You know: I agree 100% with you on all accounts. I loved Rodney from the start and never thought I'd love John as much as I did in the end (though Woolsey is a close second) and I absolutely HATE Season 5 Rodney (what the hell did they do to him? *sobs*). Also never got Sheppard/Weir. At all. That's just so wrong on so many accounts... And if it makes you feel better: Carson was never my most loved character either. Never got the fuss about the guy.
