McKay & Mitchell Lemon Scene

Col. Sheppard from Atlantis gives Col. Mitchell from SG-1 some advice on how to deal with Rodney McKay.

[@lwvmobile]

I love how the lemon gag goes all the way back to when Rodney was a one time character on SG-1 to be the thorn in Carter's side. Funny, the same episode also featured both Q and The Doctor. Just goes to show how much the writers of SG valued character growth as both Woolsey and McKay were written to be bad characters and grew to be invaluable cast members.

[@kreigguardsman3355]

Who was the The Doctor

[@lwvmobile]

@@kreigguardsman3355 Robert Picardo, who plays Woolsey in SG-1 and Atlantis. He plays the EMH in Voyager. I just realized I should have been more specific when saying 'The Doctor'.

[@keithtorgersen9664]

@lwvmobile, a random thing, but the actress who played Osiris had a small part in the Ralph Eggleston run of Doctor Who. It was in the episode first featuring The Daleks in the revamped version.

[@jerradwilson]

@@lwvmobile He also plays the voice of the taxi cab driver in Total Recall.

Anytime I see Ben Browder I am reminded what a crime it was that he was not cast as Kirk in the new Star Trek movies.

[@SapphireCrusader1988]

Oh, that would have been glorious!

[@nicholasmaude6906]

I never thought of that but now that you mention Ben Prowder would make a great Kirk.

[@BeansAndWeens]

you mean john crichton right?

[@senseweaver01]

@*Heretic Yeah, that's fair haha

[@RationalEgoism]

In the episode "200", he plays Kirk for a few seconds in their TOS parody.

[@Lightingwarrior]

Mitchell's got a Lemon and he knows how to use it

[@Asertix357]

Everytime I see this scene it freaks me out. Mitchell and Sheppard are so much alike it's very similar to watching a scene digitally altered to show one guy playing twins and having them interact with each other.

[@Butler195]

The producers of Atlantis originally wanted Browder to play Sheppard but he was filming peace keeper wars and had to turn them down.

[@SolusDarkcoat]

it's called a stereotype; Aka sorta funny male protagonist with no personality

[@notforsaletoday1895]

@@The360MlgNoscoper Indeed. Key word being “knock off”. And not the good sort of knock off where it’s just as good as the original. Nah. Diminishing returns. Though I should say, Mitchel and John are good characters. I just think O’Neill is better.

[@Morpheus-pt3wq]

I like how McKay character went from "meh" in SG-1 to "wholesome" in SGA.

[@danieldickson8591]

Rodney's a lot of things, but I'd never characterize him as "wholesome." "Lovable pain in the ass" is as far as I'd go. 😉

[@MikMoen]

Having a severe allergy to something is no joke. If Mitchell squeezed and lemon juice got onto McKay's face, it's game over.

[@pawelinho6369]

It's best to get the stick out of your butt because it's definitely been in it for too long. That's my O'Neill like answer with two L, not one L (with one is someone other). Oh btw I have allergy (dog hair and other like crossbow or somenthing like that), but I can laugh at such scenes and have a distance to it that you don't have.

[@purplefood1]

@@pawelinho6369 Sorry you're allergic to crossbows?

[@ChrisTian-ed8ol]

I get it. I have allergies myself, and I read a dubbed comic from Etra Chan Saw It (YT channel) where both a wife and husband had allergies. The wife would always complain about her allergies to her husband, who always respected her, until one day he accidentally gives her a cake that was mixed with citrus. Her allergy kicked in, she wasn't going to die, but her Psycho narcissism was shown the next day where she blames her husband and nearly kills him with his severe allergy to soba noodles. Needles to say, she got arrested for attempted murder.

[@jebes909090]

As someone with no allergies, you allergy folk better watch your back

[@tmofee]

The theory is that it’s all in his head. In a parallel timeline during the s8 ending two parter he’s happily eating lemon chicken.

[@hairydadder1168]

I so badly wish we had more Mitchell and Sheppard together!!!!!

[@55Quirll]

Too bad they didn't have SG1 run for another 10 years with Ben Browder taking the lead role. It would have been glorious

[@danieldickson8591]

The two characters were created to serve similar roles in their series, so it's no surprise they get along.

[@TheBeatles193]

"Have you packed your bags?" "Hmm? Oh yes..." Cute! Rodney is like a kid sometimes!

[@ultramegaman555]

Pure perfection regarding character development, usage of character history and crossover "momentum" to create this one of many gems

[@FiveMinuteTrash]

Mitchell and Sheppard share a brain cell and I love it

[@CoolsBreeze]

They should do a Mitchell and Shepperd episode if and when Stargate comes back. I mean Ronon and Tealc got one.

[@nathanielhill8156]

Amazon just bought stargate's recording studio, MGM so there's hope again. Now we just need to bug Bezos into recording more Stargate for Amazon prime video

[@thegrimmretails3777]

I actually wrote a script for such an episode but it wasn't "suitable for television" and the cast now has a restraining order against me.

[@laxxla]

Sheppard & Mitchell = the perfect team lol! Thanks for posting, I love these bits!

