"One of the things that we did at the beginning of the season on Atlantis is
sort of sat back and took stock and said, 'OK, we've done two seasons. Where are we? Where is this show at? What's working about it, and what's not?'" And one of the things we thought we could do better was create the sense of camaraderie and relationships between the team. We felt we were getting the action-adventure part of the show right, but that the team itself -- the chemistry still hadn't quite clicked the same way it had on SG-1."
Stargate SG-1 is well-loved for its strong interpersonal relationships
between the members of the team, thanks in part to some deliberate choices
made in the show's early years. "I remember ... in 'Need,' when Daniel was going through his withdrawal from the sarcophagus and it had that moment where O'Neill basically held on to him and they had that real cathartic moment together, fans point to that as being a great moment in their relationship. And I felt like we needed to have more of those kinds of interactions between the Atlantis team. I think that they were and we were, to a certain extent, taking for granted the aspects of their relationships with each other that maybe the fans weren't quite getting or connecting with."

Okay, does this mean they've actually been paying attention to what fans have been griping about for a while, althoug the fact that the Shep backstory episode continues to get delayed is not a promising direction. And so much fanfiction is about relationships (of one kind or another). I mean, blowing up ships and all is fine, but they need to make us care more for the characters by giving up more indepth looks into what makes them tick.
