Wonderful! I love seeing Rodney all frustrated at Carson for letting John shut the team out - and how he handles getting around that. LOL at locking Carson in his room!

But this is John. They've been on a slow trajectory toward collision since they first got to Atlantis. And having almost lost him (again) to the goddamned iratus bugs (again) makes Rodney feel reckless. Like it's about time he exerted a little more gravitational force, because it's possible they won't have all the time in the world to keep orbiting one another.

Best description EVER! Wow. That like, so explains them. Go Rodney for not waiting and being tired of the dance and realizing that sometimes, you gotta leap for what you want, take the chance.
