Sam felt something for Martouf. Deep friendship for certain and perhaps more...but she never was able to distinguish where she left off and Jolinar began so even had Martouf lived, I don't think they would have ended up together in the long run.
That being said, Sam never kissed Martouf when he was alive. She bonded with him and felt both Jolinar's ties to him and the connection they shared just from there chemistry together...but they never kissed. So when I saw that almost kiss, my eyebrows shot up and I almost fell out of my chair. It was so out of left field. It was (to me at least) offputting and made no sense whatsoever because what was the point of that moment? Has Sam secretly been harboring romantic feelings for him for 4 plus years? I mean if that's the case (which I sincerely doubt of course), then at least clue us the viewing audience in on her mindset there. My GUESS is it was a culmination of Jolinar/guilt/joy but I just don't know. At the very least it deserved a moment of either Sam or Martouf clarifying what it was about.
It just seems that history and canon is irrelevant these days and keeping the integrity of a character's past relationships is out the window in favor of whatever garners the most attention or controversy.
