I can totally see Rodney losing himself in his science. He lost his entire team/second family in a matter of months (maybe a year?), and then his only connection to Pegasus/Atlantis a year after that... it was science or gibbering mess!
The ascension idea has merit (perhaps in 48,000 years the Ancients have learned a little interference is a good thing).
I also am glad they didn't leave off with John emerging from stasis (or just going into stasis), or just going through the gate. I kept looking at the clock going "Wait... they're not actually going to end it there?" It seems to me that the cliffhangers for the odd-numbered seasons are a little more intense than the even-numbered.
I just don't want to get up my hopes for h/c and emotion-filled reunions and then be disappointed.
But... but... isn't that what fanfic is for? (And if I thought I could stretch it out for 40,000 words I'd do it for Big Bang... alas, I cannot.) It could've been a more intense cliffhanger, but I like the setup too. Maybe Rodney can at least get a splinter or something. An infected splinter.
