Well, I think that it's valid to dislike a show for bad writing, and I think that a lot of people see the McKay/Keller thing as bad writing. I thought it was at first --- her liking him seemed completely random and out of the blue. Initially, I saw it as the geek writer fulfilling his fantasies by letting the geek get the girl.
However, when I thought about it more, I realised that it actually does make sense. She Doogie-Howsered her way through school, and therefore probably knows what it's like to be a little socially awkward, and she also knows what it's like to be a genius.
Taking that into account, I buy that she would like Rodney. I think that she finds his awkwardness endearing (I know that I do!) and she likes that he says what he thinks and doesn't sugarcoat things. She obviously values that quality, because she does the same thing to him --- I really like that she tells him when she thinks he's being arrogant. Because of that, I actually think she's good for him.
As much as I like the idea of John and Rodney, John is currently far to screwed up to be in a happy relationship.
So Rodney can be in a healthy relationship for a while, and John can spend a while coming to terms with his myriad of issues, and learning that he wants and deserves happiness himself.
Rodney will realise that there's something missing from his relationship with Keller, and will end it with her. DADT will be overturned, and John will finally have the courage to tell Rodney how he feels.
Then they can live happily ever after!
*cough* Not that I've given this a lot of thought!!
