Maybe they were trying to hint at the audience's stupidity . "Never underestimate your audience".. but many people in the audience assume things such as his allergy being a joke !
Yeah, my mother never checks things or she says she does but doesn't ... I never trust anything !!! Evil toothpaste !!!!
Is nowhere near as arrogant tor whinny as some other characters ... eg Kavanaugh ! I can't be bothered tolearn his name properly.... !

Like I said before if it was John that had the allergy everyone would just say "OK" and they would break their neck to make sure that he'd be okay.Why did you do such a thing, you mediocre dunces?

It seemed to me that the writers almost wanted you to believe that Rodney is full of crap and just trying to get attention. Just one more way to make Rodney out to be a drama queen even more so than usual and or to be the "Comic Relief".
Just took at the Pegasus Project.Originally posted by fumblesmcstupid View PostSee what I mean....
I bet if anyone OTHER than Rodney said he had an allergy to ANYTHING, EVERYONE would be so careful and considerate of their needs.
What does Rodney get? His friend gives out the one thing that Rodney IS allergic to as a lame joke! with a dash of derision and doubt..Originally posted by fumblesmcstupid View PostLike I said before if it was John that had the allergy everyone would just say "OK" and they would break their neck to make sure that he'd be okay.
Maybe if there was a female writer for the show Rodney would have gotten some sympathy and understanding from his friends and colleagues instead of jokes at his expense. I can't tell you how much I hated Mitchell for that lemon threat!
It was pointed out to me by a friend that all the SGA writers are guys, something I hadn't realized before.
Coincidentally, David Hewlett is allergic to pineapples.sigpic
Sig by ME.

Seriously??
I..I....just because Rodney is a jerk or is rude dosen't diminish the fact that that he has a serious allergy.
"Well this guy is an A-hole so he dosen't deserve to be listened to" or "Well this guy is sooo nice I believe he REALLY *is* allergic to peas, so let's just take him at his word" *eyeroll* that is utter Horse- Hockey.
In life there is no nice guy/A-hole when it comes to injuries or medical conditions..You have an allergy and people believe you. *period* And if they don't.. then *they* are the A-holes regardless of how much of an A-hole you are..
*laughs*
I can just see it...Rodney is in the mess hall and it is morning and someone trips over a chair leg and douses Rodney with the rest of their O.J and Rodney breaks out in blisters and some of the juice goes in his mouth and his throat closes up and is slumped over and is slowly dying...but because he is a jerk.......no one has an epi-pen, cause they don't believe he has an allergy to citrus, just because he is a melodramatic, over the top whining, arrogant jerk........?
"Seriously?"Why did you do such a thing, you mediocre dunces?

Way back in the mists of time (i.e. when I was still at school) I used to know a guy who was violently (read: fatally) allergic to peanuts, even the most minute trace. Carried an epipen at all times in case of anaphylactic shock, had to eat from a short list of safe foods, the works. He was also a despicable, immeasurably unpleasant $%!£ - but that doesn't mean we didn't respect the fact that a foodstuff could kill him or wouldn't have helped him in an emergency. We didn't even treat his allergy as anything other than deadly serious, no matter how much of a [insert severe profanity or profanities of choice] he was. Believe me, if he and McKay were side by side, Rodney would be like a saint in comparison.
Now, I appreciate that boarding school and Pegasus are very different locations with very different populations. One is an incredibly hostile environment filled with antagonistic personalities, hardships and misery, the other's the Pegasus galaxy..
