Besides, big picture: if Radek was flirting with her in earnest, then Esposito was ignoring them because "ew, the geeks are flirting with me and why couldn't Ronon have been assigned escort duty." This makes Esposito an idiot. On the other hand, if Radek was trying to include her in heckling McKay, she's ignoring him because "good God, don't those two ever quit." That means that she, like most of the other scientific community, has yet to percieve the point in my first paragraph. Which makes her normal. ~.^

Furthermore, Sam and Radek are the only scientists McKay comes close to respecting, the same two scientists who are the ones most often stepping up on him. Therefore I give a handwave to inviting or cajoling the other scientists into heckling McKay since Radek is smart enough to percieve that the only way Mckay's subordinates are going to be able to win McKay's respect is by giving him some of his own back. A lot of his own back.Spoiler:While I agree that McKay runs his department in a very belittling manner, I still don't see where that would cause Radek to welcome others to belittle McKay..we haven't seen that in Radek.....the closest was in Quarantine when he was in the transporter with Sam and even then it was more of a surprise observation then it was a belittlement...besides Sam wasn't a subordinate.
It doesn't look good for one department head (Radek) to encourage subordinates to belittle or encourage the belittlment of a supervisor, no matter how bad that boss might be.
Standing by a subordinate when the boss is wrong is not the same as encouraging heckeling of that same boss. Most management I know expects that behavior to be with peers and away from subordinates.
Radek treats others pretty decently so he more than makes up for Rodney's rather poor administrative skills.
Rodney could care less what his subordinates think so no matter how much they want to give it back to him, I don't think it would phase Rodney in the slightest...People like Sam, Radek, Sheppard have much more of an influence on Rodney's behavior then the subordinates do.

If she doesn't find Radek attractive then she doesn't ( OMG god, fangirl blasphamy) ....it was pretty clear in the episode she liked men more physical fit and closer in her own age group as I suspect Ronan is .
We don't know if Radek was flirting with her in ernest...he could have been doing it just to irate Rodney.

Radek and Rodney are in constant competition with each other. If Radek perceived Rodney liked Esposito, I could see him testing the waters to see if she was interested....after all you have to say or do something in order to find out....

Hmm too bad we don't have a better view of it. From this vantage point I was almost thinking it was one of those medical alert bracelets or something.Lets just say Radek Zelenka can be my Mad Scientist any day!
