So How Did I Miss This?

[thegrrrl2002]

There's an audio interview with David Hewlett up at Gateworld, orginally posted back in June. There's a transcript, but I definitely recommend listening to the audio version. He's quite funny, and just as adorable as Rodney is. Imagine that. Sounds like he's having a great time on the show.

A snippet:

When asked about his fellow cast members:

And Joe has this fantastic leading-man look, leading-man looks -- which I don't think is natural. I'm giving him tips on that stuff.

Hee! So cute.

Re: Hate McKay? WTF?

Hey, given that Sheppard shot him once already on the show itself (even if it was just because they were having fun playing with his invulnerability), you're good to go canon-wise. And oh how I wish they'd shown us that conversation on the show...

I don't know why he would think people love to hate McKay. I mean, sure, in the first ep he was in on Stargate, only a few precocious people even liked him (I hated him), but after Redemption he had, er, redeemed himself and was great. Sure, he's not the hero in the traditional sense, and he has a bit of a tendency to freak out and complain - but his neuroses are what make him a great and interesting character!

Then again, I laughed hysterically whenever Q showed up to bug Picard/the Enterprise as well ("Eat any good books lately?" to Worf may be his best line ever). So, in a sense, I enjoyed the Q/Picard snark that happened once or twice a year, but now can enjoy a somewhat similar snark between McKay and Sheppard in every ep. Wahoo!
