I'm going to take a look at SGU, but I don't have high expectations for it mostly because it's being done by the same people. Same writers, etc. They don't stray far from what they've already done, hence copying old scripts again and again.
My problem is that I watched Stargate SG-1 from the beginning, so know the plots they rewrite, and know that they have had better writers, and when you see professional TV critics complain about lazy writing on the show, you know it's not just a fan thing.
I do enjoy Stargate SG1 and SGA or else I wouldn't watch them. Sure, there are a handful of episodes of each that I rarely rewatch due to quality. I do think SGU will probably get off to a rip-roaring start, but then, like the stock market, take a dive. It's that way when a lot is put into the pilot (as in $$$) but not as much into the series.
As for Mallozzi, well, I've followed his blogs (yes, he's had several) over the years, and his humor is, at times, quite debatable ;) Bu the does excel at leading on the fans :)
