Now, this is my own opinion and gladly open to debate:
In W^3 they were often creating future (modern by our standards) technology out of current contrivances. In other words, they were creating technologies that people of the time period didn't have.
In GI they were not innovating new inventions, just simply ways to use primitive tech to make the things they already knew.
Now, whereas W^3 has been referred to as "Steampunk" I guess it could be argued that a show with real island primitives with a special group directed by the chief to solve mysteries with creative means could be considered, uh... "Islandpunk"?
There is so much cross pollination between sci-fi and fantasy, that I think it impoverishes both when you become too strict in your definitions. Certainly there are many works of fantasy that aren't sci-fi. But for those that have elements of both, include them.
I love sci-fi and robots bore me to death. There's a lot of variety out there.
