I don't hold out any hope for that; their writing seems to be sexist enough, whether intentionally or not, that I expect everyone to fall over at her feet and be happy she's there to save them. They just don't seem to be able to write her as anything but their Geek Goddess and have all the characters around her worship her. Rodney was the only one who worked as a foil for her, and even that they ruined by making him crush on her.
I mean, they exiled Rodney to Siberia for daring to oppose her in SG1, and we were all supposed to feel like he deserved it. They can't do that now, but I really don't expect their underlying attitudes to have changed that much, if at all. Nope, she's the goddess and everyone else's characters will suffer accordingly.
