Holy screencaps Batman! How much do I love you for those! The little captions were adorable too (Sheppard, after men die. Teyla, after men die...LOL!)
You know, it was really interesting to me that Sheppard didn't recognize that call designation. I wasn't entirely sure what to make of that. I'm actually surprised he wouldn't know that one in particular, especially since he has a head for numbers...
Your thoughts on Keller interested me too. I didn't see her as annoying, when she was pushing to try and save Elizabeth. To me, that's her job. And Rodney is more than a match to say no to something he doesn't want to do. And while Sheppard said no in that first scene when Rodney calls him "John", he did leave an opening. He said somethng about, not having this conversation unless Rodney was a 100% sure -- and both Rodney and Keller took that as a way to turn no into yes. And, Rodney *was* 100% sure when he sent Keller the program (something he emphasized later). It was John's reply that it's not possible for Rodney to ever be 100% sure, that was really telling, though. Then you knew that John's first no *had* been final, but Rodney and Keller and, well, me, didn't see it that way.

The whole thing is just fascinating to me!
