Carl Binder did a Q & A session in Joe Malozzi's blog and was asked if the subtext in this scene was intentional. I read that. And squeed. Because it either means, that Flanigan is really bad at acting put out (which no, we saw he can do that), or he intentionally put the subtext in it (Yeah. I believe that. I really, really do) . I don't know about the scripts, but they don't have things like "Sheppard is supposed to be put out" written on it, have they? *ggg* So it's all Joe's fault really. And David's a bit, because he just goes with the flow. *g*
And there's no way, you can see that scene as Sheppard being put out. Like you pointed out. The way he just went away? Without a word, with that look? No, definitely not put out, but hurt.
And a Rodney who knew perfectly well that he did - somehow - hit a sore spot of John's Absolutely. The way he averts his eyes and everything? It's a tell tale sign for Rodney lying and being uncomfortable. And you really have to wonder why that is, because, like you said, Rodney did never make a big deal out of his crushes. He always talked to John in one way or another. Not here, though.
And yeah, if Rodney would've been a woman, no one would question the big epic love thing. No, tptb would've made a big deal out of showing that they're crushing on each other like with Carter and O'Neill. *rolls eyes*
