** The first truly great SG-1 episode was ''There But For The Grace Of God'', near the end of season one. Nearly the entire rest of the series took its cues from it in tone, it stepped out of ''[[Star Trek]]'''s shadow and stopped trying to copy it and it became much better for it.
** Another great (though controversial) turning point for the series was in the first episode of season nine. After eight seasons of the same team, Jack O'Neill, the ''main character'' had left, and the show was continuing without him, now putting newcomer Cameron Mitchell in the metaphorical captain's chair. This ushered in an era of more special effects, higher stakes, and an entirely different brand of comedy.
** Of course, there is another prevailing opinion that the vast number of fundamental changes also made it an entirely different show which had few claims to the title of [[SG
** ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' was more or less the Stargate ''setting'' as a whole Growing the Beard, as Atlantis has always maintained a higher quality of character development, plot, and visual design.
** Actually, ''[[Stargate Universe]]'' was the attempt to grow the franchise's beard as a whole. The show itself started to grow the beard with the episodes "Subversion" and "Incursion", parts 1 & 2. No literal beards, but (like the ''[[Farscape]]'' example above) it seems that the introduction of an out-and-out villain made the folks on ''Destiny'' remember that they had other things to do than just mope about being stuck on a ship and switching bodies to have sex. Stuff like...kicking ass.
