Ooooh yes... Stargate. I only watched a few episodes. It never really managed to grab me. I do love the parody episodes they did though!

Thanks, BonesofRuin! Yes, our brain...things were downloaded by an extraterrestrial computer...thing. It put our gray matter into blenders and drank it, thus preventing us from exploring the Stargate franchise! Please post your thoughts on Stargate...and any other sci fi stuff you wish...in the forum thread by the end of the week, and we'll read it on the next Quackcast!

guys, this podcast episode was incredible! I love sci-fi and im a huge star wars and star trek fan! I prefer the original series of star trek of the next generation but to be fair to the next generation i havent seen every episode of the next generation so the original series has an unfair advantage! Also im shocked you mentioned almost every sci fi show except stargate and every spin off of it like star gat atlantis... how is that even possible, wait... don tell me... aliens, right? LOL! XD

That music/post production sounds fantastic! Way to go! It totally makes up for what you did to Humanity at the end of the episode! XD
