I have to agree with the comment above about Lee/Laura and Squick. At first I thought you meant the elder Adama and I was oddly OK with that. Could even go there, but when I realized you meant Apollo an uncontrollable shudder went through me.
We're squicked by what we're squicked by. I find them interesting and very much not a squick. And, of course, I really can't get behind Apollo/Starbuck because she was engaged to his brother, which squicks me.
The thing with Sam/Jack is not only about my being a die hard slasher, it is that it really bugs me that we have this really intelligent, strong female character and naturally she has to fall for her commanding officer. Of course, it bugs me not at all that Daniel should fall for him.
For me, there's such an enormous difference in how Sam and Daniel react to Jack. Even more than the difference between 'sir' and 'Jack' imply. There's also the fact that with Daniel, Jack doesn't mind liberties being taken -- compare Daniel sitting without waiting for Jack's permission in Lockdown to Jack's reaction to Teal'c doing the same in Icon. Jack isn't insulted when Daniel treats him like an equal instead of a superior officer.
