It seemed much more of a writing slip than an intentional use to me, as well. I mean, sure, it means we can have Rodney call Sheppard "John" whenever we want during a particularly stressful situation, but it almost seems too easy after four years of waiting. I hope for further evidence in future episodes, but it really is out-of-sync with other episodes we've seen to this point. If we don't get any further evidence of this change, obviously fic writers are going to have to fill in the gaps ;) Only if I had the time...

I love fluff, especially when it leaves so much room for interpretation with their expressions. I love those two. If you haven't seen Joe M's "behind-the-scenes" clips that he has on his blog, you should, because despite being both Joe and David, they remind me so much of John and Rodney. Oh, boys,.

Sad to say I have a story where I decided to see how far I could go without reining the two in... it went on pages, and I had to stop it for sake of expediency. If I could get a weekly dose of snark from each episode, I'd probably be a happy fangirl.
