Bring in New Characters??

LiviNoel · Post by **LiviNoel** » Thu Sep 07, 2006 7:36 pm

So, we know that Jack has a family and grand kids. They could be quite a few different ages. It would be a neat way to stay connected to older Odyssey characters while bringing fresh new faces--eh, or voices.

Do we have any clues as to Jack's kids or grand kids?

I'd really love to hear episodes that delved more into Jack's background.

Yeah, that'd be super cool. $\:D/$

I vote "yes" for bringing Jack's kids and grandkids into the picture.

I've always wondered were they are...

I think that would be a good idea and when I first read this conversation it reminded me of "A Member of the Family" Part 1 & 2. When Whittaker has his grandson Monty come to visit and Monty is a bad kid and then Whittaker changes him. Do you think they should do something like that with Jack and his grandsons/daughters?

We don't want it to sound like a recycled storyline.

I agree that we wouldn't want a recycled story, but I think y'all are thinking along a good track too. I think there's a fresh new angle in taking up Jack's side of the family. His kids could be grown up with a variety of different personalities, professions--they could be a new "Barclay" type family for Odyssey even. That'd be pretty cool.

I really, really want to hear the story of how Jack and Emily got married. She seemed really interesting in The Triangle.

I agree - that would be really interesting! $\:D/$ We're definitely missing a lot of pieces between "A Question About Tasha" and "The Triangle." More Whit and Jenny stories would be good, and that could bring in Jack and Emily stuff too.

I think that would be really cool. Whit and Jenny/Jack and Emily stories would be really fun. I'd really like to hear more about Jack's family.

I'd rather just have more of Jack period. It seems like we see so little of him anymore

Yes, it does seem like Jack is in less and less episodes. I want more of jack too. But I'd also like to meet him family. $\:D/$

I agree.

Yeah, I think they should bring Jack's family into the picture. Maybe Joann's too. [Does she have grand kids?]

I always got the impression that Joanne had never been married before...I think that "The Pact" makes this clear, though I haven't listened to it in a while, so I'm not sure how explicit it is. However, I highly doubt that Joanne was married before and has kids/grandkids.

I agree with both of you!

I believe Joanne devoted most of her life to missions work, so her marriage to Jack is her first one.

I, too, think it would be muy interestante to find out more about Jack's family. It's a pity we haven't heard like, anything about them before. It seems we should be clued in now that we've known Jack for such a long time.

It was definitely be neat to have episodes with Jack's kids and grandkids. Or also have episodes with Jack and Emily, like others have said. It would give us more background on Jack's life.

Yeah, i'd really like to hear more about Emily. She was cool in The Triangle, that's actually one of my favorite eps.
