he can create so much emotion in just two words and he plays dirty, but he does it because he loves Rodney and he cannot let him put himself in danger.
I guess my trouble is that the "but" doesn't make it okay for me; it doesn't make me comfortable with what John did. I squee over John not letting Rodney sacrifice himself, because he loves him: I don't squee over John all but murdering someone for Rodney. I'd prefer to think, as liviapennsuggests (http://liviapenn.livejournal.com/488828.html#cutid1), that he did it for the sake of all the people in the Pegasus galaxy that he helped endanger with the Replicators . . . and Rodney. I could be more comfortable with that, though the scene with Wallace would still be damn disturbing.
It makes John an interesting character, but it doesn't make me like him better (though I do like that he wasn't successfully brushing it off, at the end). The episode was good, but it didn't make me feel good. So I'm more sitting back and going "huh, that was interesting," and not so much squeeing about the awesomeness.
