Fortunately "Young Vibe" doesn't exactly translate into "Younger cast", but in the event that it did, what would everyone think if Stargate: Universe included Michael Welch reprising his role as young Jack O'Neill? He did a great job impersonating RDA's Jack in Fragile Balance and I for one wouldn't mind seeing him return to see if that version of Jack O'Neill could fit into the Stargate universe.

Young Vibe... Michael Welch?

He doesn't have to be identical to RDA's Jack. The Asgard tagged the original Jack's DNA to prevent tampering, which created the anomaly that Dr. Fraiser found, and Thor further manipulated the clones DNA to keep him alive. I'm sure somewhere in there and explination could be made as to why the clone doesn't exactly look like the original.
I don't see how having this character return would be "terrible" because he would be about 22 now, and would have all of Jacks experience, and would also have the Ancient gene. I think that would qualify him for consideration.

I would love to see Michael Welch make a reappearance in the franchise, but I think that they'd have to be very careful in handling his character and appearance on the show, so as not to make it seem overly silly. Also, given that there's been talk about separating SGU a bit from the other series, I don't think it's highly likely that he'd appear, given the amount of explanation his character would require for first-time viewers.They say the geek never gets the girl...what about the girl getting the geek?

I agree, especially with the bolded part. As much as I love that episode and found Welch to be pretty darn amazing in the role, I really don't see him coming back as Clone!Jack. However, I would love to see him again in a different role. Stargate has done that tons of times, I think it would be cool to have him back, but as a whole new character.They say the geek never gets the girl...what about the girl getting the geek?

Originally posted by starfox View PostThe funny thing is, they'd pretty much have to bring him back as Clone!Jack to justify his presence on an SG team. Michael's about 20-21 and looks it. They'd have to age him up to at least 25 to justify his presence. Unless, of course, he makes a reappearance as an alien or an Ancient, in which case age is much less of a big deal.

Originally posted by BubblingOverWithIdeas View PostI don't know, for example, Captain Jack Harkness had a bit of a complex backstory going from Doctor Who to Torchwood and the show didn't really need to refer to it much. I somehow doubt TPTB have Clone O'Neill in mind, though.
I would rather see Cassie return.

Maybe it could be done, though, if they were trying for a POV character inexperienced in the ways of the Stargate Program. One of the soldiers who's just transferred into the SGC witnesses Clone!Jack delivering a severe dressing down to someone and wonders who the heck this uppity kid is. Later discovers he's a clone and doesn't believe it. Someone who's been at Cheyenne longer just says "Welcome to the SGC." End scene.They say the geek never gets the girl...what about the girl getting the geek?
