Steal away!

Ah, Radek. Successfully maintaining his position as second in command to the Great Ego McKay (who is arguably my favorite SGA character) means that Zelenka has to have quite a lot of backbone and personality of his own, which is always a recipe for me liking a character.

I laughed in "McKay and Mrs. Miller" when Jeannie was all disgruntled over Rodney not wanting her to push the button, and Zelenka leaned over to her all conspiratorial-like and said, "He likes to push the button." You just know he's the reason more of McKay's scientific staff haven't bailed on the Daedelus since they got back into contact with Earth; Zelenka knows how to manage him and mitigate his imperious by now. And McKay actually admits he's not a complete idiot, which says a lot about his scientific talent.

I loved his clip in "Letters from Pegasus" when he's going off in Czech and you just know he's talking about Atlantis even though he's not supposed to, and he's so animated about it. I adored the bit in that episode where he got foisted off on the planet of children and came back with rubberbands in his hair and paint on his face, and he was so indignant at Rodney.

He's one of those few TV-show characters that I think might actually be as fun to know in person as they are to watch.
