I have a theory explaining this odiferous piece of crap.
Wright and Cooper are at that time of life where a mid-life crisis is emminent (if not going full fledged already). Instead of going out and buying a Corvette (or in their case, they could afford a Bently), they decide to listen to Martin Gero's wanker fan-boy fantasies and say, "Wow! That would be totally cool on screen." So they hire Martin as head writer, decide to do away with SGA because there aren't enough hot women (and who wants to watch hot old men with personalities anyway - ooky). Well, they share this idea with the mid-crisis suffering execs at MGM and they scream, "Genius! Boobies and science fiction! It'll be a hit! Kill SGA!" And they embrace Martin's wanker fan-boy fantasies to their graying, drooping man-boobs as well.
And of course we know JM will jump onto the bandwagon because he's a great spin doctor to make up for average writing skills.
:o Oooo, did I come off a little too snarky there? =^.^=
