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.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
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?

Art Crawl!!!
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.

move out and draw fire
My DH said the same thing about the necklace fastening scene. Actually, his words were, "You moron! NEVER do stuff like that!"
It's entirely too convenient that Shepherd can fly all the ships and they can READ and USE the Ancients' technology. I want someone to mistake a microwave for a bathroom, or something. I also want interpersonal difficulties, particularly if they're from a dozen nations.
Worlds of agreement.
And I think all the costumers should be fired, except for the one who bought everything off the rack at The North Face. She can stay. The rest must go.
Galaxies of agreement.
I liked the designs of the Wraith ships, though, and I loved the cool ghostly effects on the planet during the attack.
Poor Robert Patrick. He never gets a recurring role. Unless the series has already jumped the shark.
Dr. Weir - dear dog, woman, eat a sandwich!
I was really upset that they (the writers) were just casually destroying the city. It's this amazing archaelogical site, and BLAM! Also, why couldn't the buoyancy happen before the city sacrificed part of itself?
Sheppard reminds me of David Duchovny.
Ah well, SG-1 started off a little rocky also, saved only by RDA.
