Ah, okay - yes, I can see Rodney & Keller becoming friends later on (I actually wrote it that way, when I wrote the break-up fic...) Even if they wouldn't have one-tenth the spark of Rodney/Sam (...I would break my McShep OTP for Rodney/Sam. Their chemistry leaves me panting. Though I love their casual friendship now so much...am loving Woolsey, but I miss Sam!)

Actually the slow pace of McKeller is part of what's bothering me. What exactly took her SO long from telling Ronon she was interested in someone else to prodding Rodney into asking her out? She had some weird issues or hangups or what? She knew he was interested; if she actually *loved* him shouldn't she have made a move sooner? Or was she having some sort of fantasy she didn't want ruined by actually getting together with him? Very odd...
