Yeah, he was a lot more sympathetic here, even though he still screwed up. I think one reason he may have been so crabby and annoying on Atlantis was that he was deeply unhappy there. I don't think he's unattractive in photo #1-- it's more the facial expression and body language than the hair. For me anyway.
He's unhappy on Midway too. You can see him lightening up at the end of the episode, when it's destroyed. :) I'd like to see him placed somewhere where he's competent and valued -- Rodney or someone could stumble on him there and be like, "Wh.....a?" It'd be like Lizzie Bennett going to Pemberley. (Okay, maybe not exactly.)
