Amazon.co.uk Review
With a well-established framework of back-story and an increasing list of adversaries, the third series of Stargate SG-1 was the place where casual viewers began to fall away. Unless you were taking notes it was becoming ever harder to stay on top of the Goa'uld history and their constant scheming. Fortunately by now a solid fanbase had appeared worldwide--with clubs, conventions and Web sites galore--so the ratings didn't slip even while ancient gods kept appearing and reappearing. Daniel Jackson could always be trusted to illuminate any relevant myth or legend (or find them in five minutes on the internet), while Carter's memory download from last year supplied the necessary ties with the rebellious Tok'ra. Away from the story arc the show's all-important stand-alone tales gave some thorny old subjects a new SF spin, including organised religion, the use of children in the passing on of knowledge, and leading an alternative life. O'Neill's sarcastic wit went into overdrive this year and Teal'c could be relied upon for a sneer or fish-out-of-water joke. Further comic relief came from Sam "Flash Gordon" Jones and Dom DeLuise, but perhaps the funniest thing of all was the wig Carter would apparently be wearing in an alternate universe. --Paul Tonks

Synopsis

Season three is possibly the best season of stargate. It has the two best episodes ever in stargate; 'Jolinars Memories' and 'the devil yoou know'. it rocks!

It just continues to get better
As SG1's adventures continue we see some great stories this season starting with into the fire the conclusion to last seasons cliffhanger as sg1 are held captive by Hathor and it is up to Hammond and Teal'c to save them with the help of Master Bretac and most of the sgc also we meet Daniels grandfather in the pernultimate episode crystal skull and the introduction of the replicators in the cliffhanger nemesis also my favourite episode is urgo in which all of sg1 get implanted with the personality of a scientist on a far away planet.

Another Great Series
SG-1 are back! And this time they’ve brought Special Features. Jack (Two L’s) O’Neill (Richard Dean Anderson), Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping), Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) and Teal’c (Christopher Judge) return for a third action packed series.

From the end of Season 2 we find SG-1 trapped on Hathor’s home planet seeking a way home. Through the ending of this particular storyline in the episode ‘Into the Fire’ we get a good idea of how the series will continue. The humour is more free flowing and the team seems more united than ever.

Season 1 saw SG-1 encounter new enemies within the Goa’uld while Season 2 provided them with some willing allies. Now, in Season 3 the story takes centre stage. Episodes like ‘Legacy’ (304), ‘Point of View’ (306), ‘The Devil You Know’ (313), ‘Maternal Instinct’ (320) and ‘Nemesis’ (322) show just how great the writing is on the show as well as showing off the special effects that the producers have to offer.

For the third series running we are left on a cliffhanger on in the final episode with the introduction of the greatest threat to the Asgard – the replicators. These little guys just mean business and are a great addition to the Stargate universe.

As for Special Features, the Season Three Box-Set has some tricks up its sleeve (no pun intended). With profiles for Samantha Carter, Teal’c, George Hammond and Daniel Jackson, along with very insightful mini-documentaries about certain aspects of the Stargate universe, we are given great insight into how the show is made.

All in all the Season 3 Box-Set is a well compiled piece of work and should be in any true Stargate fan’s wishlist. All twenty-two episodes have enough action to sate even the most hardcore action fan and the background team, who are shown in one of the special feature mini-documentaries, have done more great work on creating the world which the SG-1 team visit.
