Primary
The series consciously balances the necessity of military defense and national security with strong themes of diplomacy, cultural understanding, and anti-authoritarianism, often exploring the ethical complexities of intervention and power.
Stargate SG-1 features a diverse ensemble, including a prominent Black actor in a main alien role, contributing to visible cast diversity.
