Yay!  Time to start.

Synopsis of the Pilot:  When SG-1 discovers what it believes to be the remnants of the Lost City of the Ancients, the originators of the Stargates, Stargate Command launches an investigation. A new team of explorers, headed by civilian Dr. Elizabeth Weir, travels to the distant Pegasus Galaxy, where it discovers an advanced but deserted city on the ocean floor, a group of nomadic humans and a deadly enemy that feeds on humans as an energy source.

I believe they have said that McKay was totally intended as a one-shot when he first appeared. But I think that David is a good actor, funny, pleasant to be around, and funny (LOL), so when they would think of having a similar character on they decided to have him back.

Hey, you can go back in time and read this interview with David in 2008:

I forgot to thank you for the article. I really enjoyed it. David does have a great sense of humor, and I love that he considers himself a geek in real life.

Glad you enjoyed the interview. David has indicated several times that if he weren't on the show he'd just be geeking along just like us. In fact his favorite show when younger was Dr. Who and he's mentioned a couple times that he'd love to play the Doctor.

If you don't mind me spamming you with my old con reports, here is where I reported on that from last August. http://margec01.livejournal.com/32898.html#cutid1

I hardly write in my lj anymore, so this will bring up some of my con reports from Chicago and LA: http://margec01.livejournal.com/
