Thank you! I really like the idea of the usage of someone's name (first, last, nickname, rank) reflecting upon that relationship, depending on the person of course. I really felt for John during "Lifeline" with all of the stress, and he definitely looked relieved to have that taken from his shoulders with Sam's arrival.

I've actually got several pages of the different incidents. Some of it surprised me. I was sure that John would have reverted to the McKays after "Trinity", but he didn't. After reading through the "Conversion" transcript, I started to wonder if I saw lingering tension between them because I was expecting to. Now I'm going to have to watch again, darn.
