> The tech jumped the shark at the start of season 5 with the introduction of Prometheus
Prometheus was very much portrayed as a kludge that barely held together for quite a few episodes after it was built.
It wasn’t until the Asgards helped with development that it started to look anything like a functional spaceship.
> I wouldn't call it fundamentally atheist either, in fact the entire thing was about religion, especially the last two seasons.
It was about liberating cultures from worshiping gods. O’Neill is very much anti-religion in his comments throughout the show. And the Ori are as close to the definition of a “god” as one might get and there were 2 series and a movie dedicated to making a point that no entity should be worshipped regardless of how powerful they might be.
They even feature references to Earth religions and “disprove” they’re credibility (albeit it doesn’t touch the Abrahamic religions but that might have been a step too far for an American network).
That’s about as anti-religion as one can get and like the GP I was really surprised an American network was allowed to finance it.
