With a well-established framework of back-story & 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 Goauld history & their constant scheming. Fortunately by now a solid fanbase had appeared worldwide, with clubs, conventions & Web sites galore, so the ratings didnt slip even while ancient gods kept appearing & reappearing. Daniel Jackson could always be trusted to illuminate any relevant myth or legend , while Carters memory download from last year supplied the necessary ties with the rebellious Tokra. Away from the story arc the shows 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, & leading an alternative life. ONeills sarcastic wit went into overdrive this year & Tealc could be relied upon for a sneer or fish-out-of-water joke. Further comic relief came from Sam Flash Gordon Jones & Dom DeLuise, but perhaps the funniest thing of all was the wig Carter would apparently be wearing in an alternate universe.
