Oh God, there is so much bad 2nd person out there. In my previous fandom - QAF US - there was this period where second person was totally the bestest new thing ever!!1! and every single writer had to try it. With disastrous consequences. Which is too bad, cause I love it (when done right) - it's more personal than 3rd person, and more detached than first (which I cannot read, ever).
Also, you know I bet Joe totally is crushing on McKay like the rest of us. Damn right! :) Did you see the SGA special thingie spike21posted? There's a short interview there with Joe (and a bigger one with David and Torri and Paul), and Joe's going on about how he and David always goof around, and he sounds so giddy.
Hah, one of my first RL crushes was called Dave, so I associate that name with him first, but yes, I can see him as a Dave. It somehow fits with his laid-back personality.
