My thoughts on McKay and Misbegotten... oh yeah spoilers.
Spoiler:
Well, this was not an episode I understood or liked, so it was hard to know where to start. So I have gone with commenting now on just two moments.
There wasn't a huge amount in this episode of McKay but we did get two interesting reactions... one was the smile in the meeting room, I personally see this as being out of character but I know others have said it fitted with his place in The Team and his comment about food was self deprecating. I didn't not like that moment; it is always nice to see McKay smile
I just thought it was saying something I didn't believe, that is McKay is really comfortable with these people and especially since it was aimed at Dr Weir, I know McKay has shown respect for her in the past but I still find it odd, and twined with Sheppard's reaction to Dr Weir in her office after his meeting with Woosley I can't help feeling manipulated.
The other scene was the last really, when McKay has to kill The Wraith or as I like to see it do Sheppard's dirty work, I think DH did a wonderful job conveying Rodney's conflict becasue well the script didn't seem to be helping much in that department.
I have never seen Rodney as the poster boy for tolerance or compassion but I have always felt he has morals *deep down* so I was glad we saw a glimmer of them in his looks at Beckett, it didn't matter in the end as he still "obeyed his leader" but at least it was there. I found that immensely comforting in an episode that has made me question my continuing fandom for this show.
