butterfly'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.
