Mallozzi: All Atlantis Writers Going To Universe

SSo there are no women writers, and we see how they right for the female characters.

So pretty much the Stargate franchise is written by sex crazed 15 year olds who don't know anything about women. This really does explain a lot.

It might explain a lot, if the writers weren't two or more times the cited age (they'd have started when they were 5, if they were 15 now), and in many cases happily married. It also might explain a lot, if the former female writers turned out more memorable scripts instead of ones forgotten or derided.

Some there isn't a single good female writer on the face of the Earth?

And let's just look at the garbage Stargate has been showing the last few years? Maybe 10 great episodes out of 80+?

No, just none that have done noticeably better with Stargate on the screen than their male colleagues. Would I have a problem with a female writer on the show? No! (If I did, I wouldn't read Fandemonium's novels, whose authors to date have mostly been female with just one exception, possibly 1.5 depending on "Jaimie Duncan"'s gender.) I just don't think there's any reason to believe that just having a female or five on staff will magically make the show better.

I think having a female writer for the show might make the female characters less blah. However I'm sure that there are male writers who actually can write and aren't sex crazed burned out pigs.
