Episode 401 Beforeigners S01E01

Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the hosts are currently watching, commentary and analysis of the classic military science fiction series Stargate SG-1, and our listener feedback. 
This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we begin our journey with the HBO Nordic science fiction series Beforeigners, currently airing on HBOMax in the United States. We discuss premise and whether or not the overall arc could be allegorical and dive into some of the metaphorical elements of the episode. Wayne also brings back Project X with a brief rundown of the Norwegian rite of passage embedded in the episode.
In our What We're Watching segment, Dave talks about two Netflix series: Formula 1: The Drive to Survive and The Lost Pirate Kingdom. Wayne talks less glowingly about the new Justice League movie which clocks in at four hours. 
In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands has issues with the overall premise of Beforeigners.

Episode 400 Stargate SG-1 S02E01 The Serpent's Lair

Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the hosts are currently watching, commentary and analysis of the classic military science fiction series Stargate SG-1, and our listener feedback. 
This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we debate whether or not Apophis and Klorel die in the explosion of the two ships. Does the show and SG-1 need a new foe or can the Goa’uld threat continue to play well through subsequent seasons? And who is the most hated internal threat facing Stargate Command: Senator Kinsey, Colonel Maybourne, or Lt. Colonel Samuels?
In our What We're Watching segment, Dave adds Croatia to his list of international shows with the HBO Europe crime drama Success.  Wayne completes his rewatch of the entire Star Trek movie catalog. 
In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands laments the fact that we don’t see Senator Kinsey admit he was wrong all along.

Episode 399 Stargate SG-1 S01E21 Within the Serpent's Grasp

Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the hosts are currently watching, commentary and analysis of the classic military science fiction series Stargate SG-1, and our listener feedback. 
This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we consider the drawbacks of employing a sharply drawn cliffhanger that forces viewers to wait months for a resolution, but praise the gut wrenching decisions the characters have to make. Will O’Neill recover emotionally after being forced to take out Skaara? But more importantly, how will SG-1 escape what appears to be the mother of all suicide missions?
In our What We're Watching segment, Wayne continues to be amused with Letterkenny, but doesn’t understand the hate directed at Star Trek Into Darkness. Dave dives into yet another UK crime drama with the ultra dark Whitechapel.  
To gather some context into our feelings about the film, journey back into the SFTVR vault and check out Episode 50, the October 17, 2013 discussion of Star Trek Into Darkness. 
In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands continues to work his way through the Amanda Tapping led genre show Sanctuary.

Episode 398 Stargate SG-1 S01E20 Politics

Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the hosts are currently watching, commentary and analysis of the classic military science fiction series Stargate SG-1, and our listener feedback. 
This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we come to terms with the fact that the first season’s penultimate episode falls far short of the established quality we’ve encountered to this point. Though Senator Kinsey comes off as a bit of a jerk, we acknowledge that he has a point questioning the expense and danger of a program like Stargate Command. And like many politicians, his antics seem to be more about him and his lack of foresight than the actual danger posed by Goa'uld.
In our What We're Watching segment, Dave works his way through season 2 of A Discovery of Witches and sees promise in the German Netflix post-apocalyptic tale Tribes of Europa. Wayne sings the praises of the Korean scifi series Space Sweepers. 
In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands gives the episode his lowest grade of the season.
