The friendship is so strong - Allies and No Man's Land are best for it, but I like the way they work together. They just...click. You know, it's odd but for someone who is obviously "bad with people", Rodney does seem to grow on them.
What I didn't like was that he summarily grounded her I don't think we were supposed to like it. He was mean, angry and downright rude. As a commander, I don't suppose he would see it as her decision, and I can understand how, from her perspective at the end of the episode, she would say he was right. Something I really liked about the whole thing was the ambiguity of it all. She's right and he's right, and she's probably wrong to say he was right, but she regards the pregnancy totally differently at the end of the episode, so I understand why she does it. It's a mess, basically. It feels like a mess, it looks like a mess, it sounds like a mess. Which I like, because people are, in general, messy. :)
The one upside of the whole 'tying up loose ends' thing is that it's got me wondering what the hell is going to happen. There's no way they can't up the stakes, so with the Replicators out of the way and the Wraith back to S1 levels of threat, I'm actually quite keen to see what happens next. Which may mean I'm in for a massive disappointment, but hey, I'm a Torchwood fan. I'm used to it!
