Season 3 Episode 7: Deadman Switch
OK, so the Gate Gang waltzes (they are so casual all the time) right into bounty hunter 1980s Flash Gordon’s trap!
Flash is funny as hell, sort of super rogue Jack O’Neill, making this episode extra fun. They’re supposed to nab a Goooldy in exchange for their freedom, but dude is Tok’ra! But guess what? They devise an Everybody Wins in the End scenario, the end.
P.S. Sorry for the break in our regularly scheduled programming. Real Life stepped on our digital feet last week!

S3 E6: Short Hair is for BOYS!

Season 3 Episode 6: Point of View
Yikes! Sam Prime meets Other Dimension Sam and their biggest problem with all of that is Sam Prime’s unladylike short hair. Long hair makes Sam Part Deux all kinds of weepy. (To be fair, her husband COLONEL MUTHERFUCKING JACK O’NEILL just died in battle.)
Interdimensional (still) evil Teal’c has a soul patch, in keeping with what we all know about Interdimensional evil twins. Teal’c evils like a boss and Daddy gets collared, literally.

Season 3 Episode 5: Learning Curve
Jack bonds with yet another kid and takes this shit next level with a kidnapping and hanging out on an elementary school playground. He also tests just how far subordination can stretch and finds it can go all the way to major crimes without snapping. He is a very slow learner. But also, the script gives him a win with an indirect saving of their souls. Wow.

S3 E4: That Hair Cut Would Drive Anyone Mad, Really

Season 3 Episode 4: Legacy
Daniel somehow ends up with Ma’chello’s marbles and it makes him actually seem to go mad, all padded room style.
Turns out it’s just some pandemic in the making that Sam and Fraij solve or kill or cure. (Where are these two geniuses at now and like, in 2020?) Too bad they destroy this virus that Ma’chello made to pandemmy all over the Gooolds, huh? That’s a pretty short-sided thing to do.

Season 3 Episode 3: Fair Game
Something like three spicy Gooolds show up for a Gooold-to-hoooman treaty party hosted by the Asgards (who are reprehensible in their application of the Prime Directive. Like, Thor is just using it to fuck with Jack.)
Since the Gooolds engage in foul play against each other, the hooomans win this one and Earth will not be annihilated. Phew! (Asterisk: they are officially denoted slave and host material for the Gooolds, but OK.)

Season 3 Episode 2: Seth
In a true art imitates life situation, a Fabio-haired, mustachioed man leads a cult just outside of Seattle and some people take him seriously. (You have Google if you need it.)
Women under Seth’s spell are all sex slaves while men get all kinds of jobs but also their nuts hacked off. So.
Coincidences abound and SG-1 manages somehow to be anti-Fed with the Feds already on the job.

Season 3 Episode 1: Into the Fire
Early Retirement Teal’c is bored of golfing and seeking his second chapter via rabble rousing, but he really sucks at inspiring through speeches. So like two people sign on to his Kill the False Gods Brigade.
But hey! At least Daddy came to see him speak…and to rescue SG-1 after all. Hathor dies an Emperor Palpatine death, so like, maybe she’s only mostly dead.

S2 E22: DANIEL WENT TO SUPERCUTS

Season 2 Episode 22: Out of Mind
I mean, Daniel’s hair may not be the first thing we see in this episode, but it certainly the most notable.
Teal’c tells a joke and learns he has no friends at all when no one even gives a charitable guffaw. Or maybe that happens in the first episode of season three, the conclusion of this episode. This two-parter is a blur for me.
The gang relive some weird shit via the magic of TV Recap episodes, thinking it's a future SGC asking. But it's Hathor back on her bullshit of wanting to put a shrimp in someone–excuse me! They are now little snakes out Resident Evil–in one of the Gate Gang!
Oh, and sorry about the audio quality. Things happened, issues persisted, will be all good next week.

Season 2 Episode 21: 1969
Teal’c wears plush purple bell bottoms and he wears the hell out of them.
The Gate Gang is thrown back in time due to a solar flare and amazing timing. They have to journey their way out of this mess; but, get a load of this, DADDY HAMMOND KNEW ALL ALONG. What the ever-loving shit is that? He gives Sam a piece of paper he’s just been carrying around while waiting to see her embark with an injured hand??? Glad he wasn’t sick that day or whatever.
Timey-wimey, wibbly-wobbly, just go ahead and tell the team so they can avoid this whole bullshit nightmare. Oh! Daddy is tall in the past! And also hot. Send comments to verticalwateringhole@gmail.com

Season 2 Episode 20: Show and Tell
First and foremost, they did get another mention of the episode “Spirits” into this one; they’re obvi proud of that one. But don’t worry, it was just used to illustrate what a good guy Jack is. Kind like a savior.
