Nic..... it's okay.... I know that Cronus isn't one of those characters that starts the copious drooling from the fans of this show. And I sincerely hope you don't mind me gently reminding everyone that there is more to any human being than the way they look. And that beauty is only skin deep!!!
But believe me, there is a smallish group out here in fandom that believe that he could have been developed as a character, instead of being used as a plot foil for Teal'c, which is, quite simply why they introduced him as a character in the first place. He was the complete antithesis to, as you said, pretty little boy characters like Ra and Apophis. Heru-Ur was another who could have been developed a lot more. Instead the writers have chucked all of these other characters at us and just muddied the plot and confused the issues.
One of the hardest things to do in writing or creating characters is to create them, keep their position in a plot clear and concise and make sure that their appearances in a story or stories don't muddy the concept of the tale itself. I strive to do that all the time in my Stargate novel. I have introduced many new characters but am constantly going back to make sure that their position in the book doesn't compromise the plot, the timeline or the story itself. And above all that all of the original characters stay true to their original specifications. Although of course, I do allow myself some literary licence and fun with the original characters too!
My avatar is one of those from Double Jeopardy. I have a couple that I can put on as avatars. But yes, he DOES have a rather nice firm chin.... and a nicely shaped mouth. But he isn't perfect by any means..... just the way I like my men.
He also looks like the kind of guy who knows his way around the site without having to use a route map!
