In which case, I think their strict moral standard is stupid, shortsighted, and massively intolerant of the moral standards of other cultures. These are classic ugly Americans who go to Rome and shout at people to stop wearing togas.Everywhere the SG:A team went, they just ground their morals into the carpets of anybody they didn't agree with. "Hey, a society in which people commit ritual suicide when they reach adulthood! Well, that must be a load of garbage. Let's get 'em to stop!" At some point, I anticipated seeing them run into a planet with nothing but a giant machine and one guy in a booth, and the guy in the booth would say, "Hey, if you press that big red button there, it's going to kill all the Wraith in the universe, but also it's going to execute me for crimes against the state, and my crime against the state was refusing to release a plague that was created by the state to keep the population in check." And then there'd be half an hour of "We can kill the Wraith!" and "But we're not executioners!" and "But we'll be just like they are!" and stuff, and then finally the guy would end up dying of the plague he himself had created before they could press the big red button, and there'd be a long slow stare-at-each-other moment with apparently emotional music playing before the fade to black.</blockquote>
