Oh, I totally agree. What is interesting to me is that even David Hewlett and the writers make statements to the affect that Rodney is an ass. I was watching one of the special features on the DVD's (can't remember which season), in which DH was hosting and he and Gero, I believe, did nothing but belittle Rodney through the whole installment. It was funny the first few minutes, but became excessive, after awhile. I love McShep, as it is my OTP in SGA,and Rodney is my favorite character. And,I don't hate John, but there are times when I don't like him very much. But,he is written as the almighty hero, or more correctly, how TPTB interpret a hero. Most of our great fic writers love John and portray him as a pretty decent fellow that we would probably want to meet.Besides, I have to say that John has evolved as the seasons have gone by,and I think that we have Joe Flanigan to thank for that, not the writers.
