Rodney McKay/David Hewlett Thunk/Discussion/Appreciation

[ToasterOnFire]

BTW ShadowMa'at in an interview with Amanda Tapping and David Hewlett a couple of months back DH mentioned he was really looking forward to Carter appearing on Atlantis because on SG-1 she is never wrong but on Atlantis Mckay finally has the chance to beat her

Does that mean a crossover is in the works or that he would like a crossover? Oh, I hope it's the former. Please excuse me while I fall over and die of glee.

Is that interview online anywhere? I'd love to read the entire thing.

One final note for all the UK fans if Sky show season 6 of SG-1 then Redemption Parts 1 and 2 are on the 6th and 7th of May!!! Whoohoo

May? do you mean June or...?

McKay, the secret of women.











How could you not love that face?

[watcher652]

"McKay, the clever way!"

[Fanwoman]

My McKay, your McKay, McKay for all!

btw, it wasnt actually dirty thoughts she was whispering to him-

Dont tell anyone I told you but I heard Intel's making a pentium 5 processor with 6ghz!!

Sloganizer: "Be young, have fun, taste Hewlett."

McKay, the secret of women.











How could you not love that face?

Oh! You guys are so making this a fun morning!

Love the graphic, Toaster!

But contending with a report isn't as exciting

He's probably one of the few people who COULD have stood up to Sam and could have continued arguing the futility of the situation. And we need to know it's futile. We need to know it's impossible to save Teal'c because otherwise there's no drama.

Agreed. Plus, it makes sense Simmons would bring his own expert to back him up--it's much easier to ignore a report than a Rodney McKay!

Aside from that, the SGC doesn't exist in a vacuum. McKay offered an opportunity to demonstrate there's more outside the SGC than politics and espionage, that there are other smart people working on SGC-related technical issues, not just Sam.

The inclusion of the scientific, bureaucratic and political world outside of the SGC has understandably become more common as the series has progressed, but how many non-SGC personnel were directly involved in technical problems before McKay?

Assuming Sky one keeps showing SG-1 at its present rate (1 a day Mon-Fri)
and has the syndication rights to season 6, Redemption part one will be on at 6pm on Monday 6th of May

Does that mean a crossover is in the works or that he would like a crossover? Oh, I hope it's the former. Please excuse me while I fall over and die of glee.

The crossover is tentativly set for the 13th episode of Atlantis season two!!

Is that interview online anywhere? I'd love to read the entire thing.

I made a mistake about the contents of the interview, its actually a different interview where he says he is looking forward to a crossover
The AT and DH interview is here its well worth the read

I must be missing a joke here, then. 6 May 2006? Because unless the international dateline broke free and went on a rampage, the 6th of May was three weeks ago.

It'd be funnier if, say, the 6th season ep aired at 6 on the 6th day of the 6th month. Too bad it wasn't the 6th ep, too.

I'm sorry for this brief interruption of McKay discussion, but I just want to let everyone know that ShadowMaat just made me spray milk out of my nose and all over my keyboard. You may now return to your regularly scheduled McKay.

"Let's talk about McKay."

[watcher652]

"It's time to think about McKay."












I'm thinking, I'm thinking!

[Cory Holmes]

but how many non-SGC personnel were directly involved in technical problems before McKay?

None. It's always been McKay sitting in a dark closet-sized lab at Area 51, working insane hours to do the job of five people and meet impossible deadlines, all while muttering to himself about the ditzy blond who keeps making illogical assumptions about the Stargate and Wormhole Physics.

My one line reply of the day: Mmmm....hands....

[GatetheWay]

After '48 Hours' I wonder how he faired in Siberia. He has yet to mention it in Atlantis. It made such a big impact on his character.

I guess we can move on to Redemption now. I love his entrance line...

"Well, there's no point in building Naquadah reactors for Russia if there isn't going to be a Russia, is there?"

That's why I capped them!
