On RDA and his appearances in SGA:
I think when RDA said he'd come back a lot of the planning for the early shows had already taken place and presumably they wanted to make best use of his time by allowing him to film them all in one go...so presumably where he ended up was where they were best able to include him in the storylines. Weir's hallucination of Earth and the whole human Replicator storyline lend themselves to using him in those.
If there was a deliberate decision to use him in SGA rather than SG1, I can understand it. SG1 is having enough trouble juggling the old and new as it is without adding 3 more shows with RDA back into the mix (as much as fans would love for them to do it). SGA, on the other hand, gets the benefit of one of the major attractions of SG universe RDA pulling in viewers from SG1 who may not be regular viewers (I admit I only watch SGA sporadically but will tune in definitely for RDA's appearances). I would certainly have preferred him to have done 2 SGA, 3 SG1 personally.
In terms of the crossovers, I agree that there should be limitation and S10 SG1/S3 SGA seems to be indulging in too much. It will be interesting to see at the end of the Seasons how well it worked or didn't. I have less of a problem with recurring characters being used where it makes sense to (Woolsey for instance and even Landry despite him being an SG1 reg).
I think I did read a rumour that there was a Sam/Jack scene in Atlantis but as I can't remember where I read it maybe I dreamed it...we know Sam's crossing over a couple of times in Atlantis in their S3.
In terms of RDA's 2nd SG1 appearance this season, I think they're holding off until they know more about whether they'll get S11; my theory is that if they don't, they'll use him in the final epi when they tie up all loose ends (including the ship) hopefully. If not who knows what they'll come up! I'm not getting my hopes up it will be ship-related.
