it's more than half way plausible as something that could happen on the show
I pity Elizabeth Weir sometimes. Really I do. It's not enough for her research expedition to be stranded in another galaxy in the middle of a war against the BorgReavers the Wraith, she's got to have subordinates with the emotional maturity of twelve-year-olds, too.
Look at how many deeply geeky series revolve around a set of characters that are in some way separated from their original families, who then proceed to make their own little (geek) family.
*nods* Pretty much every Joss Whedon show has some of that (not surprising, since Joss Whedon is a self-confessed huge geek), and most genre shows have a touch of it. The Atlantis crew haven't quite reached the level of unbreakable family-type bonding that SG1 had/have, but given time (and some resolution on the Ford-is-turning-into-a-wraith storyline), who knows?
As for January, Rose, and Hannibal's massively co-dependant little threesome arrangement... that sort of exists in a fanfiction-like catagory of its own, rivalled only by C.S. Friedman's Coldfire trilogy and a couple of buddy cop shows (and 19th century novels). And it's the only example of that particular you-and-me-against-the-world intense partner thing I've ever encountered that involves more than two people.
