The scene above would suggest to me that Keller's still interested in Ronon, although she doesn't know what he's thinking
Seriously! When you say "I guess the short answer is no," you're kind of implying that there is a LONG answer, which is not also "no." Otherwise, why not just say no to begin with? The deleted scene makes it sound much more ambiguous than Mallozzi's editorial remarks make it sound, so who the hell knows what to believe with these guys.
And this all ignores how shitty the character work is to write off THIS PARTICULAR near-kiss as a non-event. Because in what fucking universe is it not a big deal for Ronon to be initiating his first intimate contact with a woman in ten years? That's a major character moment! And if he tries to take that leap and then either changes his mind about how ready he is or biffs the play so badly that she *thinks* he doesn't really like her that much -- I mean, that's kind of sad, right? That's a thing that I would expect the show to glance sideways at, in a way that I get with a different character you might not. Had it been Sheppard or whoever, "oh, well, it was just one of those things, doesn't matter" might fly. To think that the event could or should carry the same ultimate lack of significance for Ronon Dex is, um, completely fucking ridiculous.
God, they're such dipshits on this show. They have no idea what they're doing.

My interpretation is that Mallozzi's just being reactionary against fans who are freaking out about Keller being a giant space whore or whatever. He generally seems to be addressing people who think that Keller *must* be dating Ronon and/or Rodney after her interactions with them. Plus he loves being disingenuous in his responses to fans; he likes to choose questions that embody the extreme of an issue so that he can be scornful and also relatively uninformative. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I don't think the writers are so completely out of touch with their characters that they think this would be no big deal to Ronon.
