Yes, Mallozzi seems more optimistic than I'd expected, and I'm very glad to see that. I'm disappointed about some of the cast changes (one in particular), and I wasn't as thrilled by "Adrift" as almost everyone else, but it's still my show, despite my determination that it wouldn't become my show. I still enjoyed SG-1 through the end (and can't wait to see the movies), but as that wound down, I became increasingly attached to SGA. Rodney and Carson are my favorites (yeah, there's some disappointment right there!), but I like all the characters. Of course, now I've been sucked into that fanfic world too....
