Stargate SG-1 (1998) – Message in a Bottle, and Family
SG-1 investigates a planet that requires them to wear spacesuits, so it’s cool to know Stargate Command has access to that kind of thing. I mean after the shuttle rescue at the beginning of season two, i guess they have all kinds of access. But that’s only the precursor to Message in a Bottle. Written…

After Emancipation, I think Brief Candle is my least favourite first season episodes (outside of the clip show near season one’s end, of course). It’s not that it’s a bad episode, but it’s just an episode that doesn’t resonate with me. Written by Katharyn Powers from a story by Steven Barnes, this episode was first…

Captain’s log: stardate 41209.2 The Naked Now was written by D.C. Fontana and John D.F. Black. It originally aired on 5 October, 1987. I’m divided on this episode, and since its early days for the series, I’m willing to give it a lot of leeway. But I honestly think they should have waited until a…
