Martin Gero does have a girlfriend, and seems like a pretty cool guy in real life. I'm guessing that the whole romance angle is something he and the other writers really don't care for, but they think they have to, so it always comes off like this. Hell, I loved the Daniel/Vala UST element, but hated how they handled it in "Unending".
I don't know if it's just a guy's view on relationships, or that they really don't want to write this sort of thing. Either way, it never works for me when they try to showcase it. In the background? It usually works. Rodney and Katie's background relationship, Carson and Cadman's, Sha're and Daniel, etc, etc... but the moment when they try to showcase it is when they turn me off. The more I think about it, the more I wonder if they like the idea of it, but they don't exactly feel it, if that makes any sense? There are lots of scenes and characters that I love the idea of, but if I don't feel it, then the writing comes out horribly clumsy and awkward.
On the plane? What? Just snuggling. Honest. I'm sure of it. I know that if I had nearly died and were still wet or even kinda damp under a blanket, snuggling is what I'd want.
By George, you're right! I totally read that scene wrong! They wanted sky high snuggles! (And I'm guessing the plane was taking them to Target, since the area was in the middle of the desert.)
