And see, I don't see much evidence at all for the McKay/Sheppard dynamic. They're teammates, sure, and they care about each other, but I don't see much to tell me that they're friends. They don't hang out together (Shep didn't even list Rodney when he asked Ronon why he only hung out with Shep and Teyla).
But to me, and I know YMMV b/c the entirety of the fandom thinks the other way, Rodney and Carson have been paired as friends from the beginning. They talked about it in countless interviews, how Carson was probably Rodney's best friend but neither of them would admit it. They're on a first name basis when a lot of others aren't, they hang out, etc. The actors get on like a house on fire and to me that translates so easily to the screen - I see a spark there when they banter that I don't see with anyone else. And this is why I stay as far away from SGA fandom as possible these days, b/c everyone's all about the McShep and I pretty much can't stand Sheppard.
April's free insofar as I have no job yet. I need a job! Keep your fingers crossed for that, too.
