O.K I know this is old but I wasn't around then and hadn't seen SGA, I also find this snippet interesting given what the character has gone through in the first half of Season 2. *Trying to avoid anything spoilery*Originally posted by watcher652Nice interview with David in the Feb 2005 issue of Starlog magazine #331. Jennifer Garner as Elecktra is on the cover. Now on news stands in the US.
Some quotes to tempt you:
"When you first meet people, it's black and white. Your first sense of McKay is, 'Oh, this is an obnoxious, misogynist jerk.' But if you get stuck in an elevator with someone, you're going to see other sides of them. [The Stargate characters] get to prove themselves, make fools of themselves, make mistakes and correct them. McKay goes through so much in this show. It's not so much that he softens; you're just seeing other sides of him. No one can be that obnoxious all the time. There's more than just the arrogant astrophysist in there."
"Frankly, I wouldn't want McKay to have a friend. What, he's going to be nice to them? There's some dull science fiction!"
"You'll laugh at this analogy, but he's a bit like Neo in The Matrix. Neo is this nerd who suddenly discovers that he has to save the universe. Well, McKay, in a way, sees himself like that. He's the chosen scientist who's going to have to fix all this stuff. It's his time in the Sun."
Full page photo of McKay and his gun from Childhood's End. Another large photo as the mist-McKay from Home. Smaller photos from Rising, Thirty Eight Minutes, Underground, Home, The Eye, Sanctuary. (Just identifying them because I'm pleased I recognize all the photos except the second photo on the bottom of Sheppard and McKay.
Maybe it's from Before I Sleep, I haven't seen that one yet).
David is right about the "Frankly, I wouldn't want McKay to have a friend" but of course a lot of us do think he is now friends with Dr Beckett and Col Sheppard, well as much as an annoying obnoxious scientist can be! So I guess I am wondering if we see this as dull or do we see it as growth? 
I found that comment from David interesting, I know the actors would not have that much say if any in the direction of their characters but I get from this that David thinks maybe McKay shouldn't grow and develop so much as to change his basic characteristics (which of course is right) but then I wonder can you play the same character for 6 years without that kind of growth, wont that in-fact be what becomes "[snip] some dull science fiction".
Also the
"Well, McKay, in a way, sees himself like that. He's the chosen scientist who's going to have to fix all this stuff. It's his time in the Sun"
does seem to be the way the writers have gone with the character, and I think in "Trinity" we see where this has lead him, this way of thinking or looking at his place in history.
No I don't want McKay to start being a happy go lucky guy
but I do want him to be human, and to do that he needs to grow to see things from other people's prospective. Spoiler:
I see him in SG-1 as being much different a man then the man we see in The Lost Boys, and I may not always agree with the way the writers portray him *too much of the cliche science buffoon in S2* but I think they are aware he cannot tread water.Comment

Tonight's caps are from the extras on Nothing... basically a little documentary on Vincenzo, Andrew and David and their friendship and how the movie came about. Some of these I've seen elsewhere, but really... you can't have to many of these caps:
Sullen teenager DH
Boonie DH
A blurry but familiar pose.. if you've seen Duet. And he's got Sheppard hair!
Speaking of hats... how about DH and a cowboy hat....
There's a few more... 10 in all, to include a couple from Elevated, here.

I for one would find it very dull if Rodney never made any deep friendships on the show! Rodney is sort of the "investment character" for me on Atlantis - I see all his faults and I see all the good qualities that lie deeper and I want to see good things happen for him. Granted, I don't want to see him become sweet and sappy and lose his snarky edge, but I would like to see him break down and truly trust people. Right now I'm not so sure he deeply and completely trusts anyone other than himself.Originally posted by Drwho'sroseDavid is right about the "Frankly, I wouldn't want McKay to have a friend" but of course a lot of us do think he is now friends with Dr Beckett and Col Sheppard, well as much as an annoying obnoxious scientist can be!

But right now I could see how DH would think that McKay doesn't have any friends. Oh, he has colleagues, sure - Zelenka, Carson, Shep - and he can argue and snark with them, but I don't think he personally sees them as his friends. Rodney seems more the guy who gravitates toward certain people, but it would take a blow to the head for him to admit they were his friend. Such an attitude can be seen in plenty of people, especially men.

Well that is an interesting perspective.Originally posted by ToasterOnFireRodney seems more the guy who gravitates toward certain people, but it would take a blow to the head for him to admit they were his friend. Such an attitude can be seen in plenty of people, especially men. Hasn't he had a few blows to the head?
I think with John you can argue they will never admit it (that they are friends) but Carson I see as being different, he is a much more up front kinda character with his emotions. I don't think Rodney would have a choice. Although I do remember in was it "Runner" (?) when
Spoiler:
I guess he just doesn't know which way is up when it comes to personal relationships. But he needs friends or he will go nuts! Again.

Well, actually, Rodney's unconscious from having a direct hit to the face with a Wraith stunner. When he wakes up, he's paralyzed and can't speak. Not much fun for the poor guy.Originally posted by PartyLikeIts1984
Now this is a sleeping Rodney.
From Before I Sleep.
My kind of guy:
