And in much the same way John made most of his important decisions -- on the fly, from the gut, and not always the best idea ever -- he made a decision about himself. And Rodney.

Well done and interesting. I liked the McShep byplay, but I really liked the background "life on Atlantis" stuff. I liked the relationship between Sheppard and Lorne, between them and the marines. I liked the flag war and Zelenka's part in it & McKay's sudden generalship.

neat story! A sequel would be cool if you get so inspired...

Thanks! I love the everyday stuff, and while Sunday was great, I wish we got to see more of it woven into the episodes. I figure if I can't see it, I can at least write it, and I'm glad it real well for you.

And Zelenka was totally one of my favorite bits. The image of him declaring himself (in all seriousness, too) Max Payne still makes me giggle. :)
