I mean, Rodney can be just as abrasive and he gets by ok.
Yup. I've always thought it was interesting because Rodney's essentially the asshole that they know and Kavanagh's the asshole that they don't. Once you have a more personal relationship with someone, you tend to see them differently. Kavanagh totally calls it when he says he's a suspect because they don't like him. Uh-huh.
I like SGA precisely because the characters seem so flawed and human. They're under enormous pressure and they screw up. Often. They make bad judgments. Like real people.
