Redialing Learning Curve: Jack and kids

redial_the_gate does Learning Curve this week, with a delightful recap from kalquessa. There's lots of entertaining discussion going on at her post, so I'll just mention a few things that make me squee, and a couple of little niggling questions, before getting to what I really want to talk about.

I welcome everyone's thoughts. :)

ETA: Thanks, suzannemarie, for pointing out that I'd forgotten Loren from The Light. The boy was an incredible actor, too - the scene where he finally breaks down and tells Jack the truth about his parents is nothing short of amazing.

Also? I'm going to post and then not get back to my computer for twenty hours more often. Because you people had a lot of fun while I was gone. :)

ETA2: And Redbyrd points out that Jack, when he's not worried about Goa'uld cyanide-laced teeth, is pretty friendly to Ry'ac, too. No dog, but a baseball glove as compensation!
