I think what was the most difficult thing to watch wasn't only Rodney severely wounded (as opposed to the butt arrow that had me rolling on the floor) but the shock of Rodney being severely wounded and not whinning about it. You know what they say about hypocondriacs : when it's really bad, they don't complain as much.

that it was bad. I liked how he concentrated on the situation and on solving the problem and didn't whine because he was injured. Well, he made up for that later. 
You know, I don't think the fact that

he go shot will ever get mentioned again, in the next ep he'll be right as rain again. It's the non-continuity thing we see in SG so soften (did anyone mention the depleted ZPM in the last ep? 
Not important enough?). I think that's sad, I'd like to see it get mentioned again, at least shortly. Not only because such a wound doesn't heal within days (and even if Rodney is his old complaining self at the end of the ep - this looked like a more serious injury!), but also because after the whole "Sheppard doesn't trust Rodney anymore" affair after "Trinity" we now have a similar situation, only the other way round. Sure, Sheppard was hallucinating, but really, in the end Rodney just saw Sheppard shooting him. That must be quite an emotional trauma when someone you consider a friend is shooting you! This will haunt you, you'll see the scene in your mind over and over again, and your trust in said person might not be as strong as before for a while. Well, in the real world at least, where there's continuity, in SGA we won't see much of that I guess.

Bye, A.
Has become one of my all time favourite whump scenes.
