I did see that one. I was a bit astonished that he bounced right back from it. I'm up to close to the end of season 3 now, which appears to be where Space (Canadian SciFi) is too.
McKay works as a character (the annoying smart one) in very limited doses for me but his role is getting bigger and bigger and then it's just annoying because there are endless scenes of him being a jerk and also being right so you can't even enjoy a smackdown. I've got to the point where if it's a McKay solo episode I just move onto the next one.
In all honesty, when they're acting as a team, even if a dumb one, I have fun watching the the show as one where pretty people run around fighting. And I really like the Wraith idea even if they seem conveniently easy to beat.
But it's got the Star Trek problem: the script insists they're always right even when they're quite obviously wrong.
