Smallville had such a huge build up, there were people writing fic almost before it premiered. THere was a lot of anticipation.
I think people were a little more wary of SGA.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Well, plus McKay and Sheppard had no history of interaction up to that point (and Sheppard no history at all), so people didn't know in advance there was a gold mine waiting to be tapped. I think the combo of Michael Rosenbaum and all of Welling's Matthew Shepardesque promos let the cat out of the bag before the Smallville debut.

Heh. Do you think the actors know that Sheppard and McKay are the new Dave & Maddy? Clearly the characters still haven't realized it yet.

If that were the case, once they had sex all the chemistry would be gone and no one would watch the show anymore, right?
I, for one, think the writers should take the risk.

Teddy is the sexy seafood dude from the first episode.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Did you wake up today and pour stupid on your cornflakes instead of milk? (I hate it when that happens.)
