The episode that was plotty and cool and had pretty new clothes for John and made me gasp out a "holy shit" that was all plot related twice, and would have been almost pretty damn perfect if it hadn't been for John's last line.

I might think differently about it tomorrow, but for now, it just annoys me that this writer couldn't acknowledge the team-love completely. The talk with Teyla was excellent, so why ruin it?

Maybe I'm just cranky because my eyes hurt so damn much. Watching the show with one eye closed is considerably less fun than watching with both, pain-free eyes open.
If anybody has a better reading of John's line, I'm all ears (if no eyes). I do really want a less grumpy reading of it, but I may need assistance.

I loved the last line. I saw it as John not being able to resist poking at Rodney, even when Rodney isn't in the room. It's that deeply ingrained. Because with John, it all comes down to Rodney. And the team is used to it. "Rodney this, Rodney that, I wouldn't marry rescue Rodney if he were the last man on Earth," yadda yadda and they just grin knowingly.

Upon rewatching with fresher eyes and less tired: Yes. I do agree. But thanks for setting my fannish head straight. It needs it sometimes.
