Am I the only person in the fandom who is going to call this the 'not-Shep/not-Weir' kiss?
No. Actually Sheppard/Weir fans have been calling it this for a while. I knew about this episode months ago, and those who liked spoilers were well aware it wasn't actually John or Elizabeth doing the kissing.
None of this affects fanon, the pairings I like, or anyone's enjoyment of the show, unless you have to have your pairing canon. This is just the way I'm reading the episode cues.
Nice to see someone else who feels this way. Those that ship each pairing are taking away something different than the other, and that's the way it's going to be as long as we have these writers for the show. They've admitted they enjoy pitting one "shipper" group against the other.
