Oh, wow. That sounds--seriously funky. In a good way? I dunno yet--I really, really want to have faith in the writers, because they've been so good to us so far.
Putting aside Super(andgodIhopetheydon'tkillhim)Ford and New Guy--gee, now Rodney's had two different love interests bumped up to Lieutenant Colonel. *g*
Well, I thought "Letters from Pegasus" would be really hokey, and it blew me away. So, I'm trusting them. I think this could be really cool. And they get to have "you're a Lieutenant Colonel now" sex. John's going to make Rodney call him "Colonel" in bed now, I know it.
I'm kind of intrigued by John not being the ranking military officer on base anymore, too. I can see some conflict there, and of course Rodney would be on his side...I think it's going to be pretty interesting. Aside from the whole Ford thing.
Every time someone gets a promotion on TV, I have to wrap my brain around the new rank. "Colonel Sheppard." ::says it a few times aloud:: Hmm. (Rodney getting to snap, "Colonel," instead of "Major." Hmmmm...)
I'm kind of intrigued by John not being the ranking military officer on base anymore, too.
I can actually see John being kind of relieved to not be ranking military officer anymore. He didn't sign on for it, and I think it's been a little hard on him--there probably will be conflict, but I can see him being a little happier to not having it all resting on his shoulders, honestly.
PegB has been making me think about that--with Jack there, PegB John hasn't been the top of the food chain, and I think that makes him a little freer. He can be a little more maverick when not everyone is counting on him to be The Guy.

So you're saying he'll feel a little more comfortable having kinky sex on the balcony?
Yes, it all comes down to the porn with me.
You've got a point--he won't have to make the tough decisions as often. But, I'm thinking about his conflict with Teyla in "Letters"--he was torn, between her way of thinking and his military way, and I can see him going more "Atlantean" depending on what kinds of orders the new the new leader is handing out.
I'm a little curious about how the new military leader is going to fit in. He's not going to be a regular, since they've announced only one new one, so how often are we going to see him? How much is he going to impact the day-to-day goings on?
