I personally do not understand the fascination! We fought a war to get rid of royalty and now you can't turn on the morning news without having to listen to an endless barrage of "royal wedding" garbage. I will be glad when it's over and I don't have to hear about it anymore.
I'm not too crazy about the back and forth either, but, enjoying the cameos of O'Neill, Carter, and Jackson. Also enjoyed seeing the ship named after Hammond.
