Rodney Should Have died.

[Zamboni]

Fourth-ed. Any pron involving McKay and Weir gets my vote

Oh dear... what can of worms have I opened up this time...?

Is there a secret sect of Weir-McKay shipper that I don't know about?

(I thought the only ships were Weir-Shepard related?)

On a completely unrelated note, I was watching SG1 today and saw that replicator chick (the second one that went through after Fran)... She got killed in that episode too... TPTB not only reuse the same actors, but they are killed again and again... Man it's tough to be an SG extra.

[PG15]

Oh, no, McWeir is very much real.

[Pajus]

Turn McKay into a replicator... Then he'll cyber with Fran-Weir-whatever...

Then Keller gets angry and sleeps with Ronan, John, and Teyla.


... At the same time.

That's something I'd pay to see

Well, you're right... and wrong. Your brain (as an organ) does not have the ability to regenerate. What it *does* have, however, is the ability to rewire itself and create new neural pathways around the damaged areas. That's why doctors can never predict with any degree of accuracy exactly how long, or to what an extent any person's brain injury will affect them *individually*.

I should know, I've suffered brain injury and I'm back. Pretty much whole and functioning.

actualy it never said the cells were dead or damaged, just rendered dormant

In other words, his 'IQ' would return, but his memories would remain lost forever. But that doesn't matter much, as in real life, Rodney would probably die from the wound being infected infection (as Keller pointed out)

I cringed when I saw that 'field' surgery. I hope they at least sterilized the drill bit! At least they wore gloves, but there was no sterile field at all. At the very least, the doc should have set up some kind of surgical drapes, etc. I mean, I understand dramatic license, but please...

Another nice thing:

The drills used in drilling machines are made from a steel designated '19552' (in the Czech Republic). Medical drills are made from steel X50CrMoV15 (that might be an international designation). According to the difference in physical properties of the drills and the machines themselves, Rodney's skull should've been crushed to pieces during the 'operation'

[PG15]

I suppose US drills are different then?

[Pajus]

I suppose US drills are different then?

The only difference is in the material's designation. The chemical composition and physical properties are the same

[PG15]

Offworld drills, then?

[Linda06]

Tell that to Beckett, Weir and Ford.

Yes but McKay can't die...Then it won't be the Rodney McKay show anymore

[Zamboni]

Tell that to Beckett, Weir and Ford.

Beckett isn't dead, he's cloned. Weir isn't dead, she's cosmetically changed to a younger, (relatively) better looking version. Lastly, we don't know if Ford is dead or not. For all we know, Ford might have escaped the explosion, crash landed on a near by planet and lost all his memory and was taken in by the local residences.

In fact, I think Ford might come back eventually, saving John by accident...

Or maybe he gets mixed up with Michael and end up becoming a super-super soldier... Or something.

Or maybe he finds Weir in space and decides to rescue her and they fall in love...

[jenks]

Beckett is dead. Stone dead.

[Zamboni]

Beckett is dead. Stone dead.

What are you talking about? Didn't he come back as a clone and saved Dr. Keller?

You crazy.

[jelgate]

But he is not Beckett. Granted he is simiiar but not the same. I imagine all time with Mike changed him

[Zamboni]

But he is not Beckett. Granted he is simiiar but not the same. I imagine all time with Mike changed him

He's a clone. That means a replica. Also, they fixed all the changes Michael made to him, so he is now 100% Beckett.

(Though this Beckett did not physically French kiss McKay, that memory still remains fresh in his mind...)

Spoiler:

Bite your tongue. That Most Hated of Atlantis Ships must never be mentioned at all. Ever. It's the second most nausiating ships in SG-dom, right after Sam'n'Sir.

McKay-Weir is one of the earliest and most prolific pairings in all of Atlantis. It (like all other ships) was eventually overtaken and subsumed by the monolithic titan that is McShep slash fiction.
