I do wonder what the reactions would have been if John had drugged Rodney. Or, if Rodney had drugged Teyla. Would that have been considered a cute and harmless gag?

Oh God, if John had done it to Rodney - it would have been worse than Trinity. If Rodney had done it to Teyla... well, I imagine fandom's reaction overall would have been a lot stronger than it was, but I do wonder how the crazy Rodney fans would have taken it. I mean, particularly considering Teyla's never done anything they could even twist to make it seem like she picks on Rodney.
