Goofs

When Jack and Maybourne were looking up the N.I.D. flight data on Simmons, the PC screen shows WA DC TO NORTH DAKOTA at the top, but then on the following leg it shows NORTH DAKOTA TO COLORADO. In the itinerary, the first part gives the DEST as MAFB which is correct for Minot AFB, but then on the following leg it again shows DEST as MAFB when it should be PAFB for Peterson AFB. See more »

Quotes

Dr. Rodney McKay: I wish I didn't find you so attractive. I've always had a real weakness for dumb blondes.
Major Samantha Carter: Go suck a lemon.
Dr. Rodney McKay: Very sexy. Very, very sexy.

Introducing Rodney McKay
30 October 2012 | by See all my reviews

Personally, McKay is my favourite character on Atlantis, so I watched his first appearance as a character with interest.

Mostly, there are a lot of differences between his Atlantis character and the one that shows up in this episode. In Atlantis, he's taken on Carter's role: the scientist responsible for making things happen when guns won't do it. Also, Atlantis pokes around in his personal life: His various illnesses and his sister (whenever McKay's sister shows up, Atlantis has a good episode) show that he has a human side and a heart, despite his obnoxious exterior.

While McKay of SG1 is obnoxious , not much else about him in this episode (at least, that's important) is similar to McKay Atlantis. McKay SG1 is a naysayer who can't be bothered to make anything happen, an chauvinist, and even a little bit stupid scientifically (but that's compared to Carter, of course). The seeds of the later character are there, of course: He IS funny at times, he likes to eat (especially in stressful situations) and is afraid of lemons.

For me, the episode was mostly interesting as a McKay character study. (I'm fascinated by watching characters change.) However, all of the usual SG-1 characters play their roles well, and I enjoyed seeing more of Maybourne in his unofficial "rogue agent" role (much more likable than his official role). While there's not a great deal of character development, the episode advances the plot nicely and is a fun way to spend an evening.
