I loved the opening scene with Daniel just walking and Jack following, and even backtracking to make sure he stays with Daniel - and then we find out that it was all due to Jack asking the innocuous "how're things goin'?" Hee!
That was pretty adorable. And I can imagine that happening -- poor Jack, just asking simple questions and getting a universe as an answer.
Also, the way Daniel asked who was going to tell Jack (boyfriend duty) and standing close at the wedding - all very couplish.
Very, very adorable.
I did like Daniel and Sam, though, with the hand on the shoulder/hand holding because it could be taken as shippy but also felt like it was an organic thing of them both seeing this child (to them) getting married and realizing how many years it's been. It felt a lot more comfortable and "real" then that forced Jack and Sam moment. Sigh.
And even Jack totally thought the Jack&Sam moment was contrived. But yeah, the Daniel&Sam touching felt more organic because the show didn't bring attention to it. It simply slid into the moment and existed.
Jaffa are apparently all trained in the same school as Star Trek redshirts. The brain donor school of defense.
My new theory is that they absorb the Goa'uld stupidity by diffusion.
Me too! Actually, a little more than SG-1 because I feel as if the SG-1 characters have in some ways plateaued in their relationships, while we're still seeing the Atlantis people form bonds.
It's neat, yeah. The snarky friendship of McKay and Sheppard, the respect between Weir and Sheppard.
That said, loved SG-1 much more than Atlantis last night - loved the J/D interactions and excitement. I was just confused about Atlantis (not the plot, which was obvious, but what they were trying to say about the characters).
I actually really adore the SG-1 episode... when the Jaffa weren't on the planet. Loved the stuff in the SGC. Horse! And the J/D stuff was great.
Still, I heart McKay sooo much, because an uber-geeky science nerd with drama queen tendencies? He had me at "we're doomed!" - the first one.
McKay's fun. And he's actually much more self-aware and less arrogant than he lets on (as shown by his delusion.
