Except it looks like cocky man is going to end up with fierce warrior woman
True, but the Controlling Woman doesn't have to be the same person as the Love Interest. I don't really think they're setting up the Weir/Sheppard interactions to be CM v. CW anyway, though. Seems like they're probably shooting for a more we can all learn from each other scenario. I am, of course, talking out my ... because how the hell would I know?
DX, I thought much the same thing. In fact, during that scene I said something along the lines of "you may now kiss the bride."
That
would
be funny if they went that route, but let things go a few episodes before Sheppard figured it out.
DANIEL: Crap!
JACK: What?
DANIEL: I meant to include "don't do anything even vaguely ceremonial-seeming with random offworld women" in the departure briefing.
JACK: Once! Once, that happened. Well, okay, twice. Three... and there was that time with the penguin creatures on -737... Well, okay, so, marriage is a good way to build rapport.
Train of thought on sci-fi death:
do you think Daniel Jackson's first body is buried somewhere and he could go visit his own grave?
That would be amusing -- he could go like on the memorial of his first death.
I seem to recall that ascended folk leave nothing but a pile of clothes behind when they light up. I bet he could visit a memorial headstone somewhere, though. Creepy and cool. But now that I think about it, I don't remember for Daniel, specifically. Was his bod still in the bed? Huh. I don't know. And I'm just avoiding morning chores now, so I'm going to stop.
I thought his body was still on the bed but i can't remember specifically. I've also always been a little concerned about anyone who might have come to his funeral (assuming there was one). I know he doesn't really have any family but someone had to have cared that he died - the foster parents, at least?
I know ... your post before made me wonder what they told people who knew him. "Yeah, we told you he died. Thing is? Not so much. It was a, er, secret mission. Yeah, that's it, and, and ... the bad guys, see? They needed to think he was dead, so ... What? Yes, we needed an archaeologist for the mission. Absolutely. So anyway ... he's back now."
And then I realized I'm still just avoiding work. Bummer.

He Obi Wan-ed out of his deathbed in a flash of light, if I remember correctly.
Yeah, there was no body left behind.
