Episode 23: Once Upon a Time, Before Streaming (Politics)

Tegan and Silvana watch Season 1, Episode 18: "Tin Man". A friendly alien named Harlan insists he's made them all "better" after knocking them unconscious... but what does that mean, Harlan? In a classic episode on technology and identity, SG-1 is forced to reckon with what it means to be human. Tegan and Silvana fantasize about some of their fan fic dreams, including a Jack multiverse scenario. Who are Hammond's granddaughters named after? Is Teal'c dead?!? Dah fuck, Harlan!

Episode 14: Thanks, I Hate It (Bloodlines)
