise on the Best Care of Palm Trees
December 19, 2022 12:00 - 59 minutes - 51.7 MBSilvana and Tegan watch both Dune movies (David Lynch and recent release) with Chris and Joe.

Supermassive Black Hole
December 05, 2022 12:00 - 44 minutes - 38.6 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 2, Episode 16 "A Matter of Time". A black hole threatens the SG-C and all of planet Earth. Overall, a really fun episode with a lot of fun time dilation stuff. Michael Shanks was busy with the new baby, perhaps? As this is a Daniel free episode.
American Doctor Who
October 10, 2022 11:00 - 42 minutes - 37.5 MBSilvana and Tegan discuss the differences and similarities between Doctor Who and Stargate. Silvana gives her recommendation for where to start in Doctor Who. Why are there no holiday specials in Stargate but there are in Doctor Who and Warehouse 13?

Who Shot RDA?
September 12, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 61.5 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 2, Episode 13, "Spirits". Silvana wonders who fired the fateful arrow that took Jack out of commission for the first half of the episode. Sam gets her "first command" but how much of it does she really lead? An interesting intersection of symbiotic cultures leave Tegan and Silvana wanting more details; both enjoy a lot more of this episode than they remembered from previous watches. Tegan notices a strange similarity with "Friends". Media Suggestions: ...
The Only American Tok'ra
August 29, 2022 11:00 - 43 minutes - 38.3 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 2, Episode 12, "Tok'ra: Part 2". A continuation of the previous episode where SG-1 meet the Tok'ra and are being held captive until the Tok'ra move on. Silvana and Tegan wonder why are there never any other Tok'ra hosts offered by the SG-C? Did Jacob Carter agree to be a Tok'ra host too readily? Silvana wonders if there is a requirement for RDA to become Macgyver in his episodes. Also, why does it take the Tok'ra so freaking long to evacuate? We're takin...
Do Wizards Poo?
August 22, 2022 11:00 - 41 minutes - 35.7 MBSilvana and Tegan watch season 2, episode 11, "Tok'ra Part 1". They speculate about the Tok'ra culture and one glaring plothole about their existence. Why are there no Tok'ra Harsesis children? Tegan and Silvana drool a bit over Martouf/Lantash... sorry/not sorry. Do symbiotes poo? Do Wizards? Is "Everybody Poops" a lie? Tegan and Silvana also wonder why the Tok'ra don't have their own version of Social Security Numbers. Seriously, aren't there a limited number of you? Join the ...
Get Jeff Goldblum! We have a Bug Transformation Problem
August 15, 2022 11:00 - 48 minutes - 38.2 MBSilvana and Tegan enjoy Season 2, Episode 10, "Bane". In this episode, Teal'c is stung by a giant bug and starts transforming.

What is this Stargate Thing About?
August 08, 2022 11:00 - 48 minutes - 41.6 MBSilvana and Tegan explain Stargate to Joe. There's a lot he likes and a lot that doesn't make sense to him, but they try their best. Join the discussion on Discord and our watch parties every other Saturday at 11 AM ET.
The Confinement of Sha're Jackson
August 01, 2022 11:00 - 54 minutes - 47.6 MBSilvana and Tegan watch and comment on season 2, episode 9, "Secrets". Daniel Jackson returns to Abydos to find his wife pregnant. He's not a happy camper about it; who would be? Sha're certainly isn't either. Silvana and Tegan prefer the B plot that takes place in Washington and appreciate Teal'c's brilliant thinking. They much prefer this Teal'c to the Teal'c of the previous episode. Join the discussion and watch parties on Discord.
Thanks, I Don't Get It
July 25, 2022 11:00 - 48 minutes - 42.4 MBIn Season 2, Episode 8 "Family", Silvana and Tegan watch the follow-up to the episode "Bloodlines", which they covered in "Thanks, I Hate It". They still hate it, although slightly less, so there's that. This episode comes with Master Bae'tac, a new Mrs. Teal'c, froyo, and one of the best child actors of Stargate. The plot doctors are in! Tegan and Silvana are confused about why Teal'c does not get to stay with his family and why that is so fine with the characters. Also why is this rom...
Star Trek Enterprise, LLC
July 11, 2022 11:12 - 51 minutes - 43.6 MBTegan explains Star Trek to Silvana, including the alphabet soup of shows. Silvana wonders how the economy of Star Trek works, and discovers there's an entire book on the subject. Who knew? Is this a show commenting on capitalism, socialism, both, or neither? Is the romance always so bad? Silvana and Tegan have so many questions for Katharyn Powers. Tegan drops lots of knowledge about Star Trek captains! Check us out as guest stars on "Where's Beverly" with our friends, Adrien...
Undomesticated Equines Couldn't Keep Us Away
July 04, 2022 11:00 - 34 minutes - 29 MBSilvana and Tegan watch season 2, episode 7, "Message in a Bottle". In this episode, Jack is pinned to the wall in an episode as boring as lepidoptery. Sorry, lepidopterists. The team must figure out what the ultraviolet substance leaking from a device they brought back to earth is before it kills Jack and destroys the SG-C. Join us on our Discord server to chat and join watch parties. Watch parties will restart in August.
Kudos, Katharyn Powers
June 27, 2022 11:00 - 33 minutes - 27.8 MBKatharyn Powers strikes again with a great episode in season 2, episode 6: "Thor's Chariot".

