The difference on SGA though is that the writers WRITE for DH/Mckay. They give him everything. Sometimes to the detriment of the other characters.Although..I know more about Teyla and Weir than I know about Shep. I know very very little about Shep. But I get so much from him becaues of Joe. That's great acting. To get so little. He's given NOTHING fromt he writers to tell us who Shep is. Not a thing. So everything we get, and All my emotional buttons are hit by ShEP and I'm totally invested in SHEP..come from Joe.
Sheppard, as written, is a one dimensional, cardboard cut out. But from Joe I've seen the man Sheppard is. The guy that's vulnerable. That has guilt. That is passionate. That follows through. The man that cares about the people in Atlantis. The man that's more than a glib line. The man that can shoot Kolya without blinking after killing off all those Genii then Run up to Weir and apologize for what he did and ask if she's all right.
The guy that can figure out the thing in BROTHERHOOD but about shook with relief when he didnt' die. THAT all comes from Joe. All those moments in HOME. The cute dorkiness with Chaya. The guy that says one thing but when you look in his eyes he's thinking something else. Feeling something else.
None of that is written out or given or explained to us the way we get it all for/with Rodney. Joe is the one giving us that. And I love it.
