I thought they'd bring in a *young* guy--you know, the smart, cocky kid with lots of charm
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.

Didn't they do that already, kinda with Weir?
Maybe he could be from another branch of the service that would like a bit more involvement with/benefit from the Stargate program.

I really doubt that he'll be cast as a civilian, or if he is, it'll be as a civilian consultant like Daniel, who can carry weapons. And even then, it's unlikely -- as it is currently structured, SG-1 only has one military member. They won't have the world's premiere first-contact team consist of three civilians and a physicist/soldier.
They *could* cast him as a member of one of the other Armed Forces, some sort of liaison. Or -- and this just occurred to me -- he could be with the NID. The good part of the NID, like Agent Barrett.
I really don't see them taking command away from Sam. Not gonna happen. BB's a couple of years older than AT, and about 8 years older than MS (42 to 34). So either he's a Major, and subordinate, or he's outside the Air Force system altogether.

Dude. I don't want to be looking at Ben Browder, and be overcome by the urge to gag his mouth with a dirty sock, kick him in the nuts until they retract into his abdomen, and drown him in the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
Kinsey makes me twitch. Even the mention of his name fills me with rage. Stupid, one-dimensional cardboard suckass villain not worthy to suck Scorpius' toes.
I mean, it'd make me happy if they gave BB's character ambiguity and shady agenda (as long as they don't make him into a sexist pig who treats Sam like a girl, because then, I'll be force to reach into my TV screen and strangle him to death), but NOT IF THEY MAKE HIM LIKE KINSEY! Ptui!
::twitches::
Uhm, yeah. So, Kinsey wasn't my favorite character, is what I'm sayin'.
Hey, remember how Kinsey got fired? Good times, good times.
t ravings of a lunatic removed.
Nothing to see, moving along.
Hey, remember how Kinsey got fired?
Ohhh, yeah.
t closes eyes to savor the memory

Yeap, except, you know, competent.
