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 second what [Unknown site tag] said. John likes making digs at Rodney.

I think the writer wanted a little McKay-Sheppard punchline at the end, which if you think about it, is a way of acknowledging the importance of Rodney to John. I mean, John brought up McKay's name when the talk was about him saving people. He could have left it as 'anyone one of you'. So yeah to me, what he said is the reverse of what he means.

Your point is gladly taken. As, as I said above: Upon rewatching with fresh eyes, I'm far less critical.
