In Defense Of Rodney McKay

Meredith Woerner — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 15:48:00 PDT

It's come to my attention that there is a small band of unhappy Stargate Atlantis fans that are ripping apart my favorite SGA scientist, Rodney McKay and accusing him of being a whining, arrogant jerk.

But click through for the real reasons I love McKay. More »
