I'm a big fan of Stargate SG1, have been since it started. I think it's the quirky personalities mixed with science fiction. I consider SG1 to be training in how to deal with ET when we finally get to meet them.

Colonel O'Neill is my favorite character, his bumbling wise-cracking way is hilarious. The military would be mad to choose anyone else to represent Earth when negotiating with an alien species.

The other day, the discussion that occurred between the brasserie and the office touched on our team members and which members of the SG1 team they were most alike. Going through the team we came to me.

Apparently I'm most like Daniel Jackson.
Ok stop laughing now... This was Chappo's opinion, and while my immediate response was akin to WTF!!?? I have since accepted it as a good deal... even if I don't totally agree.

Daniel Jackson is the bookworm that turned. He's intelligent, can negotiate with aliens, can decipher alien languages, makes glasses look cool, can handle a military weapon with aplomb, always seems to have his head in a book, and is rather good looking as far as guys go ("buff" is a word that was used). I know what you're thinking... to be someone like that sounds GREAT!! ..the girls would go nuts.

However, I am none of those things. (I could probably handle the weapon though.)

The reasons given were interesting, and it did make me think.
It just goes to show, that how the world sees us, is not what we expect.

...don't worry Paul, Carter is an excellent character :-)
