So many great posts and so little time to respond to them all individually so I'll take the lazy way out and make a general post instead.
First, shipping for McKay/Weir makes as much sense as shipping for any other pairing, IMO. If you enjoy those two together more than any other possibility then you have every right to want to ship them, especially given the fact that there isn't a canon ship on the show.
I also agree with those who are concerned about how Shep is being written this season. At first, I found the Kirk references amusing... now, not so much. Having him come across as such a flirt and locking lips with so many women in such a short period of time does the character a great disservice, IMO. I can't think of who the target audience is for this kind of Shep because I can't see the shippers, the anti-shippers or the non-shippers embracing this characterization.
If this is the future of Shep, then it may be great news for McKay/Weir shippers because the more Shep is Kirkified (Yikes! I can't believe I typed that!) the less appealing he becomes as ship material, IMO. Although I'm not quite on the McKay/Weir ship board, they do have an appeal that I would like to see explored more.
