I was actually delighted to see Daniel -- true, he didn't do much, but ... Daniel in leather! Snarking with Jack! I don't care if it was just a cameo; it was totally unexpected and made me a happy fangirl.
I do sincerely hope that we're not supposed to be sympathizing with Young, because I've really come to loathe him. He's a bully, a coward, a torturer and an attempted murderer who has no compunctions about sacrificing innocents (Chloe, on the alien ship) to maintain the public face of a hero and protector.
Telford and Rush ... yeah. I still wish that they didn't swap actors when they swap characters, because it would make some of the plot workarounds and moral workarounds so much more obvious. Like Young beating up Telford in Rush's body (though, as mentioned earlier, I already hate Young, so it's not like it made me hate him more -- I don't think that's possible). I really could see no logical reason except plot necessity why they wouldn't swap out Rush; like you said, it's not as if they would end up more compromised, and Telford should be the one to take the heat and the risk, not Rush. Of course, for Young, if Rush gets killed it's just another plus, so I can see why he'd do it (see above re: hating Young), but Jack going along with it ... well, as in most of his SGU appearances, it's pod!Jack again, the guy who lets the SGC walk all over civilians and engage in booty calls with other people's bodies.
