Oh, gosh, yes! I've seen several people say similar things about Jack, but they're mostly people in SG-1 fandom (some of whom gave up on SGU, and the characterization of Jack was a big factor). It honked me off no end. The Jack O'Neill on SGU just isn't the same as the Jack on SG-1 and SGA. I know SGU has a lot of the same writers, but somehow they aren't writing Jack the same way much at all.
My Brilliant Husband suggested at one point that we think about SGU as a fanfic written by the characters in SG-1 and SGA! He imagines Daniel writing Jack while Daniel's in a really snippy mood, and John writing Rush and maybe Eli to annoy Rodney ("can you believe these scientists? They hardly pay any attention to anyone but themselves!"), and then Rodney writes Young and Scott to annoy John ("Look at these military men—no sense whatsoever!")....
