I'll concur, as much as I loved Travelers (for obvious reasons), Miller's Crossing was just so much more.
Rodney has gone so far emotionally since the first show. He's still self centered, but he also cares about other people. And I think Carson and Sheppard did that. Their friendship made him realize that he did need friends, he wanted friends, and having friends would not diminish who he was.
On the same note, Sheppard's never allowed himself to care for anyone. It's so painfully obvious. He'll pal around with you, but never formed anything deeper. With the Atlantis crew I think he finally found his home and his family and he's the type that will fight to the death to protect them both.
That being said..... I was still a little disturbed by the turn of events. Rodney knows what the wraith wants and is willing to pay the price to save his family. Sheppard knows all to well what a bargain like that really means and is willing to make a deal with the devil to save his family. And JF, GOODNESS! When Rodney came to John and told him what he was planing, did you see the tears in Sheppard's eyes?! JF can say so much without actually talking, gah.
The little scene at the end, where Rodney acknowledges that Sheppard for all intent and purposes killed for him and that he's grateful for it? Priceless. It speaks volumes of Sheppard's commitment to his family on Atlantis and of Rodney's understanding that there is more to the universe than just himself. And of the common bond they both share. They're family.
On a totally trivial note, I didn't get a good glimpse of it, but was SHeppard reading a comic book? Anyone?
