Dana, I'll sit on your bench with you.
Lorne: Back in Pylea they used to call me "sweet potato." Connor: Really. Lorne: Yeah, well, the exact translation was "fragrant tuber" but…

The thing is, the story isn't about that. It's not about John and Rodney. It's about Rodney and Atlantis, and the time he spent there, and what he does with everything he learned: from the city herself, from his team, and from John.
So, yeah, you know, sad, but not Willamakee sad.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The thing is, the story isn't about that.
That's a perfectly rational viewpoint. I am not coming from a rational place. I am coming from a DON'T HURT MY WOOBIES place.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
You know, I look at it, and I see it so much about John. John being the central character by virtue of his absence. He's not even named. Rodney's telling the story of seven years of his life, where John and Atlantis became his home; and I'm left to wonder if there's actually anything buried in that grave. Or if it's just a marker for something that was shut behind a gate.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I think there was a reference to the grave being empty.

If I only had a brain...
I don't actually think they let you engrave custom messages in Arlington National Cemetery anyway. You're stuck with the standard name, rank, dates, and possible religious symbol. No "to my own sweetie woobie" or even "Gone before".
