This triangle "ship" is almost as bizarre as the Daniel/Janet Fraser ship that some fans were after in SG1. Craaazy.
The minor Jack/Sam ship worked because it was subtle, didn't turn into a huge "o.c/dawson's creek" romance and didn't get in the way of the true point of SG1, which is.....exploring unknown worlds!
It was also believable. They spent enough time together, every episode for multiple seasons, so it was generally assumed "feelings" would develop.
This triangle it seems is like a "by the way", an after-thought development.
Like the writers needed an episode to deal with the kiss between Keller and Ronan in Quarantine (S4) and the Keller and Rodney future ship laid out in The Last Man (S4)
I'm also finding it hard to "buy" the concept of either ship. The characters do not seem to be in enough episodes together to form that strong "special" bond. Every week instead of seeing 4 characters together (i.e. SG1) we are seeing one week - John and McKay....the next week it is Keller and Teyla hanging out. There needs to be more of that group bonding...and hopefully we will get that in the upcoming SGU (seeing as they are stuck on a spaceship!)
It will be interesting to watch further developments....in any case, next weeks episode will truly rock!
