Yeah, I guess I just didn't realize that it would be affecting my through other people's episode reviews.
As I understood it, timeline wise, Season 4 SGA happens after the SG-1 movies. So, I'm assuming that the Ori have been dealt with and there's no, to use a Buffy term - Big Bad to fight anymore in the Milky Way. There's nothing really keeping Sam there when she could, in fact, make a difference in the Pegasus battle against Wraith, Replicators, and whatever else. I honestly do think that Sam is the best of both worlds for the post.
I don't think either side, military or civilian would have shouldered the risk of putting Daniel Jackson in charge of Atlantis. He's clearly too unpredictable and intractable to both sides. Civilians would have assumed Jack could have influenced him and the military would have known that he sucks at thinking about anything past his own research.
Let me just disclaim all that by saying that I am completely willing to be called a stupid head for saying that. I've never really understood Jackson's motivations and his understanding/methods/etc role in SG-1. I love him to pieces (mostly), but I do not get him.
Daniel would totally be there in Atlantis, circumstances willing having orgasms over all the knowledge now at his fingertips, but I think he would have made just as bad of a leader as McKay would have.
