1. Michael/anyone and everyone. The ship of the future!
2. Rodney/Ronon. Doesn't really work for me as a romantic pairing, although people have written some really good stories. I like them as teammates, though. The dichotomy is fun.
3. I don't think this episode was backsliding for Rodney at all. He didn't have a weapon and he didn't know Ronon had a weapon (although when doesn't Ronon have a weapon?), so there was really nothing for him to do when stuck in tha cocoon. Why not complain? And as soon as Ronon got him out, he was instantly, "Now there is hope!" And yes, he wanted to escape rather than blow himself up (but who wouldn't? Mitchell made the same call in the latest episode of SG-1), but I think he would have sacrificed himself if that had been the only way to save Earth/Atlantis. Furthermore, the thing with the masks on the Daedalus? Yes, it was presented in an amusing way, but he was right: it did makes sense for the people who were still working to use them. So I had no problem with Rodney's characterization in this.
4. I do wonder if the reason Ronon hates Michael in particular so much is because of Teyla. I bet it is.
5. And yeah, poor Wraith. This should be nicely fucked up. *g*
