I certainly hope Joe's story of Sheppard's past will explain some things, but not all. I still like the little bit that's a mystery.
I'm with you on that! I am really looking forward to finding out a little more, but I don't really want to know too much; I like how pretty much *all* of the characters are still largely a mystery. McKay's the one we know the most about, and even in that case, we haven't a clue where he grew up or what his parents' names are or if they're still alive.
I kinda like the focus on their lives *now* rather than their pasts; it emphasizes the idea that none of them really have that much to go back to.
