trying to figure out when John would call our favorite scientist "Rodney" or "McKay". Out of interest, did you reach a conclusion? As far as I can tell, he uses them pretty interchangeably, leaning towards Rodney when they're together and McKay when referring to him with other people. But that's just a feeling...
That's a good reason for Carter to call him 'John' I guess. I think it's also got to do with her slightly odd situation - Atlantis is still sort of a civilian expedition, which is why they chose a military person with scientific knowledge and experience. So maybe she's just calling everyone by their first names instinctively.
I've friended back, because, well, it's fun! *grin* Sure, that's what you say now... ;)
