I’m going to go with yes. Since unlike Star Wars, Stargate has multiple enemies and is closer to Star Trek with its episodic nature. Although some(ok, most) of the enemies are based on ancient fantasy characters, I would say that what actually makes them different is simply technology as opposed to any legitimate magic powers(the force). I think that easily takes it from fantasy into Science Fiction. Perhaps this argument loses support when it comes to the ORI. But what about the wraith, the goauld, the ancients, the Jaffa, the tokra, the nox, the replicators, and the Asgard?
It was a cheap drama wrapped in a military sci Fi, which is such a strange mix.
Sometimes it worked really well. But honestly I found myself wanting all the military sci Fi and often getting blue balls
“Listen up we now have an ENTIRE FUCKING SPACE SHIP, that’s right, built on earth, for humanity, warp fucking drive, GUNS”
“OH and it’s going to get pummeled on every single encounter.” The actual first voyage is the Prometheus getting taken out by like… Missiles from a modern civilization
Keep in mind Star Wars isn’t sci-fi. It’s a fantasy space opera.
It’s not supposed to be practical.
Hum… And Stargate is any different?
