Read an excerpt of David Hewlett's interview with The Official Stargate SG1/Atlantis Magazine. 100-page special edition on sale now!


Fast-talking genius Rodney McKay’s time on Atlantis has certainly been eventful – from near-Ascension to losing his best friend, Rodney’s journey has been one of hard-learned lessons. Actor David Hewlett tells us why Rodney isn’t always a genius.


The Official Stargate SG1/Atlantis Magazine: How did you feel last season about McKay developing a relationship that led to a marriage proposal?
David Hewlett: It was neat. That episode was so funny because I came onto the set and was like, “Look, here’s the deal. You have a beautiful botanist on a little tropical paradise on Atlantis and what do I do? Panic? C’mon!” That’s what they are so good at doing with McKay. They put him in situations where anyone else would either enjoy themselves or excel. It’s like Moonlighting. You don’t want those things to work out where there is no tension any more. McKay single is a much more dangerous and entertaining character than when he was comfortable in a relationship. I’m hoping it will be revisited because it was such a final thing for her, and I don’t think McKay has figured it out...
