    Alternative interpretation: SG-1 team is basically the galaxy class cia, fomenting usa-friendly regime change on every planet they encounter.

      Formenting in-group-friendly regime change can be good or bad, depending on what sort of behavior is construed as “-friendly”. Some of my best friends forment in-group-friendly regime change.

      SG-1 destroyed what would have been a very profitable ally because they were space nazis, and they helped space native Americans protect their land against destructive US mining practices.

      Like with any show it’s best to enjoy it critically. I enjoy SG-1 despite it positively depicting a space CIA just like I enjoy TNG despite it positively depicting a space British Royal Navy flagship.
