And whoops, forgot to reply to this - I think both of them are excellent opposites, in the sense that they approach inscrutability in completely different ways. It does make me wonder what would be a good catalyst for them to put their social facades down and talk earnestly to each other.
What could get them to talk to each other honestly and openly? Huh. Good question.
I think it would be easier with Picard, because he's a much more open guy. Jack, on the other hand, is a 20th Century Guy who's been in the military, and is thus highly trained and conditioned not to talk honestly about his feelings ever, with anyone, but especially with another guy. I think you'd have to have them working together for a while under stressful circumstances to get Jack to trust Picard, and then some precipitating incident.
There's certainly no shortage of stressful circumstances in either's canon 🤔 I do enjoy the image of Picard somehow being in Jack's canon, because Picard's definitely got a rambunctious streak a mile wide when he's not busy being the captain of the Enterprise (and even then, honestly - his holoprograms were very... antique).
Yeah, definitely! I'm sure once Picard is able to get Jack past his initial reservations, they'd probably have a fair amount to talk about. (Perhaps Picard mentioning said bar fight would be one way of going about it?)
I don't know, Picard is a bit of a private person. There'd have to be a really good reason for him to talk about it. And also, it depends on what age he was transported to the Stargate universe. Young!Picard might get along with Jack like a house on fire. Older Picard, with more experience and gravitas and his wild side under a tight rein, would be different. He'd probably get along better with Hammond or Daniel, at least at first.
