This was absolutely stunning! I always (somewhat guiltily) adore a messed-up John and oh did I ache for him in this. Loved his relationships with Teyla & Ronon, how they loved him and knew how to be there for him. And his instant connection with Rodney, maybe almost too instant for him to handle. Plus all the lovely kite imagery & symbolism and flying as both a link to bad memories for John but also freeing for him.

I'm sort of rambling I think, but I thought this was a perfect mix of great characterizations and team vibe and angst and romance. And by the end I was soaring with hope and happiness myself. :)
