You rarely get to see Carter actually affected by a man in this series. Even with Jack, she is so repressed that it is difficult to believe she has feelings for him.
There was such a strange chemistry between Carter and Orlin, more than she has had with any other characters (that I've seen so far) on SG1. There was an adorable scene where he proclaimed she liked him and she was grinning with embarrassment. The guy has a funny sense of humor, and him and Carter have a unique dynamic that works well somehow.
After watching this episode a second time, I was so touched that in the end when they separated, I broke out in tears because I felt so bad for Carter. I know she doesn't get to experience something like that often. You can tell that she holds everything inside and acts a good soldier, but after seeing her lonely life at home, you've got to know it hurts bad to lose him.
By the way, some of the things this guy says about Carter in the beginning- Wow. What incredibly romantic and wonderful things to say about someone. I never thought SG1 would have such a touching romance story.
