Kree to all you Gateheads, and welcome to the end of the beginning, as we finish our coverage of 1994’s pre-eminent space desert movie, Roland Emmerich’s Stargate!

Topics covered include confusing cuts away from battle scenes, quickly rebounding PTSD meltdowns, convenient point of origin reveals, failed fast-walk stealth gambits, and Ra just being a shitty little idiot. We also say goodbye to Kurt Russell and James Spader as they’re about to be recast, and introduce our new watchers to Michael Shanks and his haircuts.

Kree to all the boys and goa’ulds, good to have you back with us as we cover the middle third of Roland Emmerich’s 1994 space desert movie, Stargate!

This week we’ll talk a lot about the joys of eating chocolate in the blazing Abydonian sun, O’Neil’s newfound Abydonian son, we’ll discuss the road not taken with regards to lighter brands, witness Spader taking a peek but restraining his urges, and of course, CHICKEN BAWK BAWK BAWK. Oh also there’s evil aliens in a pyramid ship or something.

Kree to y’all, and welcome to episode 1 of Jaffa Takes, where we’ll cover the first 40 minutes of Stargate (1994), the questionably but mostly canonical movie that first opened the gate.

On the way there, we’ll discuss O’Neil’s truly depressing backstory, the myriad tiny ways you have to pretend the words you see are other words, The Ancient Aliens Problem, Richard Kind and the dark future that awaits his character, and of course, James Spader’s truly bizarre board-writing skills.
