I really do like how they're developing Sam and Rodney's friendship. This is what I'd hoped they'd move on to, after Redemption -- friendly, a bit flirty, but mutually respectful. They're not pushing Sam and Rodney as a couple, even now that he's no longer with Katie, and while I really don't have a *problem* with Sam and Rodney as a couple per se, I'm glad they've gone a different direction with it. (But oh yes, the thing about flashing the kids utterly cracked me up! Yes, he remembers what it was like to be a 10-year-old boy, all right!)
