A great big "YES!" to all the things you mentioned (I seriously loved the forest in this episode, so very pretty.) I wasn't exactly thrilled about it at first, but I have warmed to the idea of Ronon and Keller. I'm also not opposed to the idea of Rodney/Keller, but I had serious issues with the way it was dealt with in "The Shrine" that makes me hesitant to want to see it onscreen now.
I don't understand why Rodney becomes so clueless and awkward when he likes a woman. Give me the overly-confident, acerbic Rodney who went after Carter in SG-1, over this stumbling, awkward guy any day.
You see, I think Sam is a different ball game entirely *g* He sees her as being the same level as him mentally (and she completely beats him out in the physical and heroic aspect), and so he's threatened by her... as well as attracted to her. But I don't think he ever really believes there's a serious chance with her, like he might with Katie, Keller, or even Allina from "The Brotherhood". So in that way, he's more comfortable being around her, because he "doesn't stand a chance". Those he might have a shot at, he can't act like himself (ie: "the kinder, gentler Rodney McKay"), because he doesn't believe they'd like him. But, er, that's just my take on it.
