The day has finally arrived, lovely listeners, when we get to discuss this testament to postmodern television! Martin Lloyd is back and he has written a television show that is eerily reminiscent of the Stargate Program.  Silvana and Tegan are excited to be joined by their very special guests Eric and their military advisor, Rob.  Where was Katharyn Powers in this episode?  Join the discussion on our socials.  

Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 11 "Desperate Measures". The Jack and Maybourne bromance continues when Carter is kidnapped and Maybourne returns to help Jack and the SG-C rescue her before it is too late. We'll be back with our episode on Wormhole X-Treme with special guest Eric on January 13th! Happy Holidays everyone. Don't miss Tegan on her latest appearance on Treksperts Quiz!  Join the discussion on our socials.

Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 10 "2001" a follow up to Season 4's "2010" one of Silvana's all-time favorite episodes.  SG-1 encounter the Aschen, again! Jack's note wasn't specific enough and they meet the Aschen through a people who are seemingly being helped by the Aschen, the Volians.  The Aschen make earth an offer for technology that is hard for anyone to refuse. So in the second episode in a row, earth is given an offer that seems too good to be true. And SPOILER ALERT...it is too good to be true! The Senator-Who-Won't-Be-Named is back and is putting his ego on full display. Jack is having none of it.  Everyone has a part to play in this episode, even Walter and Hammond are teaming up to figure out of the Aschen are from the off-limits planet. Watch Tegan on Treksperts Quiz! Join the discussion on our socials.

Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 9 "Between Two Fires". This is the end of the Tollan storyline and the end of Narim and his cat.  Silvana explains Legends of the Hidden Temple to Tegan. The ladies discuss our duties as citizens of a nation and the better downfall of the Tollan via infiltration instead of invasion. Tegan still wants justice for Hebron, and we could have gotten it this time! The ladies also wonder whatever happened to Narim's feelings?  Join the discussion on our socials.

Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 8, “The Tomb”. This is not a favorite and is heavily reliant on the drama of the Cold War. Silvana and Tegan come up with several ways this plot could have been more interesting. While dull, this episode does pass the Bechtdel Test. And Peter Deluise directed while no one was bedridden! Congrats, Peter! Join the discussion on our socials.  

Silvana and Tegan are joined by Eric, who discusses An Ascended Being Maxed Out My Credit Cards and his thoughts on Orlin.  The three then discuss Season 5, Episode 7 "Beast of Burden". Chaka has been captured by offworld 'slavers' who use Unas for their menial labor. Daniel does his best to rescue Chaka without burning down this world, but will he succeed? Join the discussion on our socials. 

Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 6 "Rite of Passage". This episode brings back the character Cassandra but played by the actress from "Bane".  Check out our episode on "Singularity" ("The Distant Land of Toronto") and "Bane" ("Get Jeff Goldblum! We've Got A Bug Transformation Problem!").  This episode reminds both ladies of the first X-Men movie.  Someone is in a bed the whole episode, so of course Peter DeLuise directs.

Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5 Episode 5 "Red Sky", the inferior cousin to "Scorched Earth."  SG-1 accidentally messes up a planet's sun, threatening their planet and existence. The people on the planet just happen to believe that the Asgard are their gods and they aren't too ready to be told they worship false gods and need to evacuate the planet. Why didn't Teal'c have something to say about a society worshipping false gods? Why is it always about Jack and Daniel? The Asgard won't help, even though it's pretty unlikely the goa'uld are monitoring this 24/7. We meet the Asgard council for the first time and they aren't the biggest fans of Jack. The science in this episode seemed especially made up, unfortunately even amazingly talented Amanda Tapping couldn't pull off making it seem legit. But of course, everything was fixed in the end...but was it the Tauri, or was it the Asgard? We may never know. Join the discussion on our socials. New episodes released weekly on Mondays. 

Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 4 "The Fifth Man". If only they had made this the fifth episode!! The SG-1 team has a fifth member, or does it? An alien has convinced them that he is an injured member of their team in need of help. Will we ever see this race again??? Absolutely not. What if Simmons was a Reol? Silvana and Tegan come up with a great story line for the Reol race.  Spoiler warning for season 1 of Rings of Power. Join the discussion on our socials. New episodes released weekly on Mondays. 

Silvana and Tegan watch Season 5, Episode 3 "Ascension". In this episode an ascended being takes a shine to Sam and hitches a ride home so he can stalk her. If he stalks her long enough, will she love him? YES?!  This Sam-centric episode has some great scenes: Teal'c in a cowboy hat, for example. However, even Amanda Tapping's great acting and Jack not into Star Wars can make up for all the scenes in which we are screaming.  Silvana learns what she's supposed to say back to "live long and prosper". Tegan is shamed for not bringing a towel places. Silvana proposes having an onsite therapist at the SG-C for crewmembers and psychological analyses of aliens they encounter. What do you think? Join the discussion on our socials. Apologies for some of the background noise. There is a construction zone at Silvana's house that is thankfully over now! We'll now be back to our regularly scheduled episodes every Monday.  Fan letters were saved until the end since we dove right into this episode. We couldn't stop ourselves.  Thank you for your patience, lovely listeners!
