As someone who is slightly embarrassed to be a Stargate fan, this show brings me great joy and validation with every episode. In just the last few days I’ve finished season one and I’m thrilled to have found two kindred spirits to parasocially bond with over this prodigious and underrated sci-fi franchise.
When watching Stargate alone at home with the curtains drawn, I have wrestled with questions about hagfish, decontamination protocols, seemingly nonexistent organizational structures, and just how many scientific disciplines a theoretical physicist can master. I haven’t found any answers here, but I definitely found the laughs that Mary and Kathy bring to each episode.
