I loved McKay in SG1 after his first couple of appearances, but it's like everything I liked but couldn't pt my finger on is gone in SGA. I tried really, really hard in season 1 to still like him, and to like Sheppard, but I couldn't. I think if the show weren't so in love with them and convinced they were flawless and that I'd love everything they do, I could like them more.
I got the first 2 seasons for really cheap(about $33 combined) assumng that the series would be a go since I like SG1 so much, but season 2 will probably have to awe me for me to get past it to seasons 3-4. Really, the only reason I'll likely even be watching it is because of Teyla, and because I'm promised I'll like Ronan. (I'd list Ford as an incentive, but I know what happens to him in vague turns. Conceptually, Weir is just about the best thing ever, but I don't know if the writers just dislike non-military authority or don't know what to do with a woman in charge-given Teyla's relations with her people, I suspect both- but in the end, Weir just makes me kind of sad.)
