Well, it's not like time-travel, where he'd have prior knowledge of events, and aside from the obvious benefit of being young again and living twice the life-time of a normal human, plus some life-experience, having to pick up all the lingo and absorb the modern culture of teenagers, settling into it, and going through high school, sitting in class, all day, just might balance all the good things out with a dose of 'nightmare'.
The kid's acting was seriously impressive. He was completely like O'Neill, in a teen's body. Everything about his mannerism, body language...etc. I don't what roles he went on to play since, but I might just look it up.
Yeah, they should've had him in more episodes. It would've been funny to see Old Jack have to see Young Jack at the SGC and go, oh crap, as he realizes that the kids in the Stargate program. Or they could even bring him up as the young Jack's own child gets introduced.
@@ChrisTian-ed8ol even better as Jack had the "ancients gene" have him on Atlantis flying one of the puddle jumpers or giving Rodney daily headaches. I could see him interacting with Col. Shepard and Ronan and it'd be like the 3 Musketeers. Would be comedy gold
He nailed every single one of adult Jack's manerisms and sarcasm perfectly, whic is what sells this episode so well. It would have been interesting to have had another episode with Young Jack due to some sort of threat from The Trust. He has all of Jack's memories up to the events of this episode. That would make himn a target for anyone looking to use said information to hurt the SGC or the Department of Homeworld Security. It would be funny to have SG1 show up to take him into protective cutody right as he's preparing to leave to go pick up his prom date. High point of the episode would be more of that great banter between adult Jack and Young Jack.
@@HarveyAndToddTheWraithYeah, Stargate SG1: Behind Enemy Lines is all about clone O'Neil and him coming to terms with basically losing everything because he cant be with his friends and family. He gets to meet clone Beckett though, which is pretty cool.
Are you conducting some sort of scientific experiment Oneill? Hey, that salsa is still good!!! Then he reaches for a beer as he puts the salsa back! Michael Welch nailed RDA's mannerisms and delivery which made this episode so good!!
I like how they all died few times, traveled in time and other planes of existence, changed forms, saw some deep supernatural stuff, basically live in the world where is kind of everything possible, but YOUNG O'NEILL? No, it can't be!
It's kind of unbelievable this hasn't really been dealt with since that episode, and no subsequent episode ever dealt with the younger Jack. By now young Jack would an adult in his 30s, maybe 40s. If they really wanted to reboot the series, "young Jack" might make a good angle to do it.
@@dpt300 I don't think it was a crush so much as she understood what Sam saw in Jack. And I think she would be highly intrigued by a version of Jack that was her own age.
I always liked the idea that if they ever do a new stargate series that they bring the young O'Neill back as one of the main characters, only this time as the science specialists, having this time around embraced his intelligence (which older O'Neill has). I think it would be a cool way to l8nk the newer era of the franchise with the older era and also answer what happened to him.
Not that bad idea but I think Amazon wants to go big with the new SG show (and also it should be revival). But it would be nice if Young Jack would appear in one or two episodes...
Not really young anymore. He's only 10 years younger than RDA was when SG-1 first made, which means he's even older than RDA was when he first did MacGyver
@@HarveyAndToddTheWraith ok, Amazon doing the new SG series is scary. Might end up a flop like many of their modern shows or the last non-canon Stargate movie
@@Kanerudo Yeah it's scary but I hope they'll do it right, I think they know that if they fucked it up, we (Stargate fans) would make sure to let them know, which means their project wouldn't go anywhere.
I still would appreciate a Spin off Series there or at least a Mini-Series. Not urgently an Action Thing, but just how young O'Neill is fitting in his new Life; and some Cameos of his Stargate Friends.
So a 50years old dude with basically 30 years of military training and experience is going to high school to basically hit on high school girls ?😂 Cant say it doesnt check out 😅
I would definitely like him to be in a new series. I also like the idea that he took a different path and is the science specialist of the team instead, as the show hinted that he was actually capable of being more intelligent, maybe the second time around he embraces his intelligence. It would also be a good way of distinguishing the two as separate characters, rather than just Jack again.
i dunno, i think Kid Orlin does pretty well at capturing old Orlin pretty well if you watch the episodes back to back, i see alot of complaints that the kid is very wooden, but so is old Orlin because he isnt human culturally
