Rodney McKay/David Hewlett Thunk/Discussion/Appreciation

[sidious618]

I love McKay, I think he's hilarious! Getting David Hewlett in on Atlantis was the best idea they've come up with (Seconded by the really cool gate ) for making the show. Anyway, I'm hoping his sarcastic wit will stay, but he must develop as an actual character.

I agree. I hope they do great stuff with him as I've always liked him.

Ya know, it's funny... I just came across an old post I made back on SG1fans and the question had been asked: who would you like to see on Atlantis? McKay was one of my top choices. Because, I think I said, "every show needs at least one confrontational jack@ss, so it may as well be McKay!" Nice to know my psychic powers are still in full swing! hehe

[David85]

^ Then can you please tell them to end the show before it becomes the X-Files? :-D

Oh and get rid of some new people.

saying that McKay is to Carter as Maybourne is to O'Neill is pretty accurate i think. They worked well together.

I love that comparison! I'd never thought of McKay could compare to one of my favorite characters, Harry, like that, but you're right. Carter and McKay do play off each other well and together make the individual character development richer and more intriguing. Like Jack and Harry, we see sides that don't come out with anyone else.

There's a good interview with David Hewlett in the MGM Newsletter where he talks about McKay's and Carter's interaction and how on Atlantis he'll be the one with the answers.

Go McKay!

For me, Mackay was Sam's Maybourne, and the two of them had a fantastic screen chemistry together, particularly in Revelations. I am slightly wary of how the character will seem without Sam. But overall, I'm thrilled that he's joined the cast of Atlantis.

DR. RODNEY MCKAY
PLAYED BY - David Hewlett
A brilliant and arrogant astrophysicist, Dr. McKay has worked with Samantha Carter (his intellectual nemesis, but also the object of his affections) on two separate occusions: once when Teal'c's pattern was trapped within the Stargate's memory ("48 Hours"), and again when an assault on the gate by Anubis caused its eventual destruction, which nearly destroyed Earth ("Redemption"). McKay is probably between 35 and 40 years old, and along with Major Carter is recognized as one of the world's leading authorities on Stargate technology and the science of gate travel.

[Elwe Singollo]

Change my mind, i agree with 0/3 of your statement, haha... I just don't like the character , but i don't mean to bash any character in any way.

[ShadowMaat]

If you don't like Wodney, then I'm afraid we'll have to boot you off the thread.

Muahaha...

Nah, you'll learn to like him. I'll make sure of it.

[Elwe Singollo]

Yes, boot me , i wouldn't mind , im absolutely sure i won't like him, even if u attempt to force memories into me!

[shinyredpants]

Yes, boot me , i wouldn't mind , im absolutely sure i won't like him, even if u attempt to rape memories into me!

we forgive you for not liking McKay...just as long as you dont hate him! yes..no wait...

*thinks this over*

[Elwe Singollo]

Oh yes, i won't hate Mckay, i'll only... 'not be interested' in any of his scenes, haha...

[Nolamom]

Yes, boot me , i wouldn't mind , im absolutely sure i won't like him, even if u attempt to rape memories into me!

Would you mind editing that to read "brainwash"? As a rape survivor, I find using that term as a joke to be in extremely poor taste.

Me so sorry, i didn't mean to 'bring' back bad memories and such.

[Nolamom]

Thank you. That was very considerate, and I appreciate it. I know that lots of folks throw around that term in a joking manner, but for many of us, it's truly not a joke.

yeah i dont throw that term around either...there's one thing that always bothered me is stories, japanese animation, whatever it doesnt matter where people get off in others getting raped...if you ask me that's just the lowest thing to get off to...

[Elwe Singollo]

Japanese Anime that show that, or Hentai, that include rape does make me have suspicians about those perverted Japanese, although some of them can make excellent 'none hentai' anime.
