I realized during Quarantine that the only kind of relationship that could EVER work out for Rodney is with someone who is assertive. Someone who won't let him lie down. But at the same time, they'll let Rodney be himself in his full snarky genius splendor.
Katie was downright BAD for Rodney. I never saw Rodney be himself around her and she enabled some of his more regrettable tendencies.
Sam on the other hand would be exactly the opposite extreme. She'd push and he'd push and everything in that relationship would be big and large - the passion and the fights. All too hot to last for long.
Keller. I haven't been able to get a good read on her character, yet. I can't decide if she's good at her job or not. I can't decide if she's timid or stead-fast. So it's hard for me to view her in a relationship when I can't even view her. Especially when that relationship is with Rodney.
I really, really want to like Keller. But I haven't been given a reason to, yet. So. Right now? I'm inclined to agree with your interpretation of things. I just can't see Keller and Rodney going long term. She's not the balance that he needs. At least, not yet.
