    I am agreeing with FP and Lida. I am also waiting for a couple of episode before I make a decision on him.

      I might be in the minority but Im really excited about RD, especially after seeing the latest trailer. I had a good feeling about him when I read his bio and I liked the look of him from the episode photos but the trailer really did it for me. I think Jason Momoa will be a great addition to the cast

        So what does everyone think of BW RC comments about Dex in the new interview. So his purpose/niche on the team is to be intimidating and be able to back it up.
        Could be cool, although it might be alittle cliché, of course if hes actually is a bit more talkative than Teal'c that'll be fine (not a comment on Teal'c just that I want them to be different.)

          Teal'c was a highly trained and disciplined soldier, while Dex has been the hunted, and is highly unpredictable. I think we'll find them to be totally different characters.

            I quite agree. As for many using the the term "cliche"....aren't many of the characters cliches? McKay, the brilliant, self absorbed, somewhat cowardly scientist....with a hidden heart of gold....ok, maybe silver? Not going to name others, but you get the idea.

            For the umpteenth time, why don't we wait, just a little longer, and see what the writers, etc., have in store for the character of Dex? If he doesn't cut it, I'll be the first to admit it.

              "Wearying stereotype"? "The" Jason?

                After watching tonight's Sci-Fi special, it is obvious that Ronon is definitely not stupid. Apparently he was
                Spoiler:
                some sort of weapons specialist in his own military. . reminded me of a "Black Ops" type
                .

                He looks cool, he sounds cool, and I think he is really going to fit in.

As I have said before, he will be such a presense on the screen. He is a man of many talents, and he will bring much to Atlantis. We can not wait for the season 2 to start and cheer on our guy..we only hope that if other Atlantis fans don't grow to love him, at least they will respect his talent, and not see him as just a beautiful man, but also a beautiful soul and great actor.

                    His fiance Simmone Jade Mackinnon is also an actor and is on a tv show on the WE network, McLeod's Daughters...sorry if I did not spell that one right. Haven't seen the show but have seen her numerous movies...she's a great gal!
                    Wow you seem to know alot about him. Diehard fan or are you a family member of his or something?

                      Welcome back Wizzy and the people who are truly looking forward to seeing Jason in his new role, do KNOW his name is JASON MOMOA!

                      And for anyone new to this thread, please take note of some vital stats:

                      Born: Honolulu, Hawaii
                      1979
                      Height: 6' 4" (some sources say 6'5"....Well Wizzy, you should know )
                      Hair: Dark brown
                      Eyes: Green
                      Race: (personally not an issue, but) Hawaiian and German/Irish (Again, Wizzy, please correct any incorrect statements)
                      Raised: Iowa
                      Spots: Rock climbing, hockey, soccer

                      Miscellaneous info: Mr. Momoa, in addition to being an accomplished actor, is also an artist and writer. He moved to Australia in 2003, a move that inspired Jason to pursue and develop his interests as an artist.

                      So, all in all, we have an talented actor, an artist, a great son ( ), and one extremely good looking man. I know that the regulars to this thread and the Jason Momoa Thunk Thread, are looking forward to his debut as Ronan Dex, in the upcoming SGA episode The Runner!

                        No Helo, Blue007 is not a member of his family, BUT someone who has posted on here IS, so if you have nothing positive to add to this thread, please refrain from posting here. This thread is dedicated to positive and thoughtful discussion of the character Ronan Dex and the very able actor that will be portraying him, Jason Momoa.

                        Thank you for your understanding.

                          Thanks for helping keeping this thread postive and all the personal infromation, Lida.

                          From seeing the Scifi Friday special, I believe Ronon Dex will be a great addition to the team.

                              Thanks Helo. Please feel free to post here about Dex, esp. his firearms, that's a subject I know very little about. So the more info we get, the better!

                                Dex had some sort of stunner that he shot Sheppard with in the preview. Is SGA going to get their own version of "zats"?
