You know, this episode totally shocked me with that moment, not because I was surprised (which I wasn't) John could rival Rodney in self-congratulatory-ego-stroking, but because he's so damn territorial, I always expected him to do his smirk equivalent of growling when faced with another!Sheppard. Honestly, every single instance we've previously had of John facing a different John, he's been standoffish (and, yeah, those were either evil!Johns or replicator!Johns, so... point) but even with the whole Rodney-Rod-Repli!Rodney, he always seemed astounded McKay would be able to look pass the other-him thing and get into Double-him-YAY! You know? I don't know if I'm being coherent. It's 7:23 am here, and I've yet to go to bed. Damn SGA induced insomnia.

Yeah, it's true, this differed greatly from previous experiences. Maybe it's 'cause this other!John just saved his life, and our!John knew he would be leaving very soon, so there was nothing to be territorial over?
Or maybe John's just realized that Rodney's approach to life is correct and astute in all things. *nods*
