Does any of this make any sense?
As for 'where' this
Spoiler:
kiss leads...I hope folks don't think of this kiss as one that should inevitably lead to a lot of sudden sexual progression for them. That's not what it will do. Imo, what it will do for them is give them and the mass audience a first look at sexual contact between the two. Up until this, many casual viewers, unlike us shippers have a hard time 'creating' a vision of Shep and Weir as potentially lovers because well...some people just don't glean eps for the little things we all see and others don't understand what the little things we all know are 'signs' really mean. In other words, many people need whopping up the side of the head as to the possibility. THAT is what this scene does. It introduces a possibility of such eventual personal action between the two for the mainstream to taste and start becoming accustomed to. I've been chewing on the timing of this 'first glance look at a sexual kiss' and I think now, if indeed TPTB are going with Shep and Weir as it seems, that this is a smart move on their part. The longer a pair goes without anything sexual being shown between them, the harder it is sometimes for the audience to buy into it later.
Another great thing this kiss does for Shep and Weir personally is that it will l create a memory marker for them to use later. A second kiss won't seem as jarring to them either when the opportunity arises because they've done it before-even if it wasn't their choice. Actually, this may make the second kiss and first 'chosen' kiss between them be even more meaningful because the first was forced upon them.

I've been lurking on a couple of threads and the whole Kiss scene was a total shocker for them ( I could hear their Jaws hitting the floor!) They never saw it coming..
And while it was a shock for them, they weren't against it either!...Their only concern was that TPTB would make the same mistake and go about the romance the wrong way.
Everyone can argue that 'it wasn't them kissing..it was the Aliens' And yes, they're right..it was the aliens. BUT both felt the kiss whether they wanted to or not...they can't ignore that!
I think this will be a huge wake up call for them both. People can't tell me that they can go about their normal routine and NOT ever think about that kiss and how good it felt...
what do you think?
