Personally what bothered me more about it was the fact that the team (and particularly Sheppard) were unrepentant liars and backstabbers who rarely failed to put their own interests ahead of all other considerations. There's something not quite right when the 'heroes' consistently proved less trustworthy (not to mention in various instances less polite, friendly, open-minded and forgiving) than Todd the Wraith.

While I wouldn't expect a branch of the U.S. military to go to the opposite extreme and follow something like Star Trek's Prime Directive, I just don't remember SG-1 being such complete assholes.

But SG1 had Daniel to keep them in line.

Seriously though it is just the contrast of a show developed pre-9/11 and the way people thought post 9/11. It's a nastier culture we live in. Actually it isn't so much 9/11 itself that is the trigger, from a cultural point of view that was eminently survivable. It was the way the shaky Bush government used it that generated such harm. SG:A just demonstrated the contrasting cultural base to SG1. SG:U even moreso, but then it was ripping off BSG which was rooted in 9/11 itself.

If you twist every part of the show like crazy, sure, you could get "unrepentant liars and backstabbers" but that's...not really the point of watching something (an activity wherein you absorb information given in visual format as opposed to denying what you're seeing and trading it out for what you intend to see instead).
