39 The Long Goodbye: The Big 'What if?' Episode

2 hour 18 minutes Posted Jan 5, 2024 at 4:36 pm.

Hello and welcome

everyone's initial thoughts on the episode

we love the cold opening and discuss TV in the stargate universe (earth is just weird)

we never got the whole team going to Earth :( so we make up a quick thing ourselves to compensate

Caldwell is back! with continuity!

the imprinting scenes and John's allergicness to feelings

the John/Elizabeth dynamic that this episode creates

what exactly is Phoebus' and Thalan's deal? and is this episode too serious? The what ifs of it all

Rodney shooting at John: funny or not? we have mixed feelings

Torri's acting in this ep is everything, actually. Sad that it wasn't as Elizabeth, tho.

why do the men (in particular john) get all the emotional impactful scenes? and why are they setting up this weird love triangle (love corner?) between elizabeth-john-teyla?

When was the last time Teyla and Elizabeth interacted? Spoiler alert: it's been a while

how we would have incorporated John's and Elizabeth's perspective into the episode

we're not happy with Caldwell is treating everyone here

we're team rodney but also could rodney handle command of Atlantis & all the ways SGA could have handled command of Atlantis if Elizabeth had to go the way she did

Teylabeth crumbs!

let's talk about the continuously terrible treatment of Teyla's character (and women in general)

Hey Lorne! Hey Carson!

Poor Ronon :( he's way too trusting

Bechdel Test and Behind the scenes

Fic corner!

Ratings and good byes!

In this episode the team (Sam, Tor and Ash) discuss 2x16 "The Long Goodbye." Tune in as we talk about John being allergic to feelings, Torri's award deserving acting, and the many different ways this episode could have been made (better).