The Ship That Should Have Been
June 20, 2022 11:00 - 39 minutes - 32.8 MBSilvana and Tegan read the fan fiction that Silvana wrote for Tegan's birthday. The fan fiction is a partial rewrite of the episode in Season 1 called "Hathor", and it starts the relationship that we all know should have been.

We will be taking a break from watch parties (not podcast episodes) in the month of J...
Revenge of the Bouncy Rocks
June 13, 2022 11:00 - 42 minutes - 34.9 MBSilvana and Tegan watch Season 2, Episode 5: "Need". This addiction allegory is a lot. It's got dating the princess, another Daniel death, and space magic. Daniel also conveniently forgets he has a wife. Join us on our Discord server at 11 AM ET on Saturdays for watch parties!
Death by Bouncy Rocks
May 30, 2022 12:35 - 38 minutes - 33.3 MBSilvana and Tegan watch and discuss Season 2, Episode 4: "Gamekeeper". Silvana and Tegan put on their plot doctor stethoscopes for this one! What kind of sickos find the death of Daniel Jackson's parents the most interesting thing in Dr. Jackson's brain? Half of this episode is a Macgyver episode. Silvana throws some shade at DC this time, Marvel gets a pass. Silvana argues that Daredevil is the best of the superhero stories. Silvana gives Tegan a crash course in fencing terms. T...
The Odyssey is SciFi?
May 23, 2022 11:00 - 50 minutes - 41.8 MBWhy do we tell stories? Tegan and Silvana are joined by Joe and Jenny to discuss why stories are important and how they influence us. Why do we watch Stargate? Joe reveals how much he learned from The Prince of Egypt. What defines a literate versus oral culture and how does that affect how we pass along information? Silvana voices a very controversial opinion about Marvel on Tegan's birthday.
A Whole Address Book Full of Starbucks
May 16, 2022 11:00 - 30 minutes - 25.6 MBWe demand Janet back! A different doctor this episode was weird.

May 09, 2022 11:00 - 44 minutes - 36.9 MBWe're back, baby! Silvana and Tegan are joined by Joe again to discuss sexism in media. In addition to discussing plenty of teen movies from the early 2000s, the three discuss how sexism can be negative for men through unreasonable expectations around emotions to limiting them in roles and characteristics. Of course Stargate SG-1 isn't spared analysis either. Links 1. Discord server (watch parties at 11 AM ET) 2. Justin Baldoni - "Why I'm Done Trying to Be Man Enough" 3. The R...

Ding! Your Daniel is Ready!
April 11, 2022 11:00 - 47 minutes - 41.3 MBTegan and Silvana discuss Season 2, Episode 1, "The Serpent's Lair". SG-1 is in a very dire situation; how could they possibly escape from Apophis?

More Than the Princess: The Consequences of Objectifying Women in Media
April 04, 2022 11:00 - 42 minutes - 36.3 MBIn this bonus episode, Tegan and Silvana talk about how the media they were raised with often treats women as objects more than subjects.

We're Going to Need Crystal Jack Back
March 21, 2022 11:02 - 34 minutes - 29.3 MBWe will be taking next week off! No watch party or new episodes until April. :) Silvana and Tegan watch and discuss Season 1, Episode 21, "Within the Serpent's Grasp". What new twists with Silvana and Tegan add to their fan fiction? Where is Walter this episode? This episode is a missed opportunity for a Warehouse 13 crossover. Join us Saturdays at 11 AM ET for watch parties on our Discord server.
Once Upon a Time, Before Streaming
March 14, 2022 22:31 - 39 minutes - 34.7 MBDouble explicit!!! What can we say, Kinsey is in this episode. He warrants the f bombs for being such a poop face. Silvana and Tegan discuss season 1, episode 20, "Politics". This is the first recap episode in Stargate. These recap episodes are old vestiges before the interwebs was what it is today, much like original Unsolved Mysteries. Silvana and Tegan speculate on the cost of gate travel and whether Hammond or Walter may have broke bad.

March 07, 2022 12:04 - 44 minutes - 43.6 MBWe will return to Stargate next week, we promise. You should really give this "100" show a try, at least to Season 1, Episode 3...

February 14, 2022 12:00 - 35 minutes - 31.2 MBHappy Valentine's Day, listeners! Tegan and Silvana watch Season 1, Episode 18: "Tin Man". A friendly alien named Harlan insists he's made them all "better" after knocking them unconscious... but what does that mean, Harlan? In a classic episode on technology and identity, SG-1 is forced to reckon with what it means to be human. Tegan and Silvana fantasize about some of their fan fic dreams, including a Jack multiverse scenario. Who are Hammond's granddaughters named after? Is Teal'...
Stuck on a Glacier with Macgyver
February 07, 2022 12:15 - 33 minutes - 29.6 MBSilvana and Tegan watch and comment on Season 1, Episode 17, "Solitudes". Sam and Jack are trapped on an "ice planet", unable to dial home.

Thanks, I Hate It
December 20, 2021 12:00 - 35 minutes - 30.7 MBSilvana and Tegan reluctantly watched season 1, episode 11, "Bloodlines". In an episode that would have been more aptly named "A Portrait of Domestic Violence", Teal'c remembers he has a family and wants to save his son from slavery. Except for when he doesn't. While we did meet the Stargate equivalent of Uncle Iroh in this episode, that is really the only redeeming aspect.

December 13, 2021 12:00 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MBSilvana and Tegan discuss the table reads of the AI-generated scripts for Stargate, produced by The Companion. Marc Evan Jackson (The Good Place) served as the host to the table reading that included Amanda Tapping, Michael Shanks, David Hewitt, and Jewel Staite.
