Is that because John already knew his heart, and there was no need for that kind of reconciliation?

Yes! Exactly! At first, I was like, "Huh, why didn't he apologize to John for stuff..." but then I realized that, like Rodney said, they're good. They've worked out their issues, they know what they mean to each other, it was all beautifully simplistic and uncomplicated; he doesn't need to do anything special, because they're just LIKE THAT all the time.

And God, asking him to deliver his eulogy is...I don't even know how to react to that, still, even though I watched that episode almost 2 months ago, because, you don't ask just anyone to do that for you. You ask your husband/wife/partner/the person who means the most to you. This completely validates the importance of their relationship, in my opinion. They really are best friends [and you know, married and stuff, but either way].

Goodness, I love them. So much.

This episode is absolutely fantastic. I want to watch it again now. The love is so prevalent, all around! They all love Rodney so much, and I'm so happy that he knows it.

*cuddles all of them*

Yes! To everything you said! You know, I bet the writers had no intention of making John and Rodney particularly good friends from the start (it really does seem like they're going for the group dynamic more than anything) but Joe and David just play off each other so well, that this thing built up, out of anyone's control, and just became this gorgeous, understated thing that is nevertheless undeniably THERE. His EULOGY! *squeaks* That's... yeah. That's love.

*twirls happily*

God, yes.

And I wonder what John was going to do/say before Rodney passed out.

Because he stood up and said, "Rodney," all anguished, and stepped closer to him, and I swear, he looked like he was going to do something drastic, like hug him. Like, ACTUALLY SHOW SOME PHYSICAL AFFECTION! John Sheppard, who is like, "eww touching and feelings."

Oh well, we did get to see Rodney fall into John's arms.

I seriously was laughing at the candles. One, where did he get them? Two, when he called the medical team to his room were they like, "Sooooo what were you guys...doing...in here....with all the candles....and stuff?" And was John like, "We were meditating!" And were the med team like, "Oh is that what you crazy kids are calling it these days?"

Hahah "You know what he needs? He needs to *release his burden*" WTF John. That made me laugh so hard.

I really think it's true, what you said about them not meaning originally to make John and Rodney such good friends. I actually think I read that they meant to make John and Elizabeth have that military/civilian friendship, but things just didn't work out that way.

I don't think they meant for John and Rodney to be married. It just sort of happened.

Eeee yes I noticed that too! John stepping closer to Rodney, and damn you Rodney for, yknow, passing out! *shakes fist* Hee.

LOL, the CANDLES. *dies* They probably got them from Teyla. I can just see her raised eyebrow. And why isn't Teyla teaching him meditation? She does it all the time!! Haha. Just cause John spent some time with some hippie freaks makes him an expert? No, it's that Rodney responds best to him! And everyone knows it! I love, I love a lot.

I actually really love John and Elizabeth's relationship too. I'm so glad they don't sexualize it, because it would be so easy to Go There, but they DON'T, and that's what's awesome about this show. Everyone loves each other without any of it being about sex. That's awesome. It keeps it away from anything like a soap opera, and keeps it character/concept driven drama, just the way I like it. I love this show :D

Yes, I loved how Elizabeth was like, "Oh yes, John, you are clearly our resident meditation expert! Get to it!"

Umm...didn't we see Teyla meditating like, two episodes ago, in "Echoes?"

Hahaha.

I do like John and Elizabeth's friendship, but i don't see anything remotely romantic about it. At all.

I just don't think they have that kind of chemistry.

And I think they've pretty much dropped the idea, which is good. It shows that they know their characters and what would work and what wouldn't.

See, I can more easily see RODNEY and Elizabeth than John and Elizabeth.

They've got a cute flirty vibe. And he's just so adorable about her; he respects her and treats her so well.

As this episode showed!

Rodney kind of works with everyone, in my opinion. [Just you know, mostly with John :) ]
