Rodney McKay and John Sheppard being an iconic duo

i hope you enjoy!!
as always feel free to suggest any video ideas you want me to make about any syfy show such as stargate, torchwood, doctor who etc..!
like for part 2!! (part 2+3 have now been made)

[@poochyenajones1362]

I like how SG-1 and SGA handled their respective main cast duo composed of "a soldier" and "a scientist" by making them both similar and different at the same time. Daniel and O'Neill bonded over the fact that their personalities are pretty much polar opposites and they complimented each other like that. While, Rodney and John, despite having different roles in the team, are similar in their dorkiness, like they're on the same wavelength.

[@Turk3YbAstEr]

they're both geniuses and idiots at the same time

[@lauragraves4342]

[@Miss_Missing]

100% correct Daniel and Jack need each other to balance their extremes John and Rodney need each other to affirm and enhance their extremes I don't think John and Rodney would be themselves without each other

And how John for some inexplicable reason just liked him from the start, which probably didn't happen often to Rodney. You can tell their friendship meant a lot to him.

[@MortalDeathGaming]

[@qgqsrg1]

@@strawberrylotlizard shepard's actor didn't even watch sg-1 before starting Atlantis, one reason being that he feared he would try and copy Jack and his relationship with Daniel.

[@WouldntULikeToKnow.]

@@strawberrylotlizard I don't see that many similarities between the two relationships. O'Neill mostly ignores the science-y/nerdy aspects of being on a gate team while Sheppard is unashamedly a nerd, talking scifi with Rodney. Yeah, they both bicker but Sheppard and McKay have more interests in common. Just my 2 cents though.

[@danielk5780]

That episode was the moment you knew that that Rodney McKay was not the same one from SG1.

[@Miss_Missing]

@@WouldntULikeToKnow. I agree with you that they have more interests I'm common, John is a nerd. He makes Sci fi jokes (star wars and star trek) and knows (somewhat) the different catwomen actresses he also loves back to the future John could've been in mensa. We see him solve problems, not just maths but strategic as well, In fact, John is something of a tactical genius, his intelligence can keep pace with Rodney. There is an entire episode dedicated to John and Rodney fighting in some sort of video game role playing dnd (I know it isn't dnd that's just the easiest way to quantify the geek level going on). When Rodney is in Grace Under Pressure, John starts up a project with a group of scientists to save Rodney, considering he takes charge I'd say that some brain in his head, However, we nearly never see John behave this way in mckay-free situations. Rodney freed John's geekiness, making him a more complete and happy person. Fact.

@@MortalDeathGaming Season 2 of SGU was pretty good as they figured out how to edit and film that format. It felt a bit closer to a high budget SGA. Perhaps it would have been more successful if they still had the 25 mins per episode constraint.

[@MortalDeathGaming]

@@everybodyisanidiot4553 what do you mean 25 mins per episode all Stargate stuff has been the 40-42 minute mark for hour long show and ehhhh sorry to disagree but Universe just wasn't great for me not many memorable characters in a pretty bland boring story. Voyager had a similar premise but there was a part of that i liked. Their journey to get home but SGU just felt empty and lifeless for the most part. Some nice moments and relatively good idea but poorly executed imo

[@everybodyisanidiot4553]

@@MortalDeathGaming Just made a double check... it is 40mins, i may be thinking of another sci-fi show. SGU ended right when it was getting interesting but yeah i understand if the first season was too agonizing to watch you wouldn't care too much about the characters in the second season.

[@JoshSweetvale]

At the beginning of Season 2 Sheppart _utterly_ loses faith in Rodney when his hubris (and Shep vouching for him) nearly got them AND the Daedalus killed. It's kinda bittersweet seeing their sibling routine in S1 because the writers kept that distrust streak up. While it eventually fades into sass back and forth, they can't grin at cool things together anymore.

[@Miss_Missing]

In my opinion, I disagree, I wouldn't say John utterly loses faith, We see in trinity (I really hate that episode), that John understands what Rodney is doing, he's seen it before, even in the middle of Rodney making his mistake John connects with him on an emotional level, something he struggles and is uncomfortable with, he saves Rodney and is less angry afterward than is awkward, Rodney makes a sincere apology and John, while still acknowledging Rodney's mistake, accepts with a smile saying he's sure Rodney will earn that faith back, That sureness in and of itself proves John hasn't lost all faith in Rodney, he still believes in him, In critical mass (I think, the one where they find the orion), we see a bitter return to the blowing up a solar system thing at the start of the episode and what we originally interpret as John isolating Rodney, but whenever McKay isn't in the room and they're flirting with imminent death, John shows HUGE faith in Rodney, he baits Rodney into working harder and harder because he knows Rodney can do it and trusts him blindly, Rodney delivers, enforcing the restored trust. Then, in Doppelganger, we see John nearly kill himself trying to save Rodney knowing it's impossible at the time to save them both. In effect committing suicide so Rodney won't die an awful death. We see nightmare John taunt Rodney into hopelessness, real John telling Rodney not to listen, we also see John's worst nightmare, not everyone dying/him failing everyone which would be similar to Ronon's dream, but Rodney dying and never coming back, his evil twin taunts him with this, John's worst nightmare. The others in the dream say John isn't a good friend showing that however unspokenly, John sees Rodney as his friend, and a damned good one, considering losing Rodney was the nightmare the entity chose to torture him with. We even see John talk a man into killing himself to save Rodney. There are LOTS of other examples. But I have a feeling this is already very long. Just decided this mission to affirm your faith in Rodney and John was worth it. In my opinion, they get closer after recovering from trinity. Have a nice, Atlantisy, day.
