( Vague spoilers for various season 2 eps )
Heehee!
I realize that I'm doing what I do with all ensemble shows - I watch them once through, enjoying and appreciating all the storylines. But then I latch on to a ship and start rewatching specifically for their moments. It happens with various speeds and orders, but that's the general idea! With Queer as Folk it was Brian/Justin; Battlestar Galactica, Kara/Lee; Firefly, Simon and River; Torchwood, Jack/Ianto. Supernatural doesn't count because every second on screen is my OTP *g* Which is why I've got every second of every episode practically committed to memory! :D
What I really love the most about John and Rodney's relationship is how John doesn't let Rodney's personality get to him. At all. I mean, I guess this is obvious, but basically John recognizes that Rodney's many personality flaws are not in any way personal attacks, so he just lets them roll off his back like so much rain water. He never tells Rodney to shut up unless there's something big at stake - any other time he either simply pokes fun at Rodney or smiles with fond amusement. John never crushes Rodney - in fact, he's his biggest believer. In turn, Rodney accepts John as an equal and more - he respects John, thoroughly. *squees quietly into fists* Ahem. I'm sorry. I was attempting to be all serious! Basically, they both have very unique personalities that cause them problems for different reasons... in essence, they're both loners that have found an unlikely matching puzzle piece in the other. They're a perfect example of opposites attract.
And I heart them like CRAZY *beams*
Look! New icon! John holds the gun, Rodney holds the lifesigns detector, and they fix every problem - TOGETHER! \o/
