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.

The grammar, it pains me.

It's pretty bad. Jack would make ruthless fun of them.
