Good episode. Worth re-watching. I want the new Runner back, because Ronon needs a new guy to bond with and it could offer up more chances to grow Ronon's character. Sheppard is back in "stall" mode and, sure, McKay grows but he keeps regressing, so I don't put much stock in his twice- (or is it thrice?) yearly forays into existentialism. We might as well watch Ronon grow some more, now that season 5 Teyla is getting most of hers through the eternal and apparently universal struggle to balance life and work.
My take on Ronon & Rodney's chat in the end is ... Ronon was joking until the third time he said, "Wait." In the end, he seemed to me as serious as Rodney.
The only problem I have with the little subplot-- I think it might be romance --between two (three?) permanent characters is why it took this long. But that's me. I'm curious, though, as to why, after avoiding such "background" stories going on four+ years, the writers would hit 50% of the main cast in the same prickly net.
Still, I did enjoy this ep.
