Come on, don’t do Zelenka dirty!
I came here to say! Zelenka is the real Miles O’Brian of Atlantis.
Always suffering, always fixing things. Always cursing.
Usually in Russian.
He is Czech! Go try and tell a czech that he speaks russian, I dare you
Atlantis at 100% efficiency: Everyone
Atlantis at 99% Technical efficiency: Just Rodney
Atlantis at 99% Combat efficiency: Just Teyla and Ronon
Atlantis at 98% Combat efficiency: Just Ronon
Atlantis at 99% Flirting efficiency: Just Shepard
Atlantis at 99% Self-Doubt efficiency: Just Beckett

The episode with ronon fighting against the hunters from his planet was fantastic.
Yup. I always appreciated the choreography involved in his combat, and the story writing that allowed it to shine
Too bad Rodney was such a an unlikeable asshole through the entire show.
Don’t like that actor.
Yes ma’am.
Have you seen him in anything else? Because a lot of people just don’t like the character (which is, to some degree, by design)
McKay had an awful lot of character development sitting Atlantis’s run. He was brought into SG-1 to be an unlikeable foil for Carter, the fact you can end up rooting for him a lot of the time says a lot about David Hewlett’s portrayal of him.
Then of course we get Universe and find out what truly unlikeable characters are actually like…
Yeah, so much this. I loved his transformation over the course of the series. He is by far the strongest example of complex character development in the show, possibly the entire franchise
Honestly, does ANYONE get as good character development? The closest ones I can think of are Carter and Daniel Jackson. And they didn’t have to overcome the events of previous shows intentionally making them the “bad guy”
He goes from complety arrogant sexist douche bag know it all that you despise with every Fibre of your being, to a slightly arrogant mildly sexist blunt know it all that you end up getting emotional over. At least I know I did… I straight up told my wife when we get to a certain episode in season 5 (The Shrine) I want her to watch it but I can’t watch it again.
Memory/cognitive decline is a huge fear of mine already and I watched my grandparents decline with alzheimers. I can’t watch it again without losing my shit
David Hewlett is a fantastic actor.
Then of course we get Universe and find out what truly unlikeable characters are actually like…
I’ll bear that in mind!
