Right, but he's been with the show for years. I figured the CN situation was more similar (though BB's written successfully for TV before.)
MS also wrote an episode last year, but frankly, as a writer he's very pretty.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

so I say we just call it a casting info we can talk about without white-fonting and be done with it. Yeah? 'Cause talking around it is going to be annoying. And coy.
Yeah, okay.
Hey, everyone! Ben Browder is becoming a regular cast member of Stargate SG-1!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
That's just... neat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Judge and Shanks had the familiarity with the show, and not with the art. I think that BB's actual resume should help -- but how soon? In S9?

BB did say at con that he'd been doing a lot of writing, in between mowing the lawn and folding laundry and whatnot.
And, apparently, hanging out with the Stargate guys.
Apparently the Gateworld forums are in a tizzy -- there's all these people terrified BB's character will replace Jack. Which is so never gonna happen.

Woo-hoo!
I don't know what kind of role they'll write for him, but it's gonna be difficult to look at him on screen and not expect Crichton-ish behavior. Especially if they put him in a figure-hugging black T-shirt with a weapon.
When they were talking about the fourth member of the team, I thought they'd bring in a *young* guy--you know, the smart, cocky kid with lots of charm, not much experience, yada yada, like Ford at Atlantis or S1 Danny in Spooks. Browder's in the same age group as MS and AT, so I'm curious to see how the power dynamic would play out. I mean, I assume they'd give Sam the command, and BB would probably come in as a military guy slightly below her rank--a Lieutenant maybe. Or he could be a civilian with some extraordinary ability, asked to join the team, but somehow I doubt that.

If they take command away from Sam, I'll be Very Pissy.
Man, I'm not even ready to speculate. My head's still spinning.

That's what I thought when my friend auditioned. But a genre draw is not to be sneezed at.
Maybe BB can be from the Secret Service, or some other govt section where he gets weapons and tactics, but isn't in the strict military hierarchy, and therefore can't outrank Sam. Or maybe, from a different country?
Or, maybe he's the new Fraiser.

This would make me happy. Mainly because I can't quite see BB as the junior officer, but I'm totally with Katie in DON'T YOU DARE TAKE COMMAND AWAY FROM SAM! camp.

I'd love for him to come in as a disapproving government antagonist of the Ronny Cox mold, someone who has to be convinced that the SG-1 program is in the right hands. I bet Browder could do sanctimonious Southern politician extremely well.
