Absolutely correct, the Cinema-O´Neil was nothing that could have worked for more then a few films before the character would have been just tooo raw to anchor deeper storys on him. What RDA and the people behind the camera made out of him was a human beeing and not one of the last examples of a 1980´s like super hard ass hero-figure. The original was too much John McClane (not that it don´t like Die Hard, in fact i love it, but it´s just not tv-show material). RDA´s version had options to evolve the character and he did, he learned, he made mistakes, and he was able to do something i wouldn´t think the original version would have been able to: Play safe and get the hell out when there came too many signs into existence that a situation will go downside. How many times did they stop a mission to come back at a later date with the right tools to do the job? In short: RDA gave O`Neill a soul, Kurt Russels version was nice for a film, but in retrospective it was nothing short of a deeply flawed and short lived prototype.

@@joesheridan95 indeed. We really love them, don't we? I miss those guys. There is nothing like them anymore.

@@ancientearth2250 Yeah, there aren´t so many characters out there anymore that were build up like that by their actors. I really hope this comes back someday. Hopefully even with a new stargate-show. RDA is too old now, but there are a lot of known figures with the potential to become good successors to his O`Neill, damn i would even like to get Ben Browder / Mitchell back since i rewatched the whole show. Yes, he was no O`Neill, Sheppard was much closer to him, but he did a good job. He wasn´t a copy of an old Character, but his own new thing and that has to be when it has to work out in a good way.

@@joesheridan95 You could even explain it as he started using humor as a coping mechanism after being so depressed after losing his son, and it kinda stuck.

@@zeehero7280 That's a very good point. Really. That was a character changing event and that point could explain the character shift in the time between him commimg back the first time and the start of the show. He had time to think about his son, his wife was gone and he had seen how petty us humans are and that the world was to complicated for his raw handling from before. 2-3 years are enough time to have a shift in you character i think.

No see, Daniel was right to be pissed. You don't move artifacts from a dig site until WHERE, or more importantly where in relation to other artifacts, they were found has been catalogued.

No see, soldiers don't know much about the proceedings of an archeological dig or their significance. Good ol Jack was just trying to keep the poor boy from breaking down. They didn't know Daniel!

When I watched that episode, I had to go to mine as well *shudders* it's like they enjoy taunting archaeologist's at times lol

@RubiiX not to mention you don't know what kind of artifacts are the "you touchy you splodey" kind, or the kind that will warp your DNA or cause permanent random intermittent eyelid twitching...

Yes - Priceless is exactly right! LOLOL.

Aww she's so dame hot good choice jack

He's not wrong...

I love Jack's "Following you, still not." 🤣🤣🤣

In deed.

LoganHunter82 Channeling his inner Yoda. ;-)

One of my favorites ❤

Yes but it also helps that they are all friends so they all feel comfortable round each other to be playfully cheeky round the other lol

true.

Not like Jack or Sam being in the military pay taxes or anything

Actually they are good friends and Daniel has saved Jack multiple times

If Daniel is paid by the military, he's paid by tax dollars too

Indeed

rtyerh trjrje Well, he's got a nice one. ;-)

I genuinely loved the few scenes both characters shared. I would have *paid* to have kept Jonas even after Daniel came back. Outside of the core SG-1 cast, Jonas is one of my top favorite characters in the whole franchise. He's only beaten out by the Doctor from SGA that died due to the Tumor Bomb (as much as I love the character I can never remember his name), Michael (the half Wraith), and Eli (but only in the last couple episodes of SGU, he was just as much of a dick as everyone else before that)

True!! Nobody could replace Daniel, but I really loved Jonas Quinn as well!

No more beer for you!

2020 need more of the show

@@mhadekumultiverse4964 2022 still missing the show

@@mitchchabot8042 yep ಥ‿ಥ

2024 still missing this show

*Yes *asleep. :-B

Christopher Judge's ability to keep a straight face ....

I think Jack and Daniel were always past when they played off eachother

lol i just wanted to see if you would chase me. oh dany boy

It makes me picture Spock pulling the same trick. "I was attempting to ascertain whether a spontaneous display of urgent haste, even without context, would prompt you into pursuit."

I liked him, sad he itsn't in any other episodes. Imagine Jack, him and Maybourne

"oh god..."

Yep. Still nerdy but in a cute way!
