The Hammond Appreciation Thread

[Lenitnes_driht]

George Hammond deserves his own thread. Who agrees?

[Gate gal]

I agree completely! He was such a great head of the SGC. Hammond won me over quickly, but after 1969 I knew he was the greatest!

Weird. I couldn't find another thread for him. I can't believe he hasn't had one before.

Here's a photo of Don Davis at DragonCon 2006.



What a gentleman, and gentle man, he is!

I'm watching season two and am at "1969." There are a string of great episodes near the end of this season and Hammond shines in all of them. Science Fiction can have a tendency to get surreal and even silly. Hammond adds a layer of authenicity and weight that perfectly sets up the other actors. He's the consistent adult who can and does say no, sets boundaries, worries about his people and perfectly represents his country's interests.

Like much of the original team, he's irreplacable.

Count me in--and green to you for starting the thread!

I love Hammond I miss him.

Absolutely.

I really enjoyed seeing Hammond again in this episode. You could tell that when many around him were perfectly fine with the negative changes in American society, he tried to hold on to what he believed was right. I hope we see him again before the end.

Thanks for those! Don is great. I'm glad there's a thread for him and his character. It just hasn't been the same since he left the show...

Yes! It was great seeing him again. I believe I squeed when I saw him... (I had no idea he was in it)

[firefly827347]

Hammond's great! I miss him. General Landry is okay but he's just not the same

[angelfire east]

Cool! A Hammond Apprexiation thread He's always been my leader of the SGC (sorry Jack). He really felt like a father figure and just a wonderful person.
