Hope That Holds.

Ronon! He really was perfectly filling his role as base psychologist. You can tell he's practicing because he has just the right approach to each individual he's treating, and he knows just how to approach Sheppard. It's awesome that, even though his role was reduced here, they're still carrying that thread through for him. Who knew these writers could do it?

And again, these writers - no explanation about the feud, no awkward "hilarity" as they try to assure us Sheppard is straight and his brother's got it all wrong, just letting it sit there and letting the audience make of it what they will. It's kind of amazing.
