O'Neill is head-sucked by an alien device and starts speaking in tongues. Hammond decides the best course of action is to allow him free reign over the base while waiting for his inevitable demise. But all's well that ends well. (Explicit)

We will be back soon!

Sigh. Another one of those episodes that is a tad problematic in the cold light of 2023. On the one hand, solid effort to do better after Emancipation. On the other hand, definitely not better enough. Also, hard pass on the gill-faced aliens. (Explicit)

In the conclusion of this 2-parter, Sam's dad goes Tok'ra and we get some warm fuzzy moments. And (surprise, surprise) we still can't let the shocking heteronormativity of a supposedly gender-fluid society go. (Explicit)

SG1 finally encounters the Tok'ra, a resistant subset of the Goa'uld with a preference for burlap and evening wear. Sam grapples with Jolinar's feelings, O'Neill sulks, and we definitely discuss Tok'ra orgies. (Explicit)

Teal'c turns into a giant fly. One of those episodes that really shouldn't have been. We discuss where this one went wrong. Hint: when someone suggested an episode where Teal'c turns into a fly. (Explicit)

We will be back next week with another episode of Probing the Wormhole.

Family drama abounds! Daniel wallows in self-pity while his traumatized wife gives birth. Sam tells her dad to back off and then cries. This one is a bit of a downer. (Explicit)

SG1 travels to Chulak to rescue Teal'c's son, but they soon learn that Teal'c's wife is shacking up with his former friend. Cue jealous rages all around and some child torture to boot. (Explicit)

Zombie O'Neill becomes a medium for a race of microorganisms…

In this thoroughly mediocre episode, we revisit Cimmeria and get introduced to the real Asgard. Malika expresses her intense dislike of the little gray men and three lawyers try to figure out pi. (Explicit)

In this after-school special episode, Daniel wrestles with sarcophagus addiction while the team intervenes to get him clean and sober. We discuss Michael Shanks's spot-on portrayal of addiction. (Explicit)

Daniel and O'Neill must live out their worst memories again and again…

SG1 gets arrested, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison in a flash trial by faceless aliens.

Sam appears to get Goa'uldified on a mission and a certain Colonel grapples with the prospect of losing her. We disagree on the level of shippiness here but heartily agree on Amanda Tapping's awesomeness. (Explicit)

Bra'tac comes to SG1's rescue as they make a desperate attempt to save Earth. Also, Daniel dies again. Or does he? And we'll just pretend there is a way to actually board a NASA shuttle from an alien death glider in a decaying orbit in the vacuum of space. (Explicit)

SG1 defies orders to save Earth from an impending Goa'uld attack.

How will the team prove that the Stargate program is useful to the United States government?

Daniel's inability to not touch things leads him to an alternate universe where Earth is under attack from the Goa'uld. We consider what might have been and analyze some mild shippiness. (Explicit)
