Thank you! I'm frankly really glad to know other people see them this way...makes me feel a bit less tin-hattish about the whole thing. (To be honest, one reason I'm almost relieved the show is ending is that this pairing hopefully won't have time to develop into something big. I have no interest in watching SGA: The Love Story...with anyone, really. Even a slash pairing would probably end up annoying me...romance is just not why I watch the show.)
I also am hoping we never find out if John told Rodney about "The Last Man" future (or that we find he definitely did tell him) because this is the only way I really can make sense of "The Shrine" - I can too easily see Rodney convincing himself he does love someone after being told he had a relationship with them in an alt history. He doesn't want to be alone (he's not alone! but I don't think even now that Rodney fully understands just how much the team is there for him...)
