Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kesh" data-source="post: 2050048" data-attributes="member: 1308">See, the problem is that Rodney has no patience for other people. When he sees something as a fact, he expects other people to either see it also, or to simply accept that he's right. When they don't, he gets frustrated and tends to be rude.I don't think he's any worse now. In fact, I think he's been humbled a little by the last few episodes (where he's learning how to be more brave & selfless).However, I have to admit I was rooting for Rodney in the episode with the ancient lady. It was pretty obvious to me what was going on, and Rodney was just far more blunt than I would have been. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />In this case, Rodney knew there was a weapon, suspected that the 'holy woman' really knew what was going on, and was getting impatient with the diplomacy. When they were told 'no', he just came right out and told everyone what he thought. At that point, it was more about being right than being polite, to him. Being so close to Ancient technology, and yet being denied access to it because of (to him) phony religion, was just too much.Let's face it: Rodney is a geek. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
