really really missed the Original Chaka. He was sweeeet! This guy just feels off... Plus, prosthetics are horrible.
The first Lorne-sighting, yay!

In my opinion this Chaka couldn't have been sweet - he was the most important figure to make the plot work.Originally posted by Queen Guinevere View PostCARPE DIEM

Chaka evolved since the first time we saw him. His entire situation changed at the end of that first episode when he killed the Alpha male of the group, so sweet Chaka pretty much died when he became alpha male.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

maybe. But did he really need to become so wooden? The first actor played him amazingly and while I agree with you and Anja that the new Chaka-diplomat should act more alpha-male-ishly being the important figure and so on, but I still want him to be an interesting, alive, endearing person he was before - not just a token "weird alien".
Well, anyway, all the valid points about the episode (arrogant earth-military and politicians, strangely xenophobic SGC-colonels) were mentioned in this thread already. I obviously came here too late

Was Chaka portrayed by two different actors?

Yes. He was first portrayed by the same actor who played the alien in The Fifth Man, and then by the actor who played Michael in 1969.

omg, is this the same actor? I didn't know that! I loved the alien from "TFM", but would never think it's our Chaka
To play an Unas convincingly, that's, you know... Too bad he haven't played more interesting roles

IIRC, those two actors played the greatest number of minor roles on the show, eight each (mostly in heavy makeup).

Are you sure he didn't play Iron shirt and not Chaka? IMBD has Alex Zahara (as Michael on 1969) as Iron Shirt and not Chaka... and it lists G.Patrick Currie as Chaka in Enemy mine...Originally posted by Seaboe Muffinchucker View Post

I see where I went wrong. Alex played Chaka in Beast of Burden, not Enemy Mine. So three different actors played him, then.

Currently watching this episode. It's really not very good! The cliche of the 'idiotic army man with guns' has been played out so much. I love stargate, but feel its episodes like this that prevented stargate from being truly great.

Wouldn't call that idiotic but normal human attitude - protect yourself and take what you want - has been this way for centuries.
