I don't know why SGA's writers couldn't get the hang of writing for an ensemble. They did pretty good with S1, but in my opinion, they made a huge mistake in focusing almost exclusively on McKay (first) and Sheppard (second) as the only main characters worth writing. For me, it's hard to enjoy a show that you already know what's going to happen (McKay and Shep will snark a lot at each other and/or at others; McKay's brilliance and Shep's bravery will result in saving the day for whatever crisis is at hand. No matter what danger they may find themselves in, the next week they'll be back to normal, with no linger after effects from the previous week's adventure. Only supporting main and recurring characters will ever be permanently disabled (Bates), disappear (Ford, maybe Weir?), or die (Grodin, Beckett).
