'''McKay''': Sure you were... [[Star Trek|Kirk!]] }}
* [[Booby Trap]]: The Runner in "Tracker" sets up at least three traps in the woods in order to keep himself from being tracked back to the shelter where he has hidden the wounded young girl he is caring for. After Ronon manages to dodge the second trap, he comments that "[[Worthy Opponent|he's good.]]"
* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: When he is not being a [[Colonel Badass]], Colonel Sheppard prefers to do as little work as possible and describes himself as lazy. Some of the show's funnier moments have been other characters reacting to his quick and often out-of-the-box thinking. In the alternate reality belonging to "Rod" McKay, their Sheppard averts this, being both an active member of Atlantis' [[Useful Notes/Mensa|Mensa]] chapter and resident [[Insufferable Genius]].

* [[Good News, Bad News]]:

* [[Worthy Opponent]]: When Ronon dodges the second [[Booby Trap]] in "Tacker," all he has to say of the Runner he is tracking is "he's good."
* [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]]: Sheppard won't fight back in "Travellers" despite being kidnapped and repeatedly assaulted, despite the fact that as a soldier it is his duty to escape. The reason? His captor is a woman.
* [[Useful Notes/Yanks With Tanks|Yanks With Tanks]]: Though the military forces of Atlantis are composed of soldiers from numerous Earth militaries, their officers and non-commisioned officers come from branches of the US armed forces.
