RVCap Stargate Atlantis Brainstorm McKay Asking Her Out

[@KEVMAN7987]

It was nice watching Rodney grow from a rude pervert on SG-1 obsessing over Carter to a genuinely good guy that awkwardly courts Keller.

[@kurtsnyder4752]

Hadda downvot for the pervert word. Proobabaly jerk, asshole, even tho that IS extreme for this context. More like M*A*S*H's early Charles Emerson Winchester III. Has his own persnickety ways of doing things and dealing with people( admittedly badly). Can't help thinking some of the writers on The Big Bang Theory may have seen SGA and taken some notes about this "courting" for the Penny and Hoffstader relationship. Of course Rodney is a bit, umm, more than a bit like Sheldon in even the mannerisms.

[@ysgramornorris2452]

That's the thing, I don't remember _seeing_ the change. He was introduced in SG1 as an insufferable, grossly misogynistic jerk, and then brought back as a regular in Atlantis, suddenly much more likable and nicer to women. Whatever character development he went through happened offscreen.

[@soukupojob]

​@@ysgramornorris2452 if I recall this possitive change king of happened still during SG-1 time. After he was reassigned and returned for exploding gate problem. He was still a** but reconciled with Carter and told her he admired her.

[@Meodread]

@@ysgramornorris2452 I think it was Carter just being smarter than him. I think the realization that there were people who could show him up and that they could be female was a shock to the system. Didn't cure the ass part and didn't stop him from evaluating his intellect as exceedingly high. But it seems to have righted one of his preconceptions.

[@pioneer_1148]

@@ysgramornorris2452 The writers for sg1 initially planned for a new character rather than McKay which probably explains the discrepancy. Also you want your characters to have at least some redeeming features.

[@deanlawson6880]

I was so glad to see "Kaylee" (Jewel Staite) show up as doctor in Atlantis. This is a good scene with her and McKay. Nice.

[@carolinehirst4921]

She was so fit back then.

[@LSgrimm91]

Rodney can be an arrogant twit but he still deals with his own low self esteem and you can tell in 1:32 that Keller is sympathetic to that. Let's be honest, she was really the guiding force in the relationship. Rodney didn't pick up on all her flirting in 'Trio' until she verbally slapped him with a "Boy, take me out for a damn drink!" I love Ronan but it's nice to see the geek get the girl. It was a good milestone in Rodney's evolution as a character.

[@kurtsnyder4752]

See the way he's sitting? He's loosened up from the first eps with the ramrod straightbacked posture.

[@ApolloXL5]

Sheppard "Do you think he will ever make his move?" Ronon "Who cares?" Sheppard cares. :)

[@alexanderzack3720]

that´s the thing ronon cared.... he had a thing for her as well. he and rodney somewhat competed for her affections. i just don´t remember anymore if he confessed and got rejected or decided on his own that keller was into rodney and backed off

[@JensAnderssonofthetauri]

@@alexanderzack3720 there was a scene where he asked her to dinner and keller shot him down and then he backed off saying he just meant as friends

[@Roguefem76]

Yes, Ronan was just salty because she wasn't into him. 😆

[@Fenixias]

Ronon's "Who cares" is just gold xD

[@andrewthorne3570]

Where do the SGC find all these cute doctors? Fraiser, Lam, Keller and although Johansen on Destiny wasn't officailly a doctor she was still the chief medical officer and still cute

Don't forget Beckett, the cutest of them all

[@kurtsnyder4752]

"Cute" is for girls. GORGEOUS is for these women.

[@TheMelbournelad]

Canadian actress pool

[@spudhead169]

Because they're actresses. Typically, women who want to pursue an acting career don't get very far unless they're attractive as that's a significant factor when casting. Roles that call for plainer looking individuals are few and far between. This leaves regular looking women with great difficulty building a resumé. Haven't you ever noticed in movies and TV when a character is supposed to be ugly, that the actress playing the part is not in any shape or form ugly? That's because they simply couldn't find an experienced actress who is.

[@simonbelanger3923]

McKay giving her kicked puppy eyes, that's how I asked my late wife out too..

[@ZimCrusher]

Love that he found some redemption after Dr. Katie Brown (who loved him, even with all his flaws). That was such a sad, and stupid breakup. But... on the other hand, I would have liked to see Ronan and Keller together.

[@philipchiu9835]

I can't remember how many times I asked a woman out and got rejected, but when a woman finally says yes, I don't know what to do lol. I'm a total blank.

[@nuguns3766]

Used to fighting or something your way into a connection It's scary to feel you're accepted when so many told you otherwise.

SG-1 takes place on Earth/in the milky way. SG: Atlantis takes place in a neighboring galaxy, SG; Universe takes place on a ship that travels between various galaxies. They have various crossovers.

They have strict protocols against banging other colleagues in all such things and this would've been grounds for immediate dismissal for both from the mission in reality

@@SportyMabamba These guys are but I just realized they're not technically in the military and don't have ranks and they're considered civilian contractors as such and probably this doesn't apply to them so they can bang away. It would apply to Col Sheperd

That is actually what prevented an O'Neill + Carter relationship, they only happened in alternate realities where Carter was not in the military. These two are civilians so yeah, have fun. Besides they are in another galaxy who cares? Nobody cared about Geneva convention and such for example.

Honestly I don't think either was a great fit. But Ronan did not fit really at all. Keller is too pacifist, too healer, too not fitting with Ronan lol.

[@BlackDiamond2718]

Well Rodney is more of a soft and quiet personality, well if you take away the ego which has been improved. They are great together and you can tell because of how vulnerable he acts.
