The kid did a good Jack.

Michael Welch, who played mini-Jack, is reputedly a very good mimic. I remember reading an interview where he said he just watched a few hours of SG to catch RDA's mannerisms, then boom, he nailed it, easy as pie. I liked him a lot as mini-Jack, and now, I kind of love him, after 2 years of watching him grow and turn in fabulous performances in Joan of Arcadia. The kid is a wonderful actor, equally adept at heavy drama as he is at comedy.

The projected Jack-lite season sounds like it would be an ideal time to bring mini-Jack back, but I guess it'll depend on Welch's availability. It'll be funny to see him back in the role, because he grew, like, a foot taller in the last two years.

Ahhhh, good for him with the having of a successful series. I haven't yet watched JoA, but I'm glad to hear that. Michael Welch. I like. But, yeah, availability would be a thing, I guess. Ah, well.

That would be very entertaining.

Yeap, except, you know, competent.

Was Barrett incompetent? I misremember. I like the idea of him being at odds with the oh-so-insular SG-1/General Jack clique. And then some reluctant respect building. But with lots of snark.

I kind of like snark. It's a thing.

Was Barrett incompetent?

Not so much in that earlier episode with Sam, the title of which I forget, but in that episode MS wrote and AT directed? With the girl-Goa'uld in the cage and the evil scientist and stuff? He was pathetic. Like, the worst interrogator, ever. I was all, "If I had a cat, my cat would be a better interrogator than Agent McTwirlypants over there." Maybe it wasn't his fault, because that episode sucked in general (no offense to MS or AT, but kids, don't quit your day job.)

I like the *idea* of a character like that though, except a little darker. Barrett gave good snark and had some sparkage with Sam, but he was kind of a lightweight.

With the girl-Goa'uld in the cage and the evil scientist and stuff?

I think I'd purged my memory of that episode, it was so bad. S7? right? oy.

aren't we kind of forgetting one thing? AT is pregnant. she may not be available to be in command. hence Browder. food for thought.

I like SG1, but i haven't seen a full episode all season. not because i didn't want to, but because i never remember when it is on.

here's hoping we get a meta response to the Shanks/Browder history.

I think the best part of the squee has been the Farscape people saying "crap, does this mean I have to watch Stargate now?"

::snerk:: That would be me.

It's very cute. I'm tempted to write up a Stargate For Farscape Fans primer

And that, too, would be me, appreciating the hell out of it.

I'm pretty sure AT is due before filming starts again -- so there won't be that visual obstacle. But who knows who will sign up and who won't.

And that, too, would be me, appreciating the hell out of it.

Hee. I'll think about it--maybe I'll just post it here at first.

Katie, didn't you post a list of Mandatory Episodes for K at some point?
