I especially love Rodney McKay as a brilliant scientist, because unlike Carter he actually has some flaws. While Carter seems even more intelligent than he is, she is also wise, ALWAYS patient and nice and likable, looks hot, has good physical and combat skills... and over the SG-1 series she doesn't loose any of that but actually gains extra superpowers like detecting goauld. In other words: While Carter is just too good to be true, McKay feels like a real person. But I agree with you that the angry-part was a bit exagerated in this episodes. Anyway, for me McKay is for Atlantis what O'Neill was for SG-1, without him the whole series would loose it's center.
