You were the one I could count on to remain trueeee to Atlantis and not be led astray! ;)
I don't recall him doing a lot of touching ever with the people he cares most about. Both Elizabeth and Teyla hug him at emotionally charged moments throughout the series, and he kind of freezes and barely pats their backs before he makes an escape. (WE ALL NEED TO WATCH THIS NOW OF COURSE: Siege III (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GcHoi5Ulow)) I now want a full accounting of Shep!touching throughout the series!
Off the top of my head I think of:
- Makeouts with random aliens (Chaya, Mara). - Elizabeth hand-grabbing in "The Eye" (practical - she's in shock and he's like no seriously we should probably GTFO right now, and also, he's avoiding her *emooootions* with physical motion) - Touching Elizabeth's arm in "The Real World" (again - practical and life-saving). - The haaaawkward touching in the scene above, where he's pretty much crippled by having Feelings And Kind of Mentioning Them. Am I the only one who thinks that after he leaves he goes back to his quarters and takes a nap from the stress exertion of that conversation?
