In Written by the Victors, cesperanza quotes Sam Carter as saying, "He was a theoretician, first and foremost, when I met him. [...] But that was before Atlantis; he changed so much in Atlantis. I think for Rodney, Atlantis was where the rubber finally hit the road."

This, I think, is that first moment, the first step from theory to action for Rodney McKay, where it became real. He wasn't a coward -- he was never a coward -- but until this point, his courage had been intellectual, abstract, personal. For quite possibly the first time in his life, McKay had to translate that courage into the physical, the tangible; from self-interest to the greater good. How frightening that must have been, to learn to think outside himself.
