Remember this awesome Asgard technology? If not, here is the definition from Wikipedia.
So why is it that we still see explosions on Earth ships? Is it that the Asgard never installed this technology on any earth ships with shields and beam technology? That's unlikely considering it's not something that can be used for offensive purposes, it's entirely defensive. And if so, now that we have all the Asgard tech, I expect it to have been implemented in the Odyssey upgrade the Asgard did in "Unending." Yet, we still saw multiple explosions on the bridge during the the fight with the Ori ships in that episode.
Asgard ships possess a system of unknown nature (mentioned in Nemesis), that prevents explosions from occurring onboard a ship. As a result, many of the tactics used against Go'auld ships from the inside, by less advanced races (grenades, C4 and nuclear devices), would be rendered useless on Asgard ships.
