      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
