Oh man, this is really cool. What John wants, what Rodney is able and, more importantly, willing to give him, the uncomfortable parallels between Ronon and Teyla and their easy dynamic--I really enjoyed it. It's a very interesting story, and I mean that in the best possible way.

I like the way it works as a remix as well. Not so much the same events as the same tone, the same anger and frustration underlying both scenarios.

I think my favorite part is that moment of eye contact between John and Ronon when it becomes clear that though there's an underlying competitiveness on John's part at least, Ronon is also providing a warning--don't push him too far, Sheppard. Very cool.

Thanks so much! Definitely worth the wait.
