see, i think your expectations are totally right (see my post and the essay i link)..but yes, that's a tall order to fill...

and i agree about civil discussions...though i have to admit that i'm more with chelle on not quite following john though i could buy both enough to honestly love the fic...but rodney in particular made perfect sense to me. [or maybe it's my old problem of being more concerned with internal than canon bvelievability, b/c the John issue is more of a story logic one, i.e., would any man who's never even considered himself bi act in that particular way, rather than, was it john???]
