And I like fictional assholes. The real ones are - well - assholes.
But Sheppard has pointy ears! He's like an elf! Except for the strange math thing, he's a totally generic grunt. He's a caricature. I see nothing original or particularly interesting in his character at all. He exists solely to be the hero type.
McKay on the other hand - well, it's not often that you get a character that was deliberately created to be annoying as hell (because he was originally an antagonist to SG1) as a cast member. He just amuses me. Greatly. He apparently also amuses the writers, because they pick on him all the time. They'll put him in a rubber suit for an episode then hang him upside down for no reason other than they like torturing David Hewlett.
