He's a science fiction writer (and does other sorts of writing as well) who writes military SF with a humorous edge. It makes sense then that the producers of SGU would hire him, because they're essentially trying to write a Heinleinesque show--which is what Scalzi patterns his SF after, only without the super conservatism of Heinlein and without Heinlein's really weird sex concepts.
Oh! If you want to try out his stuff, he's got a free novel out on MobiBooks called Agent to the Stars. It had me laughing my ass off. I thought it was very funny. It's the first novel he wrote (just to see if he could). I recommend it.
