The Seattle Times has a review of this ep with a nice mention of Ben and Michael:
Former "Farscape" star Ben Browder (Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell) and "SG-1" veteran Michael Shanks (Dr. Daniel Jackson) are developing some fun on-screen rapport, but side stories involving principals Amanda Tapping (Lt. Col. Samantha Carter) and Christopher Judge (Teal'c) aren't as memorable. And some of the episode's scenes seem unnecessarily corny and contrived.
While "SG-1" continues to reinvent itself with new heroes and enemies, the cast of "Stargate Atlantis" is settling into its extra-galactic surroundings quite well. In fact, the show and its stars seem to be having lots of fun. Case in point: Dr. McKay's (David Hewlett) hysterical reaction to the Wraith's superstrength enzyme, is a side splitter.

And this is what the Chicago Times says:
"Stargate SG-1" and "Stargate Atlantis," 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Friday, Sci Fi: The best part of "SG-1's" return, in which the team fights a plague unleashed on Earth by the evil Ori, is the subtle comedic interplay between new cast member Ben Browder and "SG-1" veteran Michael Shanks; the best part of the return of "Atlantis" is, as usual, watching the comedic talents of David Hewlett, who has some funny scenes after his character, nerdy scientist Rodney McKay, ingests what amounts to he-man juice.

Well it's an opportunity that I welcome anyways! Looking forward to some nice Mitchell/Daniel interplay. We've been really light on interaction between these two characters. Nice that both reviewers were drawn to the same thing.
