I just started my own business, and don't get out to the Group as much as I'd like. I think you're right on about McKay. I loved the character when he first appeared in SG1. And was thrilled to see him show up in SGA. DH has done a fantastic job in NOT making McKay "too obnoxious" -- it would have been so easy to "dislike" this character if it were played a different way. Instead, we more than just put up with him too - we like him, appreciate him, forgive his silly arrogance, and genuinely enjoy his existence. I can't imagine SGA without him.
I have to ask though: do you think last week's episode was a bit "too much" with the main bad guy (the name escapes me) giving just SO MUCH insight on McKay's personality and need to "under explain and then over deliver to save the day"? I almost thought the writer's were making fun of the fans and the character. Or that someone on the show 'felt' McKay needed explaining. I wound up really not liking that bit of exchange .. and the look that Sheppard gave McKay during that exchange was odd. Almost like Sheppard was originally the only one who ever could have defined McKay like that. ????
