Spoiler space for those few who haven't seen season 4 yet...




























Within a short time of arriving in the Pegasus galaxy members of the
expedition caused all the Wraith to wake up, resulting in the culling on
countless worlds generations earlier than would have happened if they
weren't there.

No so long ago Rodney caused the Pegasus Replicators to attack any planet
that had humans on it to 'kill off' the Wraith's food supply, how many died
will never be known, but it must be in the thousands.

Michael, created by Beckett, wiped out the Supervolcano planet, the
Terranians civilisation.

Their are probably more examples of the interference of the people from
earth causing wide spread devastation..

How would you treat them if you lived in that galaxy? Call them do-gooders
like that trader or a bunch terrorist for causing so much devastation.

Do-gooders? Hardly. Rodney did wipe out 2/3 of a galaxy (Trinity). In
the episode (Echoes), they diverted a solar flare away from Atlantis. I'm
wondering if that didn't effect some other planet(s) as they didn't exactly
stop it. In Condemned, they let loose a herd of criminals (to the alpha
site), which I'm sure the criminals dialed out of. Who knows what kind of
havoc they are causing throughout the galaxy. Whenever I see that episode,
I wonder about the children. There had to have been children as there were
women as well as men on the island. And we all know that if men and women
get together, children will follow. Even without bread crumbs.

Actually it was a solar system not a galaxy that McKay took out.

Michael didn't wipe out the planet by the way, the volcano errupting was
caused by running the shield for so long. He did however, kill the people
from that planet that got moved to another world.

Shame as the fit scientist was a hottie.

Massive blowback, some of it foreseeable, some not. At least Rodney
beat himself up over his failure to foresee that possible replicator
strategy, although honestly that was a fairly unforeseeable one...and
as with the waking of the Wraith by John, Rodney had the excuse that
he'd had to put that plan into operation under pressure with no time
to consider the possible outcomes. The really idiotic plan, IMO, was
Beckett's retrovirus. The possible blowback of that (some of it
realized with Michael) is incredible, yet they never seem to have even
wondered in advance what they would do with human Wraith, or how the
more human Wraith would feel about the transformation. The whole
thing was unbelievably arrogant, and poorly thought out...and not
really character consistent for Beckett who was generally given to
thinking things through, especially the ethical considerations.

More like an imperialist force. Not a modern one, but more a 19th
century type. If you want historical analogies, SGA rather reminds of
the British East India Company's early presence in India: not actually
an invader at first, but a power in its own right (with more backup
than the Indians at first realized) barging clumsily about within a
complex political situation of states that had existing and often
unstable relationships with each other . I had hopes that having
Weir, a diplomat, in charge might mean engaging with that, but they
never did it. And I don't see many signs that are thinking in such
terms at all.
