This will be a good summer show for me, I can tell. No thinking required.
I still haven't gotten over his utter goofiness. I wasn't expecting him to be that much of a dork. And then on top of that he's got this accent which in most places wouldn't be an accent at all, but since everyone else is Canadian he sounds positively Southern sometimes and it makes me laugh.
I think Ben as Sheppard would have been even weirder since the role at the beginning is a lot like Crichton, and Ben hadn't even finished Farscape when SGA started (that's why he didn't get the part). It was weird enough for most Farscape fans to see him and Claudia on SG1 even with different characters, especially since there used to be a kind of rivalry between the two shows. I mean, imagine if Supernatural ended after four seasons (gasp!) and Jensen and Jared BOTH went over to Smallville and played different characters. The mind boggles.
