It has been stated lately that Rodney is the only reason to watch SGA; this notion is patently false. To combat it, I present to you:
Ten Reasons to Watch Stargate Atlantis (That Have Nothing To Do With Rodney McKay)
1. Teyla Emmagan
Teyla has no caption; Teyla needs no caption. Her badassery is self-evident.
2. Sergeant Charles Campbell
Don't fuck with Chuck. He'll send your ass to the wrong planet, and he won't even feel bad about it.
3. Richard Woolsey
Because he plays well with others.
Maybe a little too well.
4. Christopher Heyerdahl
Because he started out playing this guy:
And ended up playing this guy:
And that makes him a badass.
5. Ronon Dex
I mean. Just.
Picture by
wraithfodder Look! Even his action figure is sexy!
6. Major Evan (probably) Lorne
Lorne is disturbed by this picspam.
You should see what happened to the last fan who snuck up on him.
7. John Sheppard
You may experience a desire to pet him. There is no shame in this.
He does appreciate a warning, however.
8. Elizabeth Weir
Even hot when she is being sad and intense.
And look! She comes with Sheppard and Teyla!*
9. Carson Beckett
Even hot when he's a clone (or... a Chinese peasant? WTF Michael, fire your tailor)
10. Radek Zelenka
He solves problems!
He promotes cooperation!
He saves Rodney's (commingled) ass!
And there you have it. Proof. Empirical proof.
*But she fakes it with Rodney
