I just can't see it. Admittedly we know nothing about the character yet, but based on the other roles I've seen Browder in and on his own personality (or at least public persona), I can't picture him in the SG universe. It's... weird. And I fear the dynamic changes. Sure, I'm primarily a Daniel fan, but Daniel-in-the-context-of-his-team, not Daniel, some of his team, and some random folks. SG-1 isn't very well designed for main character cast changes. Poor, hapless Jonas could testify to that.
Also: we hatesss you, Sci-Fi, for killing Farscape after four seasons and forcing its lead to recycle himself on your other show!
That's the other big problem I have with this. Sure, Farscape and I couldn't make it work, but I know how devoted 'Scapers are. Y'all are passionate. And for them to jerk you around like that and then say, "But look! We've rescued Claudia and Ben from that other show and are putting them on our favorite! Aren't you happy now?" is dirty pool. I hope Farscape fans who've never watched SG-1 don't tune in expecting anything like their lost show, because ouch, big disappointment.
I do have to hand it to the SciFi promo guys, though. The giddy squeeing over Browder has hushed the rumbles of "What? No Jack?" For now, anyway.
