I would like to say that one of the reasons that I enjoyed, and still do enjoy watching Stargate Sg-1 is, for the character of Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks). He is one of the most interesting characters that is on any television show that I have watched recently. I would ask that you bring Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) back to his place on Stargate Sg-1. The new character that replaced Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) is an able actor as far as I can tell, but he is still not Michael Shanks. Every week I was excited to come home and watch Stargate Sg-1, due in a large fact to the character of Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks). I am still excited to watch Stargate Sg-1, but my excitment has dropped alot since Michael Shanks was dissmised from the show. Again, I would ask that Michael Shanks be brought back to his place on the Sg-1 Team.

Sincerely,

Eric Buhlmann

I was highly annoyed when Michael Shanks was announced to be leaving the show. He was my favourite character and I thought that his character brought a great deal to the show. Though I am sure that his replacement will bring his own individual qualities to the show he will never have a status in the shows fans that could rival Michael Shanks. I think that the show has lost a great actor and should realise this. I hope they bring him back into the show. I feel this could be easily achieved because of the way which he left, it was not death but evolution to I higher plane. There is no reason that he could not be written back into the stoy line in his new form or in human form but with all the powers that have been demonstrated by the beings he has evolved to become and more.

Yours Sincerely

I recently heard that Michael Shanks was to leave the show SG-1 and sta right down at the computer to find more information on that. Unfortunately I found it to be true, so now I am writing to you to kindly ask you to reconsider your decision. I think that the character Daniel Jackson, especially in constellation with Jack O'Neil is the essence of humour in the show. It also creates a certain suspense in the storyline, especially when it comes to questions of moral vs. self-defense. You would probably tell me that all this can and will continue. But besides the fact that Michael Shanks is somewhat of a cutie, it's always hard to get used to new characters, especially when you watched the show for a long time. Watching it is like coming home and having an actor taken out or exchanged is like missing a member of your TV-family. I guess I would still watch SG-1, but it wouldn't be the same anymore. It would turn into "just another show".

And since I'm on it, I wouldn't mind seeing a little bit more of the Sam/Jack story that was started a while ago. I also could stand having Teal'c say a line or two more. But I guess waiting for exactly that is what keeps you on your toes as a fan.

Anyway, I love the show and I would hate for any of the main characters to leave.

Thank you for listening!

Just wanted to post something POSITIVE here for the executives to see. I am really, really looking forward to tonight's kickoff of Stargate: SG-1 from the very beginning, "Children of the Gods", on the Sci-Fi channel.

I have been looking forward to having Daniel Jackson back for months now, and am excited that the folks at Sci-Fi chose to air these episodes for those of us who didn't subscribe to Showtime, can't get the DVDs (and what's up with that?), and don't want to download.

Now, if only MGM and the rest would find a way to bring Michael Shanks back to reprise his role, PERMANENTLY, I would be one seriously happy camper.

Thanks so much,

When the Anne Rice "I am Sci-Fi" ad started to pop up, I have to make the decision not to watch Sci-Fi channel any more. Come on, are there any real sci-fi fans in this world that actually believed Anne Rice is "sci-fi"? That was absolutely an insult to our collective intelligence!

It was Stargate SG-1 that brought me back to Sci-Fi channel. I had been a devoted Stargate fan from its beginning. It instantly caught my eye. It was intelligent, it had class, and it was right on its path to become a real sci-fi classic. And what was really unique about the Stargate series is the concept of bringing history and future together and bringing real science to sci-fi.

Major Carter is very important in making the whole picture coming true, but I doubt that she will pull it all off by herself. The Daniel Jackson character is very pivotal in this aspect, because he is the key in connecting the future with the past. With him, you have attracted not only the usual sci-fi fans, but also many archaeology/history devotee.

You may think that female fans are attracted to the series because the good-looks of Michael Shanks. Yes, it is true. But brining another beautiful face to replace him will not work. It is the character of Dr Daniel Jackson, the way Michael Shanks interprets him that made us all fans of the series. Imagine the Star-trek Next Generation without Data?

Without him, the show will never be the same again. It may still be a great show, but it will not be as intelligently simulating. And when the show starts to lose its special appeal, you are going to lose your audience. You have sth. very much on the verge of becoming the next Star-trek and you decide to turn it into another Lexx or Farscape.

