Editing Prometheus (Stargate) (section)

==Impact==

Sean Ferrick for [[WhatCulture]] called ''Prometheus'' "something of a symbol for the earlier to middle age of the show, bulky but still fully functional", noting the storytelling possibilities that the ship created for ''Stargate SG-1'' in expanding beyond just using the [[Stargate (device)|Stargate]] "while still keeping the show grounded where it needed to be".<ref name="most dist">{{Cite web |last=Ferrick |first=Sean |date=1 December 2020 |title=10 Most Disturbing Stargate Moments |url=https://whatculture.com/tv/10-most-disturbing-stargate-moments?page=10 |website=WhatCulture}}</ref> Also writing for [[WhatCulture]], Alastair Greenwell called the ship's introduction "worth the wait", believing that the teething issues in episodes such as "[[Memento (Stargate SG-1)|Memento]]" "only endears the ship more to the fans".<ref name="ever series">{{Cite web |last=Greenwell |first=Alastair |date=3 December 2020 |title=Stargate: Every Series And Movie Ranked Worst To Best |url=https://whatculture.com/tv/stargate-every-series-and-movie-ranked-worst-to-best?page=14 |website=WhatCulture}}</ref> [[Keith DeCandido]] for [[Tor.com]] felt the ship was representative of Earth "becoming an actual power in the galaxy as opposed to an irritant".<ref>{{Cite web |last=DeCandido |first=Keith R.A. |date=8 May 2015 |title=The Stargate Rewatch: SG-1 Season Six |url=https://www.tor.com/2015/05/08/the-stargate-rewatch-sg-1-season-six/ |website=Tor.com}}</ref> Darren Sumner, founder of [[fansite]] [[Gateworld]] disliked the design of the ''Prometheus'', and despite finding it exciting that Earth had developed an interstellar battlecruiser, he thought it was "ridiculously ugly".<ref name="space ships vs stargates">{{Cite web |last1=Read |first1=David |last2=Sumner |first2=Darren |date=10 March 2009 |title=GateWorld Podcast: Space Ships vs. Stargates |url=https://www.gateworld.net/news/2009/03/gateworld-podcast-space-ships-vs-stargates/ |website=Gateworld}}</ref> Fansite Dial the Gate host David Read shared Sumner's sentiments, and also highlighted his dissatisfaction at the existence of the ''Prometheus'' not being set up or foreshadowed prior to its reveal in [[Prometheus (Stargate SG-1)|episode of the same name]].<ref name="dtg joe season 6">{{Cite web |last=Mallozzi |first=Joseph |date=23 January 2021 |title=043: Joseph Mallozzi Part 4, Writer and Executive Producer, Stargate (Interview) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y76ylJlPlc&t=2150s |website=Youtube |publisher=Dial the Gate |interviewer=David Read}}</ref>

In discussing the role of spaceships, including the ''Prometheus'', and how it impacted ''Stargate SG-1'', Gateworld's David Read felt that the ''Stargate'' and the ship were often in conflict with each other as storytelling devices, and was of the opinion that ships should "carry stories as minimally as possible", fearing that the show could turn into ''Star Trek''. Sumner felt that in [[Stargate SG-1 (season 6)|season six]] and [[Stargate SG-1 (season 7)|season seven]] the spaceships "were not infringing" on the Stargate, but believed in [[Stargate SG-1 (season 9)|season nine]] and [[Stargate SG-1 (season 10)|season ten]] they were "really encroaching on the ''Stargate'' as the centre-piece of the show", believing that episodes such as "[[Memento (Stargate SG-1)|Memento]]" and "[[The Pegasus Project]]" were "good examples of using our ships tell to interesting stories that I think build on the world of Stargate, instead of replacing the Stargate".<ref name="space ships vs stargates" />

===Set auctions, models and toys===

Many of the set pieces were reworked into the later ''Daedalus-class'' ships' sets. After being deconstructed in 2010 some set pieces and props from the ship were sold at auction, this included the pilot and tactical consoles which sold for US$600 and US$1,250 respectively, whilst the captain's chair sold for US$1,750.<ref>{{Cite web |date=26 September 2010 |title=Stargate Artifacts |url=http://www.propworx.com/downloads/Propworx_Stargate_Auction_Catalog.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171120183159/http://www.propworx.com/downloads/Propworx_Stargate_Auction_Catalog.pdf |archive-date=20 November 2017 |publisher=Propworx |page=348}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=19 March 2011 |title=Daedalus-Class Tactical Console |url=https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/8745735_405-daedalus-class-tactical-console |website=Live Auctioneers}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=26 September 2010 |title=Daedalus-Class Pilot Console |url=https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/7906933_791-daedalus-class-pilot-console |website=Live Auctioneers}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=19 March 2011 |title=Daedalus-Class Captain's Chair |url=https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/8745737_407-daedalus-class-captain-s-chair |website=Live Auctioneers}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2010 |title=Stargate Artifacts 2 |url=http://www.propworx.com/wp-content/themes/church_40_propworx/images/SG2_Auction_Catalog_2.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120304125324/http://www.propworx.com/wp-content/themes/church_40_propworx/images/SG2_Auction_Catalog_2.pdf |archive-date=4 March 2012 |publisher=Propworx |pages=218–220}}</ref> Bridge chairs, control crystal trays, girders from the corridor set and control panels were also auctioned off.<ref>{{Cite web |date=26 September 2010 |title=Prometheus Bridge Chair |url=https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/7906940_798-prometheus-bridge-chair |website=Live Auctioneers}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=26 September 2010 |title=Daedalus-Class Crystal Drawer |url=https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/7906941_799-daedalus-class-crystal-drawer |website=Live Auctioneers}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=26 September 2010 |title=Daedalus-Class Corridor Girders |url=https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/7906943_801-daedalus-class-corridor-girders |website=Live Auctioneers}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=26 September 2010 |title=Daedalus-Class Circuit Board Paneling |url=https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/7906948_806-daedalus-class-circuit-board-paneling |website=Live Auctioneers}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=26 September 2010 |title=Stargate Artifacts |url=http://www.propworx.com/downloads/Propworx_Stargate_Auction_Catalog.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171120183159/http://www.propworx.com/downloads/Propworx_Stargate_Auction_Catalog.pdf |archive-date=20 November 2017 |publisher=Propworx |page=351}}</ref> The 23-page set blueprints were also sold at auction for US$1,600.<ref>{{Cite web |date=28 February 2014 |title=Kull Warrior Costume, X-303 Blueprints Up For Auction |url=https://www.gateworld.net/news/2014/02/kull-warrior-costume-x-303-blueprints-up-for-auction/ |website=Gateworld}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=22 March 2014 |title=Stargate SG-1 X-303 Set Original Blueprints |url=https://www.liveauctioneers.com/en-gb/item/25237613_stargate-sg-1-x-303-set-original-blueprints |website=Live Auctioneers}}</ref>
