Neither... or?

'Neither SG-1 or Stargate Command will never be the same when a new member joins the team.'
(their sentence about season nine -- emphasis mine)

Sorry, what? That's not only a double negative, it's also just plain bad writing. Question -- is it worth it to write into Gateworld and mention something like that?

Alternatives that make more sense:
SG-1 and Stargate Command will never be the same after a new member joins the team.

Neither SG-1 nor Stargate Command will ever be the same after a new member joins the team.

After a new member joins the team, SG-1 and Stargate Command will never be the same.

A new member joins the team; SG-1 and Stargate Command will never be the same.

Right, it's the combination of all three that made me throw my hands up in despair. I can forgive the 'neither... or' construction (just barely, as they have the repeated example of Daniel's "Neither here nor there" in the series, for crying out loud), but putting in 'never' ruins my suspension of disbelief.

Jack would have something to say about their abuse of the language, believe you me.
