Tonight, the hosts are returning to the Stargate fandom. It’s been awhile since we watched, so there’s lots of checking the wiki. Deth and Kathryn are drinking tequila and may be tax evaders. Kat talks religion of her own volition.
Season 3 has lots of awesome. By and large there’s excellent progression on a lot of different arcs. We’ve got a few issues with it regarding timing and pacing, as there is one episode of this season that really needs to be watched in season 2. No one cares about Sha’re anymore. Even professional writers require beta readers. Daniel gets lots of girls, as does Jack. Jack finally kisses Sam again, but it’s not the real deal, so we are sad shippers.
Apophis comes back. Again! If Apophis = Voldemort and Hathor = Umbridge, who is playing the part of Bellatrix? The Goa’uld do not know how to friend, but at least they celebrate diversity.
* Deth and Kathryn may get chickens.
* Chicago and Boston have attitude.
* Jaffa jokes!
* Pope Francis stories.
* The arrogance of the Tollan.
* Cake or death?
* Giant aliens!

It’s been 3 months since Deth and Kat last spoke. So much has changed, yet it all stays the same. Leo the Enabler continues his wedding reception hijinx. Deth continues his self-education as a handyman. He gripes about code violations, and it’s like that PFW episode about Holmes on Homes.
Both of our hosts have a lot in common. They used to murder worms in the name of science. They love jarheads and good actors. Stargate has a plethora of each. This episode also includes singing, the hosts not remembering where they stopped the last time around, and lots of shining a spotlight on those damn plot holes.
We witness the continuing evolution of Daniel the Soldier. There’s a discussion of Base 8 math and lots and lots of Sam/Jack shipping. We can’t talk about Democrats and Republicans, but we’re glad to delve into the Goa’uld and the Tok’ra. Teal’c is “A Wizard In Detroit”, and there are Dementors frolicking in the garden. Yes, Dementors. Frolicking. In the garden. Season 2 of Stargate is a lot of fun.

It’s three days before Dethryl and Kathryn’s wedding. He needed to podcast just for a distraction. Lucky for him, Poufwa is good at distractions. Kat is busy making travel plans. Bob is getting ready to ship out and join the National Guard. Here’s one last huzzah before EVERYTHING changes.
Stargate! New viewers sometimes complain that the first season is very episodic. Deth and Kat call you spoiled and whiny. You can’t just jump into big plot arcs without getting to know the characters and the world they live in. Otherwise why would we care? Season 1 is all about planting the seeds of further plot development. They will begin to sprout in season 2 as upcoming episodes build on what is presented here. If you’re wondering what’s important and what’s not, Deth and Kat will make sure to tell you!
In this episode:
* Deth plays the part of Julia
* Charles Kawalski the Great
* Rotary vs push button and Star*69
* Master Bra’tac and his awesome feud with Jack O’Neill
* Wicked advanced races that won’t talk to humans
* Kat plays with her button
Comtrya!

Episode 62 of Poufwa Exchange launches Season 4!
We’re back! We’re under new management! For the first season, Poufwa Exchange was a collection of one-offs. It was a lot of fun, but there was no schedule, per se. Ryan, Deth, and PS split off from PotterFicWeekly at the end of season 3 to revive Poufwa Exchange for a second season that dove into the depths of Babylon 5 and A Game Of Thrones. Toward the end we saw the return of Jen Classic as she joined Ryan to discuss Doctor Who and Torchwood. Season 3 was more decentralized (read: chaotic!) and small groups covered lots of diverse things. We finally covered Firefly, which we had promised to do for years. Now Ryan and Jen have gotten in a car together, gone to abduct Sue from PFW and Bob from Spellcast, and can be heard over on Point of View Weekly, leaving Dethryl to keep the lights on here. He promptly got the best technical help possible, and we welcome Kat to the podcast as a full-time host. Everyone clear on that?
Dethryl and Kathryn are engaged. The wedding is three weeks away — at least at the time of this recording. We’re not very timely with these things, as you may be aware… They did actually go through with it, and Kat was even a guest.
In this episode we’re covering a very old sci-fi movie and the pilot for the spin-off of the TV series that went on to become the longest continuous running in the genre. Deth and Kat have a mutual passion and are exchanging with Kathryn. Bob and Evan from the forum join us, and Scott drops in from PFW.
The Maniacs Responsible for this Production: Deth, Kat, Kathryn, Bob, Evan, and Scott.
