Sight Unseen
9/1/2023
Maybe this episode should have been unseen? Jack Baruzzini, Lisa Jones, Fr. Cory Sticha, and Victor Lams discuss this story, which had no stakes, wooden writing, and cringey characterization. They conclude it's not so much bad as it is boring. But the bug special effects looked cool!

The Other Guys
7/28/2023
Felger and Coombs! Jack Baruzzini, Fr.

Nightwalkers

In a story with a strong X-Files feel, Jack Baruzzini, Lisa Jones, and Victor Lams discuss this Earth-set adventure with a strong "stranger in a strange land" vibe and the opportunity for Carter to shine. In an O'Neill-light episode, the rest of the cast gets lots more to do.
