Ohmygosh!! That was fantastic! It really very elegantly sums up one of my main views on Rodney. He still is who he is, but he is also changed, and continues to change. I was really struck by unsung_hero_99's pic as well, and I'm so glad you were wonderfully inspired by it. I use my angsty scientist-soldier Rodney dead on the gateroom floor icon just for you! Best, chev
