The kid's acting was seriously impressive. He was completely like O'Neill, in a teen's body. Everything about his mannerism, body language...etc. I don't what roles he went on to play since, but I might just look it up.
Yeah, they should've had him in more episodes. It would've been funny to see Old Jack have to see Young Jack at the SGC and go, oh crap, as he realizes that the kids in the Stargate program. Or they could even bring him up as the young Jack's own child gets introduced.
@@ChrisTian-ed8ol even better as Jack had the "ancients gene" have him on Atlantis flying one of the puddle jumpers or giving Rodney daily headaches. I could see him interacting with Col. Shepard and Ronan and it'd be like the 3 Musketeers. Would be comedy gold
Well, it's not like time-travel, where he'd have prior knowledge of events, and aside from the obvious benefit of being young again and living twice the life-time of a normal human, plus some life-experience, having to pick up all the lingo and absorb the modern culture of teenagers, settling into it, and going through high school, sitting in class, all day, just might balance all the good things out with a dose of 'nightmare'.
I like how they all died few times, traveled in time and other planes of existence, changed forms, saw some deep supernatural stuff, basically live in the world where is kind of everything possible, but YOUNG O'NEILL? No, it can't be!
He nailed every single one of adult Jack's manerisms and sarcasm perfectly, whic is what sells this episode so well. It would have been interesting to have had another episode with Young Jack due to some sort of threat from The Trust. He has all of Jack's memories up to the events of this episode. That would make himn a target for anyone looking to use said information to hurt the SGC or the Department of Homeworld Security. It would be funny to have SG1 show up to take him into protective cutody right as he's preparing to leave to go pick up his prom date. High point of the episode would be more of that great banter between adult Jack and Young Jack.
@@HarveyAndToddTheWraithYeah, Stargate SG1: Behind Enemy Lines is all about clone O'Neil and him coming to terms with basically losing everything because he cant be with his friends and family. He gets to meet clone Beckett though, which is pretty cool.
Still would have been a hell of a challenge to capture him, remember his young brain is now operating at it's full capacity, no function loss due to age, and he remembers everything. So that means he remembers all his military training, his special forces training, all his battles, and so much more. Good luck capturing young O'Neill.
Are you conducting some sort of scientific experiment Oneill? Hey, that salsa is still good!!! Then he reaches for a beer as he puts the salsa back! Michael Welch nailed RDA's mannerisms and delivery which made this episode so good!!
@@dpt300 I don't think it was a crush so much as she understood what Sam saw in Jack. And I think she would be highly intrigued by a version of Jack that was her own age.
It's kind of unbelievable this hasn't really been dealt with since that episode, and no subsequent episode ever dealt with the younger Jack. By now young Jack would an adult in his 30s, maybe 40s. If they really wanted to reboot the series, "young Jack" might make a good angle to do it.
Not that bad idea but I think Amazon wants to go big with the new SG show (and also it should be revival). But it would be nice if Young Jack would appear in one or two episodes...
Not really young anymore. He's only 10 years younger than RDA was when SG-1 first made, which means he's even older than RDA was when he first did MacGyver
@@HarveyAndToddTheWraith ok, Amazon doing the new SG series is scary. Might end up a flop like many of their modern shows or the last non-canon Stargate movie
@@Kanerudo Yeah it's scary but I hope they'll do it right, I think they know that if they fucked it up, we (Stargate fans) would make sure to let them know, which means their project wouldn't go anywhere.
I still would appreciate a Spin off Series there or at least a Mini-Series. Not urgently an Action Thing, but just how young O'Neill is fitting in his new Life; and some Cameos of his Stargate Friends.
So a 50years old dude with basically 30 years of military training and experience is going to high school to basically hit on high school girls ?😂 Cant say it doesnt check out 😅
I always liked the idea that if they ever do a new stargate series that they bring the young O'Neill back as one of the main characters, only this time as the science specialists, having this time around embraced his intelligence (which older O'Neill has). I think it would be a cool way to l8nk the newer era of the franchise with the older era and also answer what happened to him.
I would definitely like him to be in a new series. I also like the idea that he took a different path and is the science specialist of the team instead, as the show hinted that he was actually capable of being more intelligent, maybe the second time around he embraces his intelligence. It would also be a good way of distinguishing the two as separate characters, rather than just Jack again.
i dunno, i think Kid Orlin does pretty well at capturing old Orlin pretty well if you watch the episodes back to back, i see alot of complaints that the kid is very wooden, but so is old Orlin because he isnt human culturally

