I think it’s sad that my fascination with names has progressed to the point where I find it somehow interesting that Sheppard *calls himself* John.
Yeah, I found that interesting. And then I didn't know why I found it interesting *g*. I think it's an occupational hazard of these shows where it's all last names - in discussion I'll use 'John' and 'Sheppard' interchangeably but neither is quite him to me.
Your thoughts on romantic!Sheppard are completely convincing. I don't think *he* thinks he's always flirting (although I can buy that Rodney does) - take 'Underground', when he has to defend his non-hitting-on ways to Tyrus, and when we do see him acting with romantic intent towards Chaya it's very different to his behaviour anywhere else. It makes me sad to think of him just not bothering, though.
