This is the type of connection that makes my brain hurt!
Dude, the similarities are there!
As I sit here and think about it, both Walters are soo damn similar. If you notice:
1. The physical stature of both are similar (minus the knit cap Radar always wore)
2. Need I mention the round glasses going on there?
3. Both are vitally important to communication (SGC Walter with off-world teams and controlling the gate and Radar being basically the only means of communication to the rest of the world)
4. They are not-so-secretly in charge of their units. (Need evidence?: Watch Zero Hour-Walter is totally in charge and can read what Jack needs, just like Radar and Henry!!)
5. Heck, what about the name Walter? Maybe it spews out "secret puppetmaster of military units"? Young Walters should be preened for the important jobs?
Now, I'm certain there are other similarities!! I want to hear about them!! Otherwise I might just have to stick a Walter on ya'alls 'till I get some more!
(and I'm so going to have to edit this to make some actual sense after my brain stops hurting...)

Anyway, considering SG-1's
shameless ripoffsrepeated homages, does it really surprise you?Far as I'm concerned, Radar as Harriman's uncle, or other older relative, is canon.
