Although I thought the episode in question was very silly, I just had to comment on this, as it struck me as very, very odd. It may have been meant as a joke, but on the off chance that it wasn't, I just have to point out the following:
- The Prime Directive doesn't exist in Stargate
- Even if it did, Teyla and Ronon are under no obligation to uphold it
- Even if they were, the Prime Directive still isn't a particularly good idea. As an principle, it is intellectually bankrupt. The best that can be said of it is that it functions as an effective plot device to create drama and tension in certain episodes of Star Trek. O_o

Teyla and Ronon incite revolution. Did they skip their lessons on the Prime Directive?
