ireviewnetflix.com rating: *** (Actually 3.5) I don't like change and I was worried when I had read that Stargate underwent several changes this season, most notable the changes to their cast. Changes such as these normally note the beginning of the end for a series. But I was pleasantly surprised when the cast worked together well and I think I might have actually enjoyed this season more than any other Stargate season. Not enough to give it that ever elusive fourth star that, as much as I really like Stargate, I just can't seem to give the show. This season's favorite episodes include the two-part, season premier "Avalon," "Origins," "Beachhead," "Ex Deus Machina," "Prototype," the two-parter "The Fourth Horsemen," "Ripple Effect," "Arthur's Mantle," "Crusade," and the season finale "Camelot."
