Friday's ep of Atlantis (the actual aired ep) convinced me that I wouldn't mind if the whole premise was "Sheppard and McKay bicker." Although I thought the actress playing Weir did a lovely job. She's growing on me.

Is Sheppard the won't shut up guy? Or the annoying darkhaired guy?

I just read on zap2it.com that Enterprise fans are trying to raise $32 million to convince UPN to keep the show on the air.
Yeah, good luck with that.

There were television shows for which I would have stood up and proudly said, "I helped bankroll this venture!" And then there's Enterprise.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Sheppard is the darkhaired guy; Rodney McKay is the won't shut up guy.

Rodney! Okay, yeah. Got it.
Actually I liked Sheppard in the piece of the episode I saw with them fighting the Wraith guy who was lurking in the wrecked ship hull. He only annoyed me later in another episode. So I should keep watching and they'll grow on me? Do you promise?
Also, Katie, I wished you happy in Natter, but in case you don't see it, Happy Birthday!

Isn't Sheppard the one who's all "I am alpha male, hear me pee" and certain that he's right in every instance despite having been tapped for the mission at the last possible second due to his genetics rather than any actual training or accomplishment?

Er, I can't promise. But lots of people really liked these last few episodes...
(And thank you!)
ETA: That's the one, Matt.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think that Shephard's any more convinced of his rightness than the other characters. And I'm sure if his training or accomplishment was insufficient to the task of being in command, someone else would be.

Sheppard was actually an accomplished pilot and Air Force officer before being offered the Atantis gig. He was also hand-picked by Gen. O'Neill.
