Who's your pick for the new captain?

I looked her up, was talking about Rachel Luttrell who was mentioned earlier in this thread. I didn't like Higginson either. In Atlantis I wish they'd gone with the actor who played that character for I think one episode in SG-1.
I haven't seen much of Lutrell aside from Atlantis. She doesn't speak to me for a captains role.
What do you think of Morena Baccarin as a first officer?
 
A few suggestions.

Ross Kemp. Seems a very genuine guy who did a great job as the ex-soldier family man who's life was spent battling PTSD and bad influences (Grant Mitchell).

Amanda Tapping. A sci-fi veteran through Stargate but now more 'mature' and a viable seasoned captain... If you can look past her previous character and embrace the new one.

Chiwetal Ejiofor, probably off doing big productions but a fantastic actor who can do intense and approachable in a stride.

Hmm, I do like her but don't know if I can picture her in that role.
 
If were talking about stargate alums, i'd love to see Rick Anderson in a guest spot once or twice.
 
Ever since Angela Bassett was mentioned by Fuller I've wanted her as the captain but unfortunately I can't see it happening. Shatner, Stewart, Brooks, Mulgrew and Pine were all perfect for the captain's role so there are big shoes to fill.
 
Why can't some people see Bassett happening? It looks like she's done a lot of TV including a lot of American Horror Story episodes.
 
As long as we're posting wishes here, I'd love to have Michelle Rodriquez as captain. Get her in a military uniform and a pair of aviator dark glasses and she'll kick anyone's butt.
 
Watching TNG's "Ethics" right now. Bring on Captain Warf!

He wants to do it. I just read Moonves comments in another thread... Sounds like they expect to do multiple shows at some point. Maybe one of them can be ST: Worf. :D

She's been a pretty major character the last few seasons. I'm not sure what her schedule is because I think she's still on it. But she would make an interesting captain.
 
Really quick and crappy photoshop I threw together.

Eww no. She specialises in being a 2D caricature of the 'Latino hardass', simply content to sneer her way through every script that lands on her agents desk.

If given a choice of the Hispanic/latina actresses then it has to be the gorgeous Morena Baccarin, although I can't help but feel that someone a touch older would be more suited. IMHO.

Yeah, but she dates other women, therefore meeting everyone's LBGT requirements, AND kicking ass.
 
I could see her as a security officer or something, but Michelle doesn't really have the right personality for "captain" in my view. She comes off too gung-ho and "tough girl" ... I mean, that is her acting schtick. It just doesn't quite gel with what I think you want in a captain.

I'd totally be groovy with Morena Baccarin.

Also, the more I think about it, the more I really like Gina Torres as a captain. She'd be great.

Lena Headey would also be another one of my top choices for female runners. Loved her in 300 and Dredd. She'd be great as a very strong leader with equal balance of diplomacy and call to action.
 
I would definitely not want Michelle Rodriguez as captain. Only okay in small doses.

I thought I read that Baccarin is Italian... But sure she might be good.

That's why I think she'd be a good XO.
