I've always thought that part of the way that Rodney treats others is because of his own insecurities, he lashes out first so they don't get the chance to lash out at him
Yeah, that's a good point: if he starts in loud and long enough, nobody else'll be able to get a word in edgewise. It also gives them something--a very specific something--to bitch about behind his back. They'll blast him for arrogance and rudeness, and not any of the faults--lack of art, lack of wisdom--that he truly cares about.
And I'm still at the point where I can be surprised and overjoyed every time at how good DH is. It's wonderful.
As for John: yes yes yes. He's clearly so smart--out-thinking even Radek for a lot of this episode, which surprised me. So you know what this means: Rodney's brain + John's brain = OTP. *vbeg*
