Stargate SG-1 Season 3 Boxed Set | Year: 1999 Classification: Television Actors/Actresses: - Richard Anderson The Best Science Fiction Series Stargate SG-1 is by far the most interesting, captivating, and entertaining series that I have seen. Being a real sci-fi buff, I can say that this show has kept me watching since Season 1 without missing a single episode. Now that the thired season is out on DVD even more people can enjoy this great show if they missed something. Although Sci-Fi channel does have re-runs, it is always best when you own the thing and can keep watching it over and over. Season 3 is probably one the best seasons of the Stargate series, but now that Season 7 is in production and airing its first episode "Fallen" on June 13, we shall see. But for now you should definitely buy Season 3 and if you have enough money go for Season 1 & 2 as well. They are well worth your time. This is a great title that everyone will enjoy. What sets SG-1 apart from other sci-fi series... As the title says, what sets Stargate SG-1 apart from other sci-fi series is that it takes place in the here and now. And that Earth is under direct threat from the false Gods, the Goa'uld. No other series does this to the extent that SG-1 does. Sure, Star Trek had the Borg and Dominion threats, and X-Files had its alien phenomenon of the week, but in SG-1 there is always a constant threat from at least one or more Goa'uld System Lords. In Season 3, of which I'm not all that familiar with, the main threat is from a Goa'uld System Lord known as Sokar which is basically Satan re-incarnated. Sokar's first appearance came in Season 2's episode "The Serpent's Song" in which we learn that our old Goa'uld enemy, Apophis, is being sought out by Sokar. Sokar wishes to torture and finally kill Apophis. From what I've read about Season 3 on other message boards, it is considered to be one of SG-1's best seasons. That must be saying something because I thought Season 2 was great. Like I said above, I'm not all that familiar with Season 3, because I missed it in syndication, but I'm a little more familiar with Season 4. However by late June, I'll be more than familiar with Season 3 as it finds a place on my shelf next to my other two season sets of Stargate SG-1. So like I and others have said, if you like good writing, and excellent character development, and mega cool, but realistic special effects in a sci-fi series, be sure to pick up Stargate SG-1 Season 3 on DVD. And if you haven't gotten Season 1 and 2 yet, be sure and get those, because SG-1 is one of the most serialized series on TV since StarTrek: DS9 and Babylon 5. Hurry up too, because on September 2nd, Season 4 will be released as well. Season 4 is very cool too because it introduces and all new kind of enemy that resembles what some other shows have used. (*hint* 1997's "Lost in Space" film, and the 1984 film "Runaway") Old Endings and New Beginnings Many people believe that subsequent seasons of Stargate: SG1 get progressively better. So far, no arguement from me. Season 1 was good, 2 was better, and this has been the best so far. Col. Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson), and his SG1 team of the now Maj. Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping), Dr. Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks), and Teal'c (Christopher Judge) continued their adventures through the Stargate to various old and new planets. The team, as well as the SGC in general, were tested in many more ways than ever thought possible. The team went to "Hell" in order to save Sam's dad, who is still a member of the Tok'Ra resistance, Daniel suffered a major loss, and O'Neill was blended, albeit briefly, with a Goa'uld.<BR>One of the reasons that I personally liked this year was that many of last year's conflicts were resolved (Lenea, Destroyer of Worlds), which made room for new plotlines (the Replicators), as well as continuing old ones (the search for the Harsesis child). Also, this season revitalized a Season 1 plotline that had been falsely ended in Season 2.<BR>This is also the season when SG1 truly realizes that they truly have allies in their fight against the Goa'uld; the Asgard helped form a treaty between Earth and the Goa'uld (though it is not likely to be followed by either party due to some of the clauses), the Tok'Ra continue to offer their assistance and wisdom, the Nox have begun to reestablish contact with the SGC, and the Tollan, who are also human, now have reason to truly dislike the parasitic alien race. Speaking of which, I really liked the episode "Pretense", because it gave large roles to the Tollan and Liah, who is of the Nox. I mean, if the Asgard had made an appearance in the episode, then it would have really been a party.<BR>Other good episodes include "Into the Fire", "Fair Game", "Legacy", "Learning Curve", "Point of View", "Past and Present", "Jolinar's Memories", "The Devil You Know", "Foothold", "Urgo", "Shades of Grey", "New Ground", and "Nemesis". Judging by the increase in quality each season, I can't wait to see Season 4.
