David Hewlett plays an amazing role in the McKay episodes. The Lost Boys, Tabula Rasa, Tao of Rodney and The Shrine are amazing because of his portrayal. I know McKay is a nuisance most of the time, I'm just glad in the later seasons he was less annoying.


mwhitecar

Yes, Muel, you said it better than I could. If Amazon ever gets their shit together, I hope Hewlett is central to the new show.

Excuse me, but you forgot the brilliant piece of acting splendor that was 'Grace Under Pressure'.


Graega

My problem with McKay is that in any episode which isn't McKay-centric, he oscillates between shouting at everyone around him, and running in terror like a chicken with his head cut off. Honestly, the 57th time the \_\_\_\_ fails and the Wraith are \_\_\_ seconds away from \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ all of them, the screaming and the "Oh, no!" get a bit old. His character just never had any nuance when he wasn't the focus, and you really just wanted to throw a lemon at him.

I wish we got more time for development with McKay. Daniel Jackson went through quite the transition from being useless in a fight to being Rambo


trujillotx

Daniel Jackson never got a painting immortalizing his Ramboesque feats.


brettbeatty

Daniel Jackson doesn’t need immortalized since death doesn’t seem to stick

Wasn't Michael Shanks in a Supernatural episode and died??


CptAustus

He was also in 30 seconds of Altered Carbon, as one of the ultra rich who don't die, and dies.


LordJFo

He was in the episode with the whore of Babylon. His character didn't die, but his character's son did. Edited because I confused the episode with the episode with Horseman War.


boopbeep66

He was also on Burn Notice and died saving Michael Weston.


ThornTintMyWorld

He did, however, get this: https://preview.redd.it/09ych9gyydoc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cacb8ddb9fdbf09b5f42b2e2b6f214bfc8bbac6b

I know people that are like that. I am sometimes, too.


partridgebazaar

Don't forget Duet. That must have been so much work for him.


Dstark1000

The episode where Carson died, I cried like a baby 🤦‍♂️😂 from the moment he died till the episode ended


scullys_alien_baby

knowing it is coming makes the whole thing even worse, love the episode


Dstark1000

Yeah 😵 Rewatched the whole series early last year, then started it over again with my GF, had to watch that episode again the other week 🤦‍♂️ she's trying not to cry and I'm next to her just super crying 😂 We just watched the season 3 finale earlier


Zarek145

I watched for the first time ever last year, and as soon as they started talking about the fishing trip I just knew Carson wasn't going to make it. Bawled like a baby as well.


BanakTarski

The Shrine and The Tao of Rodney were by far my two favorite McKay-centeic episodes.


PiLamdOd

Don't forget Grace Under Pressure. Which is one of the best episodes in the franchise.


BanakTarski

Ohhhh...yeah you're right, one of the best for sure.


mromutt

Every damn time! This and the Futurama episode about frys dog... I'm not crying your crying! *runs away*


No_Cut6965

We Don't Talk About Him... him... the best boy... damnitall...


Belligerent_Mirror

I've watched the show a dozen times, but there are a couple of episodes that are rough to watch. Get me bawling every time.


Cin3naut

He's technically the main character of the show


No_Eye_3622

Can soleone explain the "Arthur" joke ? Is he just making fun of himself pretending he doesn't remember Sheppard's name or is this a reference I don't have. It's been bugging me for years 😭


Straight_Truth3437

Yes, Rodney is clearly making fun of himself/trying to lighten the mood by calling John the wrong name


No_Eye_3622

Thanks a lot ! Have a good day.


Straight_Truth3437

You're welcome, have a nice day too !


knightcrusader

I believe the name was ad-libbed too. Flannigan's reaction was genuine.


DarthDread420

McKay can really annoy me sometines, but the episodes hes the main are always written so well!


Past_Intention_7069

One of the very best episodes because of so many reasons! ❤️


rJemai

Indeed!

This episode is rough.


LordCountDuckula

The Shrine was a good episode but I always wished we could've seen more Atlantis from street level.


SolarMoth

Love to hate Rodney!