Indeed, I was really impressed as well
I know right?! At first I thought it he was his actual son!
There was so much they could have done with it
At least a 2nd episode

What nobody mentions is how his young self starts over from highschool with all of O'Neill's knowledge. That must be awesome.
which is technically a little creepy at the same time though
I think it's a terrifying idea.
Bingo. What I would give to do this very thing. All the pleasure I would have!

His résumé would be an employers dream: 18 years old, 30 years work experience
I like how they all died few times, traveled in time and other planes of existence, changed forms, saw some deep supernatural stuff, basically live in the world where is kind of everything possible, but YOUNG O'NEILL? No, it can't be!
It's not like they met a planet of people that had their ages reversed and their memories wiped at all, right?

I believe he appears again in some books and it has to do something with the Trust...
There was quite a good fan-fiction, "Second to none" I think, about younger Jack going through boot camp. I have not laughed so hard in years.
Ok, I'll check it out...

Casting choice is perfect
He was really good at being Jack.
This was the best "impression " of O'Neil in the show. Even with the body switching episode. Michael did an amazing job. One of my favorite episodes.
1:08 the way sam just takes it out his hand, and he's like, "You're joking"
One of My Favourite Episodes 🤣😂
Came here to say this.... word. for. word. :)
I would have liked to see teen Jack meet Cassandra. Sam's head would explode.
@@dpt300 I don't think it was a crush so much as she understood what Sam saw in Jack. And I think she would be highly intrigued by a version of Jack that was her own age.

Those are great moments!! That episode is a good one. Thank you for putting this together, and sharing it with your fans!👍👏
They really should have done a follow up episode. Jack Jr ...
Brilliant acting!
"go forth..." and... multiply?
I know the actor is Michael Welch, but I first thought he was Shia LeBeouf.
As a matter of fact it does say Colonel on my uniform
Crazy thought...but a reboot with Young Jack Oneill Clone would be in canon.

Cl'o'neill, Ryac, Cassie Frasier, Jennifer Hailey
O'Neill, Teal'c, Daniel, Sam
There's your new lineup.
You are saying what l was told 12 yrs ago. Thank you.

Love it. Thx

Young O'Neil, perfect replacement series now Young Sheldon has ended
I would have enjoyed further development of “Young O’Neil” but that never happened.
if a teen Chandler Bing wasn't in a sitcom
See if i was making a new SG series i would have Jack Jr., Cassandra, and maybe Ryach as team members.

So much they could have done with this kid becoming the next Jack and the best they did was suggest cam was his son from time travel
Stargate sequel possibilities with a new O'Neill team leader!
Was this during Richard Dean Anderson's I don't want to come into work phase?
Yeah it was, I have to say this was very creative way to have O'Neill and at the same time RDA can have free time
Yeah this was when he needed more time off to be with his kids.
Jack might have lost his son, but he gained a young clone able to redo the whole reproducing thing ^^
Who was this guy who played Jack's clone?
Well I don't know off the top of my head but you can look it up on a website called Stargate Fandom Wiki
Michael Welch
wait at 4:12 is that Courtney Ford?
Who am I by lily frost.
@@Saturn.analyzes I meant the actress
@@OmegaII ah, can’t tell you.
Great child actor! As opposed to "kid Orlin" in season 9 which is terrible
I really like how you can see all the typical gestures that O'Neill has
i dunno, i think Kid Orlin does pretty well at capturing old Orlin pretty well if you watch the episodes back to back, i see alot of complaints that the kid is very wooden, but so is old Orlin because he isnt human culturally
@@Lilgoth89 yeah I suppose Orlin was like that too
It's got to be a top five example of this kind of acting scenario. I didn't see a single twitch or sound or anything it wasn't on point. Kudos
