Bit 'o Fun - What Should Joe Be in?

[kriadydragon]

Just a bit of pointless fun. If you could write the next show for Joe Flannigan to be in, what would you want it to be about?

I've heard a lot of people say they would love to see him play a detective, and I agree, but it shouldn't just be any old detective show. I think he would rock as a detective during the '20s, '30s or '40s. Or a modern day detective with something unusual about him: maybe he's a werewolf, or a shapeshifter. Although the latter plot is usually better off when done in book or movie form. Fantasy seems the finest of all genre lines that TV shows walk. Still, it's a fun concept :D.

IF you would like to ask the same question about the other SGA actors, please feel free to ;).

Think werewolves have been done to death, no wait, it's vampires. They're everywhere. Now, a shapeshifter would be cool! I've tried but just can't get into period pieces. I like it now or in the future :)

I just think Sheppard would look hot in a Fadora hat and long coat ;)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Fedora ;) Yeah, he would at that.

I'm not sure, everything I cna come up with has been done. I could see him being a profiler for the police, allowing him to show his acting range by 'getting into the minds of killers' even though he was a guest star on such a show. This way he got t o show his intellect, while throwing in some action stuff.

Or doing something along the lines of "Burn Notice".

And super extra bnous points of Jason was his parnter :D

Yes! Jason and Joe would be awesome together in whatever they were in.

I'd contemplated them being Bounty Hunters, but it kept making me think of Renegade - which was a show I wasn't particularly fond of - so didn't mention it.

I like kristen999's idea of a profiler type show where Joe would have a wide range of characters/emotions. I'd love any kind of action show with a touch of humor because he does that so well. I like Jason's idea as bounty hunters. Or maybe Interpol agents where they have to deal with counterparts across the world, who should primarily be David and Rachel. They could team up and chase down all kinds of cases and situations.

That would be awesome :D

I think it would be cool seeing him traveling around the world. What if he was just some no-name paper-pusher for a huge, worldwide company, and then he inadvertently gets thrown into the middle of some international intrigue...?

[kriadydragon.livejournal.com]

I like that idea :) Joe would be awesome in something like that.

[2bluaeryn.livejournal.com]

Reading coolbreeze's entry gave me the idea of Joe like a Jason Bourne type character...I think he would be cool with all that. Like the idea of Joe and Fedora. Like the idea of Joe and Jason as partners as well, teaming with David and Rachel more. And if we were to add a scifi twist to the mix I choose shape shifting.

"Reading coolbreeze's entry gave me the idea of Joe like a Jason Bourne type character...I think he would be cool with all that."

To see him do something like that would be awesome.

Add Rachel to the mix as the girl he befriends and we have an all around winner.

Someone who is great at Shep whump, angst and action could do an excellent fanfic version of what the show would be like.

*hint,hint...G*

Eeep! *closes eyes and covers ears* won't be tempted, won't be tempted, won't be... dang it.

[2bluaeryn.livejournal.com]

Ahhhhhhh, you know you wanta

*evil G*

[coolbreeze1.livejournal.com]

Ahh! Now I'm tempted to as well!!

[2bluaeryn.livejournal.com]

Another idea(you started this)instead of shape shifting what about a master of disguise. Ever seen the Saint? Joe would make a great one...action, humor and yes emotional and physcial whump.

Oh, that would be very cool :)

[timespirt.livejournal.com]

I think Joe and Jason should be Fed's and David and Rachel their MI-5 or Interpol counterparts. David N. should be the lab guru that works the forensics for the specialized American/Brit team. I could see them working terrorist plots and international crimes all over the world.

[kriadydragon.livejournal.com]

Very cool :D

[timespirt.livejournal.com]

OK,

So now can somebody write that fic for me since I will never see that show? LOL

[susnn.livejournal.com]

Anyone remember Ellery Queen? Or maybe Joe could be a photojournalist; could be very interesting. He could shoot everything from high fashion to war zones and maybe do a little detecting/spying on the side.

[kriadydragon.livejournal.com]

And that would definitely be different from the usual cop/lawyer/doctor trope :D

[wildcat88.livejournal.com]

Apparently, Joe wants to play a Jim Rockford type character who is contracted by a government agency (think Men in Black) to help them hunt aliens.

Seriously.

Sounds cool to me.

[kriadydragon.livejournal.com]

Hee-hee! That's so awesome he wants to do a show like that :D. I know that at one time he said he wasn't a big sci-fi person, though being in SGA had opened him up to it. I totally hope he does a show like that.
