I really, really didn't like the "close on Daniel & Vala as they step through together -- apart from everyone else" ending. (cf JessM)
I suppose there may have been a question of space. Maybe they couldn't fit a five person group on that narrow ramp for a five group shot. And so they came up with what they thought would be a cutesy addition to get around that.
Much like Vala's