[@yordanzh7618]

Oh, God, I miss SG-1 and Atlantis... It's all in the writing and the acting, folks... it just so happens that these two things are hard to replicate... Heh, "replicate"..

[@rosewhip889]

I see what you did there, sir.

[@Elitesolider1023]

I really miss old scfi they had everything why does everything good come to a bad end after so long.

[@AdeptKing]

I always feel bad for McKay when the rest of the cast gang up on him even though he sort of brings it upon himself sometimes.

[@estellemelodimitchell8259]

I didn’t realise that Col. Mitchell had appeared on SGA. It would have been nice to see him kick some Wraith asses

[@SigalDa]

It was episode on sg1 that sheperd and its time was on.

[@wolflover654]

haha. that's funny. I love mitchell when he threatens Mckay with the lemon.

[@TytonidaeIndustries]

he reminds me a lot of tealc in this scene, guess he took some lessons in Jaffa interrogation techniques =P

[@Zurreentaj]

Thanks so much! I had a feeling that it might be an SG-1, and not an SGA episode. I knew that David Hewlett had appeared in a few (4, I think) SG-1 episodes; but I didn't know that Joe Flannigan appeared in some as well. So I wasn't sure. Thanks so much again. I really appreciated your prompt response. :)

[@lewanbroski504]

@@alcatraz7369 I'm just thankful they where in a scene together

[@Domihork]

Well... They couldn't really have them together for too long. Since they were basically the same character, but we were supposed to think they're different. Keeping them together would make it too obvious.

[@PKBitchGirl]

Given that its McKay its highly likely that he's exaggerating the severity of his allergy

[@stantondinger5836]

hmm glad I got what the title was but only because I watched the series and knew about McKay's allergy to Citrus otherwise I would have though there was a character called Mitchell Lemon.

Great scene! Thanks for share :-)

[@hoplite1218]

I hate it how they make carter right all the damn time no one in life is that perfect and good everything it just doesnt happen

[@Gambit771]

+Hoplite121 Yep. Suddenly Mckay goes from being right to always being wrong when she turns up. But as anyone whoes seen the first series of SG1 and the time travel episode from the later series knows exactly why she's always right and its down to a certain trope we have to suffer through

[@ze_rubenator]

I think it's due to the fact that his brain stops functioning properly when she's nearby.

[@stars9084]

But he's not wrong here. What he said was correct, but later he found a way around the problem, Sam didn't correct him.

[@hellcat1988]

Sam is wrong on a number of occasions. She just usually manages to work around the problem or find her way to the solution that had been eluding her. Look at the time dilation problem. Took her YEARS to work that out. Also, Mckay says a LOT of stuff is impossible right before he does it or it happens to him. He's wrong A LOT.

[@GermanLeftist]

McKay once said that impossible for him means that it'll only take him longer to find a solution.

For some reason I wonder if the actor is allergic to citrus, or was that some writer's silliness.

[@PKBitchGirl]

I asked David at a convention if McKay was exaggerating the severity of his allergy and he said in real life he's allergic to pineapple himself He said as a kid he'd eat a slice or two and him and his family would laugh at his lips swelling up He said when he left home for the first time he decided to eat a whole pineapple, he ended up in hospital

[@myfirstnamemylastname1395]

I didn't remember this.Is this the only episode where they talk about McKay's allergy to lemon? Because it would be lame. And I'm a Stargate fan.

[@hcostel2]

tyreck palmer they actually talk about his citrus allergy every time he's on sg-1

[@KatKaleen]

His citrus allergy's well known. It was mentioned in several episodes of SGA and even caused a very admitted fan to have a truckload of fake lemons dumped in the parking lot of one of the producers after SGA got cancellled... WE STILL WANT THE SGA MOVIE!

[@atlachanacha]

It's very well established that McKay is allergic to lemons, I think even the first time he was introduced he asks whether food has citrus or not, due to his allergies (later on the episode Carter gets annoyed by him, and tells him to "go suck a lemon".

[@CJMusicNZ]

The first episode he appears in on SG1 while in the cafeteria he asks if their is lemon on the chicken. He makes a similar at the end of SGA Rising. He states it again in season 2 Duet, its became I known fact that McKays is allergic to citrus. It is the first mention of a lemon actually being carried around on missions though (at least from what I remember).

[@KageNoTenshi]

Naël Dls he said it since his first appearance in sg1

[@hellcat1988]

This would have been more amusing if they actually stuck to that in the series.

[@supervegito2277]

I do see the funny part in it, im just saying the title would fit under tvtropes for unfortunate complications... and your post didnt help in that aspect which is true... i dont think you know how depraved the internet can be. cracked (humor site) has a list, or 2, about freaky fanfiction pairings... one of them is professor snape banging the teletubbies...

Yeah... threatening to kill someone as a form of "motivation" to perform = Hallmarks that any "hero" should aspire too and not something that Stargate would make villains do. Trying to be funny and instead coming across as petty, vindictive and a bully. Rodney might be a dick but threatening to poison / murder him is a bit extreme.

McKay probably exaggerates the severity of his allergy, he overreacted to a minor injury on his finger after all
