Favorite episode(s) of season 3 (overall) Spoilers
What I'm finding really interesting is that nobody has voted for any of the first three episodes of the season yet. Talk about getting off to a slow start!
Keep Carson. Keep Elizabeth.
Keep Atlantis.

No mans Land - 7/10- Not a bad start to season
Misbegotten - 6/10- Michael rocks, but I was a touch bored
Irresistible - 6/10- I was entertained and some of it was very funny
Sateda - 9/10- great action, team. One of the best of the season
Progeny - 8.5/10- another great episode.
The Real World - 4/10- Not a Weir fan and I was bored
Common Ground - 9/10- Kolya is a great bad guy and Shep was good in this one.
McKay and Mrs. Miller - 10/10 David Hewlett is the best thing on this show
Phantoms - 7/10- good action and suspense
The Return, Part 1 - 8/10- interesting to see what they would do back in Earth
The Return, Part 2 - 9/10- McKay has the Best-Plan-Ever
Echoes - 10/10- Fave epsiode of all SGA- McKay and Sheppard scampering off after whales. How many times can you say "cute"?
Irresponsible - 3/10- WTH? Although McKay looked cute in eyeliner
Tao of Rodney - 10/10- My sweet baby Rodney. Had me in tears at the end
The Game -7/10- Again, decent script and action
The Ark - 6/10- Pretty forgettable
Sunday - 1/10- total crack thrown together. I will never take anything from this as canon.
Submersion - 7/10- Good team episode with some good Teyla lines
Vengeance - 7.5/10- Another good team episode
First Strike - 8/10- Lost in space?
As you can tell, I am a MAJOR McKay fan, and this has been the year of Rodney, so overall, this season has been wonderful. I am a little leery about season 4 with Carter coming over. I don't want McKay written as they did with all the other SG1 crossovers. Whinging McKay with humor is funny. On SG1, it's kinda sad.

I voted for the real world, First Strike comes as a close number 2, loved the special effects etc.. and can't wait to see how it continues. Then there's Sunday, The Return1&2 and Common Ground loved those as well but just can't decide which one I liked better
Fantastic, hard to choose (five stars): Tao of Rodney - Yay! Rodney Love, I'll watch this over and over until I fall over. Progeny - Despite the SG1 redo-ness, I just loved the effects, the Atlantis exploding scene (lol), and the Weir character development. First Strike - I very much loved the "we've come full circle" + "doing things we've never even thought of before" feel to it
Loved and I'll definitely watch again (4 stars) McKay and Mrs Miller - Cute and fun The Return pt 1 - An intriguing new look at the characters The Return pt 2 - fun Echoes - Fun ep, but it gives me a headache to watch. Sunday - Great but sad ep, I'll definately watch this time and again.
Cool but I'll probably only watch if I'm bored (2 or 3 stars) No Man's Land - Fun, loved how they were working with Michael Sateda - Matrix-wft? Phantoms - Nice character development, esp for Shep and Carson The Real World - I liked the Weir character development (and music!), but the fact that Shep is always saving the day (when it should have been Carson) bugs me. Irresponsible - I actually kinda liked it. *ducks from tomatoes* but it was sad to see Koyla go. The Game - interesting concept but all I really liked was the zelenka/lorne plot, lol! The Ark - interesting concept but all I really liked was the Teyla character development. Submersion - interesting concept but I didn't really like how Teyla felt like she needed to prove herself. The gothic queen was nifty.
Episodes I probably won't watch again because they pissed me off. (1 or 2 stars) Irresistable - Just wasn't what I was expecting. Didn't really piss me off, but I hated the characters being so... out of character. Misbegotten - Why did they freaking do that to Michael after how he helped them?!! Common Ground - Why did they freakin let that wraith go and not michael?? (oh, and I guess I'm just not interested in Shep episodes) Vengeance - WTF?!! I was so excited to see another Michael ep and this is what I got?!
My favorites of season 3 are: No Man's Land, Sateda, The Real World , Common Ground , McKay and Mrs. Miller , Phantoms , The Return, Part 1 , The Return, Part 2 , Echoes , Tao of Rodney ,The Game, Sunday, First Strike (1)
Ah, the irony of The Real World being the second most popular episode when it was Weir-centric and they're about to shaft her... Great decision, guys.
Yep. And all the favorites are more of a character-centric episodes. People care about the characters and their interaction and now they're ruining everything they've established over the last 3 years.

No Man's Land- Felt somewhat anticlimactic - and consistantly losing cool new tech was starting to get annoying. Misbegotten- Really boring imo.. really. Irresistible- ugh.. At least it was unique. But still ugh. Sateda- This was a great epi. Rodney as usual is a legend... "Hey, thats my ass, isnt it?" Progeny- Not my favourite. Seemed all too convenient that the Ancients made Replacators too... The Real World- This was worse than Misbegotten. The whole "Im in your head making you believe you were never a member of the SGC at all" story line is overdone - and honestly NOT why I watch Stargate. I expect to see the gate.. at least once . And just as Weir - snooze fest. I almost lost hope. Common Ground- And then comes this little gem. A little drawn out but good episode. McKay and Mrs. Miller- Loved it! I always love the way they introduce someone to the SGC World. It was reminisce of "Is he supposed to be naked like that?" Phantoms- Ah, this was good this one. Rodney - "He shot me" Ronon - "He shot me too" The Return, Part 1- Liked this one too. Some wonderful Carson moments. "I left my phone behind, whats going on??" The Return, Part 2- Shiny! Oh how I have missed O'Neill. Sarcasm Vs Snarkasm. Echoes- Very fillerish. And Weir came back so cold. Irresponsible- too much lucius in one season... Tao of Rodney- This is my Favourite Epi of the season. So wonderfully Hilarious! Rodney "We can be Batman and Ronon. Its got a nice ring to it" Ronon "You keep eating like that and its gonna be Fatman" The Game- Very interesting. You would think Rodney would be more careful with Ancient technology, I liked how even KNOWING what it did, Lorne and Zalenka went in for a go... - Human after all. The Ark- Not the best but not the worst either. Sunday- Masterful! That I can give the writers, they can make a characters last episode so wonderful. Even the premise of the weapon was ingenious I thought. His dedication to saving a life cost him his own - much like Janet. Beautiful. Submersion- Annoying. I dont know why - it annoyed me. Too slow maybe. Vengeance- Michael is like Ford IMO. Can this be the LAST time we see him alive, thanks. I was SO on Ronon's side that time. It was time to kill him. First Strike- Wonderful Ep. Got to see Dr Kaylee "Its a city, not a Yoyo" - we beg to differ. Now comes the usual agonising wait.
: I would very much like to have a weapon such as this. : Yeah, Get in line.
I voted Tao of Rodney for it being such a deeply human story, but other favourites for me include Common Ground, The Real World, Echoes, Phantoms and Sateada.
For the first half I think for the most part it was a really solid season. Before it went downhill in the second part.
