They really are. I liked that they were very much themselves still - it didn't get all warm and fuzzy, even at the end. Rodney's just matter of fact about not leaving Carter behind, which felt just right. And I love that he's both action!Rodney and a complete wimp, and wonderfully, wonderfully inept. Even after everything, Keller still has to prod him at the end. I get the feeling she's adopted him as a project! It's got to be the best writing of the season so far.
