The '''third season''' of ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' commenced airing on [[Showtime]] in the United States on June 25, 1999, concluded on [[Sky1]] in the United Kingdom on March 8, 2000, and contained 22 episodes. The third continues the plot started in [[Stargate SG-1 Season 1|season one]], the third season follows SG-1 in their fight against the [[Goa'uld Empire]]'s [[System Lord]]s, the main being [[Sokar]] until "[[Episode:The Devil You Know|The Devil You Know]]" and then [[Apophis]] after regaining power after the event in "The Devil You Know." The season introduces the long unseen and unnamed enemy of the [[Asgards]], the [[Replicators]] who are self-replicating machines that seek to convert all civilizations technology into more of themselves, thus posing a dire threat to all other beings. The Replicators are first mentioned, but not named, in season three episode "[[Episode:Fair Game|Fair Game]]".

The one-hour premiere "[[Episode:Into the Fire|Into the Fire]]", which debuted on June 25, 1999 on Showtime did not receive any syndication rating, but overall got a high viewership level. The series was developed by [[Brad Wright]] and [[Jonathan Glassner]], who also served as executive producers. Season 3 regular cast members include [[Richard Dean Anderson]], [[Michael Shanks]], [[Amanda Tapping]], [[Christopher Judge]], and [[Don S. Davis]].

== Production ==

"[[episode:Deadman Switch|Deadman Switch]]" is the first episode in which the [[Stargate]] is not seen. "[[Episode:Demons|Demons]]" was [[Carl Binder]]'s first and only contribution to Stargate SG-1. He would later become a staff writer on the spin-off series ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]''.

The urban outdoor scenes of [[Tollana]] in "[[Episode:Pretense|Pretense]]" were shot on the main campus of {{w|Simon Fraser University}} (S.F.U.) in {{w|Burnaby}}, a small city just east of Vancouver.

Actor [[Dom DeLuise]], who played [[Urgo]] and [[Togar]] in "[[Episode:Urgo|Urgo]]", is the father of director [[Peter DeLuise]], and Urgo's transformation into an Air Force officer was played by Peter. "Urgo" marked the first time a DeLuise guest-starred on the show. Dom's sons Peter, Michael, and David, Dom's daughter-in-law and Peter's wife, Anne Marie, had on-screen roles in later seasons. Dom DeLuise ad-libbed most of his lines. According to the ''Official Guide to Seasons Three and Four,'' very few scenes include Teal'c, since actor Christopher Judge couldn't keep a straight face.<ref>Official Guide to Seasons Three and Four</ref>

When Seth is killed in "[[Episode:Seth|Seth]]", [[Jack O'Neill]]'s "Hail Dorothy" is a reference to ''[[The Wizard of Oz]]''.
