To resolve the season 2 cliffhanger, General Hammond rounds up every conceivable ally to rescue the SG-1 team from Hathor's clutches and gets a much-needed field trip in the process. "Into the Fire " is actually a weak opening for the new year, but does boast some impressive visuals as Hammond and Brat'ac pilot a shuttle through an open Stargate (euphemistically called "threading the needle"). In subsequent episodes, Daniel Jackson is intrigued by the planet Orban's scientific advances over only a few years. An exchange of knowledge is agreed and the precise "Learning Curve" of their children is revealed. Still recalling the original movie, O'Neill is concerned for the siblings because of the loss of his son. In "Demons" some serious lambasting of organized religion occurs in a storyline concerning a medieval Christian village that's being terrorized by a giant Goa'uld servant creature. This episode both brings to light and questions each of the principal characters' beliefs. "Forever in a Day" begins an important storyline about Daniel's wife Sha're's stolen child who is a "Harcesis," an illegal breeding between Goa'uld hosts. Then an earlier thread is picked up in "Past and Present" on planet Vyus whose people all suffer amnesia. Their leader Ke'ra (played by Megan Leitch who's portrayed Mulder's missing sister in The X-Files) is a link to the earlier "Prisoners" episode and the dangerous "destroyer of worlds". In a two-part cliffhanger, Sam must attempt to rescue her father, face Satan himself on a prison moon, and resurrect "Jolinar's Memories" from the Goa'uld she was briefly possessed by, then "The Devil You Know" reveals an embarrassing secret that could allow the team to escape the clutches of Satanic Sokar. "Pretense" is one of those sci-fi series staples as a character is put on trial to prove their guilt on behalf of another. "Urgo" expands the general sardonic humor with a little pathos for the guest appearance by Dom DeLuise. Lots of slapstick ensues. "A Hundred Days" is the three months O'Neill spends stranded on planet Edora by the fire rain of a passing asteroid belt. Then in "Shades of Grey" he appears to suffer a total personality switch when he steals technology from the Tollan and is insubordinate in the extreme. Both these are terrific concepts but are scarcely enough story to have stretched across more than one episode. --Paul Tonks

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5
1) excellent DVD [Rating: 5 out of 5]
The TV series is excellent, unfortunally is only in English, I have no problem with it, but I like to watch with my wife,in family and she doesn't undestand, so I'm looking for those who are in Spanish, but the season is very amazing.2) Every year is better - so far [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I haven't finished watching all the shows, but this 3rd season is even more of what I'd hoped for from Anderson and his crew. They are clearly comfortable with their characters and each other. Many of the stories make thoughtful points about life on our boring alternate Earth, but with a light touch. We are meeting more aliens, both good and bad - and learning that the Asgard have their own issues to contend with. I'd still like to smack Daniel upside his head regularly (much like Jack, I think), but every military group needs a conscience. We're seeing much more of the good doctor - whom I love - and General Hammond shows eve more of his humanity. We could use him and Daniel in the Pentagon right now!3) Synopses a little screwy... [Rating: 4 out of 5]
The episodes are excellent; the summaries of the episodes (at least on the Thinpak version) are not. Check them out and you'll see what I mean.4) Great Season [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This series was "one of a kind" as long as Richard Dean Anderson is in it! This season is one of the best!!!5) One of the best seasons of Stargate [Rating: 5 out of 5]
The 3rd season of Stargate is (in my opinion) one of the best. The Tok'ra are my favorites and they feature prominently in a number of episodes. This season still have the shows were I think Stargate is at its best - SG-1 fights gloating goa'ulds! I don't care much for some of the later seasons semi cop-show.
