I'd take either Sheppard because he's so smart or Teyla because I think she's the best fighter out of em'. Yep, that includes Ronan. I'd love to see them have another stick fight, but without him besting her when she's not looking.Comment

TV fighting is always stage to last long and entertain. In reality, when the guy is knocked down (this is the guy you're trying to beat into submission or whatever before he kills you), you don't dance around and let him get back up. You pick up the nearest object (laptop, typewriter, whatever) and whack him on the head, or give him a good kick. Even Rodney knew that. Smashed the guy on the head with the bottle!Originally posted by alfirin_kirinkiIt was the style known as 'How Real People Fight'. It reminded me of Bridget Jones - and that was the best and most realistic fight scene I think I've ever seen in a movie.Comment

What's really funny is that this was a staged fight. So, of course they had to plan each move. Can't you just hear the stunt coordinator saying, "No, no, no, that's not inexperienced enough. McKay would never hit like that!"
Just becauseSpoiler:
To me, McKay actually looks physically better to take care of himself than Sheppard. McKay has broad shoulders and large arms.
I would think that Sheppard would have insisted that McKay get some hand to hand training to be on his team, just in case. McKay being McKay, would constantly be ducking out of his training sessions. Wait, maybe that was McKay with training.
Kidding aside, I think he did very well considering the situation. You try having a smooth fighting style when you'reSpoiler:

Oh yeah, totally. I made this thread because I love him.
But I still think Sheppard would be better because agility always wins!Comment

Ridiculously long. And they make it look so harmless and playful.Originally posted by prion
Word to the wise: The only reason ever to hit someone in the head is if he's trying to kill you (or trying to kill someone else). You will probably kill him or damage him severely. And you will spend months, years, or even the rest of your life having to defend your actions to people who *know* you were wrong wrong wrong.Originally posted by prion

If he didn't, that's incredibly irresponsible. (Which wouldn't surprise me given what the writers seem to think of Sheppard.) McKay has to be able to recognize potential danger, fall safely, defend himself, get out of someone's grip, get help, and know when to run like the hounds of hell are after him. It would help if he can recognize and try to avoid traps too.Originally posted by watcher652
I would be very disappointed if the writers decided on that. McKay is supposed to be a genius. And he has often proclaimed his value. It makes no sense that he wouldn't protect his value. Think of how much impact just a broken jaw would have on his work effectiveness. Never mind being kidnapped or dead.Originally posted by watcher652
That film industry stereotype of the trainer who can't train worth a d*** equals a trainer who is out of a job in the real world. If a person doesn't do well with standard training, the trainer will adapt. Every little bit helps.
Another thing the film industry screws up is no one ever practices. Ridiculous!Last edited by Wordsmit2; 29 November 2005, 01:18 AM.Wordsmit2

McKay being a good fighter would be completely out of character
He's a labrat - when he's not off-world with Sheppard he is researching the technology in the city
I doubt he has time to trainsigpicComment

Well, they don't have time to show people training unless it's pivotal to a plot.Originally posted by Wordsmit2
I'm sure Sheppard has tried to get McKay into better shape, but McKay can easily defer time in the gym to work on important projects. As long as he can run away from the wraith and not shoot his own people, I'm sure Shep is okay with it. After all, it's his job to protect McKay.Comment

Does anyone else wonder if Mackay looks like Bob Hope too. To illustrate my point, can anyone do a side-by-side picComment
