I don't know much about real life but the TV shows referenced are a little geeky. Also, a little Rodney/Keller, even though Carson is still on the scene so I've completely ignored the shows timelines. Oops
Choices
Rodney was paralysed, nothing permanent but it was driving him insane. Carson assured him it would last no more than a day or so. Maybe two. 74 hours at the most. Rodney was only 6 hours in and it was driving him crazy.
None of his friends came to visit him, apart from Radek. That just frustrated him even more because he was itching to get back to work. He could barely talk yet he somehow managed to get into an argument which made Radek walk out.
Rodney begged Carson to put him into a coma but Carson refused, 'however tempting that may be' he added.
Rodney missed coffee but without it he was able to get some uninterrupted sleep.
He woke to the curious sensation of somebody holding his hand. He was able to strain his neck to see it was Sam.
"Hey you're awake." She smiles and Rodney wants to shake his head but he can't.
"I think I must be dreaming." His voice is a little hoarse so Sam puts a cup of water to his lips and he takes a sip.
"How are you holding up?" She asks.
"I swear, I will never complain about physical activity again."
"Can I get that in writing?" Sam smiles before she remembers Rodney can't even hold a pen at the moment.
"Argh, I'm so BORED!" Rodney is literally bored to tears and Sam can't stand to see that.
"Okay, who would you rather? John or Ronon?" Sam asks innocently whilst Rodney's eyes bug out of his face.
"That is evil! You are an evil woman. You can't do it on people we know, that's unfair. I have to work with them and now you've got me-" Rodney would shudder but he's still paralysed. Sam is chuckling. "Who would you rather? Mitchell? Daniel? Teal'c? O'Neill?"
"Okay, okay! I get your point!" Sam raises her hands in defeat. "Is TV good?"
"Sci-fi?" Rodney asks
"Is there any other genre?" Sam grins. "Who would you rather? Old Starbuck or new?"
"New one is crazy hot but she's also crazy. I think I'd stick with Dirk Benedict." Rodney decides.
"I'd have chosen Kara." Sam tells him. "Sure she's high maintenance but I think she's worth the trouble. So, what have you got?"
"Who would you rather? Kirk, Picard, or Spock?" Rodney challenges. Sam laughs.
"Picard has that English charm about him. He could woo you with Shakespeare. Besides, bald men are supposed to be more virile." That evokes a wince-like smile from Rodney. "What about you?"
"Spock, everytime. He's just the logical choice." Rodney manages to shrug and Sam can feel the grin threatening to split her face in two.
"Okay, last one before I've got to get back to work." Sam decides. "Captain Hammer or Captain Reynolds?"
"Ahhh." Rodney tries to think. "Can't I choose Kaylee? She's so smart and sweet, and really really pretty!" Sam looks at him, a knowing glint in her eyes. Rodney changes the subject. "Can't I choose Penny?" Sam shakes her head. "Simon? He's really protective over his sister. Billy? He needs to get laid-"
"I've got to go back to work." Sam tells him softly. "But it's been fun." She kisses him, chastely on the lips.

"What was that for?" Rodney inquires. Sam shrugs.
"I like your taste in men."
