Can I just say that having a character named Jack Sheppard is very confusing for this Stargate watching person?
Oh, I'm right there with you. I'm just hoping he will go by his first name about 99% of the time, 'cause the Sheppard name so belongs to Atlantis-John already.
And how come every "hero-type-guy" has to be named John and/or Jack? Is there a rule or something?

I think it's the fact the name John is so common. Maybe it's part "everyman-hero" and maybe even part JFK.
I think we need a new raft of heroes named Delbert. Marvin will do, in a pinch. All the heroines need to be named Hepzibah and Inez.
Mehitabel. I always wanted a pair of sister cats named Hepzibah and Mehitabel, but I'll sacrifice the names to better teevee.

When I had a roach in my apartment that wouldn't leave but was always too quick for me to stomp on it, I named it Archy.
ITA at the SG confusion. It's bad enough there is a Charlie on the island while Matthew Fox is named Jack.
I've decided 75% of TV series have a Jack as the hero and a Daniel/Danny/Dan as the sidekick. Lots of Sams there, too, of both sexes. I laughed and laughed when I started watching Without A Trace, and realized there were a Jack, a Danny and a Sam in the team, and Jack and Sam had a thing.

I suppose so, and I do like the name. Very much so. I would just like a bit more of an originality to the different characters on all these shows, just to keep them seperate from each other. Chrichton's always been Chrichton to me, never John. Already feel the same way with Sheppard (the Atlantis one) too.
I actually hadn't remembered that Aquarium's Sheppard was a John. I was thinking of Jack O'Neil and Sheppard.
Oh, and watching Desperate Housewives makes me think that what Lost is missing is a Scary Little Girl .
