I think O'neill is a very likeable character partly because hes flawed but also because he is a very noble character. Hes also in the show to keep it at our level. Like when he always stops Carter and Daniel when they get technical. They are Brilliant academics who when in conversation would confuse most of us, reducing the entertainment of the show (not to mention the writers inability to think like the characters) Thats where Jack comes in (ontop of his many other contributions to the show).

I think it's the latter, you're on the wrong forum !
And I think O'Neill is a great character, he's a good leader and much smarter then he pretends he is.Last edited by Janus; 24 July 2004, 05:31 AM.sigpic

Jack may be kinda dense but he doesn't use his brain, he uses his heart.
He may play dumb but he's GREAT at what he does!Last edited by -Jules-; 24 July 2004, 05:35 AM.

I actually believe that Jack is really quite intellegent himself.
He has to be very good at his job to have gotten into the stargate program in the first place - so while his methods might be a little ---strange? they work for him.
and yes, he's definately the comic relief - how boring would the show be if the other characters didn't have someone like RDA to bounce off? it would be 48mins of techno-babble..
(actually that's a massive overstatement - but it gets my point across)

I agree when people say that he is more intelligent than he acts.
I think his main attribute is leadership (Im probably stating the obvious). He is always able to make the right decisions in a split second especially when he's under a lot of pressure. Daniel and Sam are smart and Teal'c is a great 'warrior' but none of them could lead like Jack. I also think his humour is a way of keeping morale up amoung the team and keeping a good balance between the fact that he is the leader and must be obeyed and that he's still a trusted friend and team member to the others. Thats why they didnt seem to like 'Makepeace', he was all serious.
I think it was IMDB where I read that RDA asked the real life Gen Ryan if Colonels in the Air Force really act like Jack and Ryan replied "yes, and worse". I dont if its true or not though.
