The Keller romance thing annoyed me, though some aspects tickled me in a twisted way. The Rodney she fell for is the happy-go-luckier, tripping toward Alzheimer's Rodney. The real Rodney is much pissier and pricklier. I got a sadistic glee over the idea that she missed the diagnosis partly from being smitten with his new self and resisted going to the shrine out of what looked like selfishness. I can only help the Atlantis folk also saw it that way.
The show often has characters say things that don't hold up to actual experience. "Carson is my best friend." Or all the knocks at Rodney, who this season seems to be one of the squishiest people there (like having daily talks with in-stasis Carson and showing more concern over parasited Keller being left in the dark without warning in "The Seed").
It says big things about their friendship that John is the person Rodney ran to at his scaredest and that he placed so much importance in John even when most of his mind was gone. That scene at the pier really was wonderful.
