I completely agree with what you say about feeling his emotions. I laugh when he does and cringe when he's embarrassed and get upset when he does. He's such an amazing actor and Rodney McKay is such an amazing character. I'll tell ya, I've not felt this way about a TV character since I fell in love with Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

It actually took me a little while to feel the McKay-love but when I did it really hit me like ten tons of bricks. The definitive moment was in The Defiant One. John says something about parents not teaching their kids to drive and McKay turns to him with a classic Rodney-face and snaps something like 'I am both insulted and touched by that.' I then had my first audible squeeeee moment.

I love his humour and his snark and his lovely face and most of all I love the fact that he's flawed, that he's not perfect. That makes him so attractive to me.