Your sincerely,

Xin Wang

The reason for this? The gaping hole left by Daniel Jackson's "ascension". Jack O'Neill seemed to be present in body only as he intoned his lines with the minimum of feeling or conviction. The whole thing made me desperately sad. The heart and soul of "Stargate" has been ripped out with the departure of Daniel and the indefinable magic that made the program so popular, has gone with him. What a wicked waste of a wonderful character who inspired such loyalty and affection in viewers. Jonas Quinn has little charisma and cannot realistically hope to command the same devotion.

BRING DANIEL BACK ITS JUST NOT THE SAME!

I was quite shocked, and saddened, to see that Michael Shanks left the show. My understanding on his depature was due to a decreasing role in his character, Daniel. That's very unfortunate. Daniel drew me into SG-1 several years ago and was one of the biggest reasons I became a fan of this show. For me Daniel, was the hero I'd like to think I would be. Because he wasn't a military or safety forces person, but an intelligent and honorable civilian who rose to challenges. I'm non-military and I could relate strongly with Daniel. I wish you would highly consider bringing back Shanks. He was a terrific actor and is a missed presence on the show. But don't get rid of Corin Nemec, either, just have both co-exist. They are breaths of fresh air from the military characters played by Amanda Tapping and John Dean Anderson. Please consider this letter as support for Michael Shanks' return. Thank you.

Sincelery, Benjamin Duer, fan.

I have always enjoyed Stargate SG-1 and have usually elected to watch it when I could. I have only recently been able to catch it on FX on a more regular basis, but I was shocked,surprised, and very disappointed when the character of Daniel Jackson was killed off.

Daniel Jackson, as portrayed by Michael Shanks, was the heart and soul of the show. That particular character, and that particular actor, in addition to the themes of archaeology and liguistics, were the main reasons I cared to watch.

Since you let Michael Shanks leave and eliminated his character, Stargate SG-1 has become a big BORE! A serious yawn fest. It is Friday, September 27th, and I just watched the episode where Daniel Jackson comes back to aid and comfort Jack as he is being tortured. It was fabulous and glowing and only because of his presence. And because of the charisma of the actor. Not to mention his gorgeous, sexy presence. The next episode broadcast held my attention for approximately 5 minutes before I turned to a baseball game. And the playoff spots have already been clinched. And I am a woman. That is how boring it is. That is how boring they have all been since you cut out the heart of this show.

Pity. Show some intelligence. Bring him back. Please. You are smart people. You can figure out a way to do it. If not, it will be your loss. Because this actor will surely find other work. And I will watch it instead. And a great character and a great show will, in the end, be lost. Far too prematurely.

Sincerely,

I am writing to include my support to keep Stargate SG-1 strong. There really isnt much appealing sci-fi shows availible right now ever since ST Voyager ended. ST Enterprise is just starting out and doesnt seem very strong to stand on this own yet. Stargate SG-1 was just starting getting interesting when major changes to network and cast took place to (in my opinion) weaken the show. I believe that is something isnt broken, dont fix it. I do believe that the character Daniel Jackson is an important role to the series and provides a basis on the original story line. Dont let what happend to Sliders happend to Starget SG-1.

I found him to be an intellegent and brainy kind of guy that seams to know exactly what he was doing and the fact that he could speak many languages and read strange artifacts etc.

I personally think that the show will lose it's valuable fans if Daniel is not to come back as the heart and sole of the show was Daniel and afterall he was the one to discover how the Stargate works.

Please bring Daniel back.

Australia - Friday, September 27, 2002, 1:14 AM

I (female aged 38) have been watching Stargate SG-1 since the movie and have always loved it. My son aged 14 is also a big fan. We have only recently had the episode Meridian on Australian commericial free-to-air television. We find getting episode information difficult, even from the net, as even the offical site is only showing up to season 4.

As I watched Meridian I thought WOW, he is going to have an even bigger role in the show, as he will be able to get information and bring it back to the team to help in their fight against the Gould. I thought he could become like Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars. Then I suddenly thought, I hope this is not Stargate's way of killing someone off and writing him out of the show. So I went online to find out and was horrified.

I have been finding the show less appealing as Daniel was seen less and less and have been inclined to only come into the room when I heard Daniel's voice, while my son was watching it. I felt that once Daniel's wife died it left the way open for him to have other romantic interests, it makes for a well rounded show. Heck, how many women did Captain Kirk kiss in original Star Trek. It wouldn't hurt to make the most of Michael Shank's sex appeal, he is a brilliant actor. In science fiction anthing is possible and it should not be hard to bring him back with bigger and better story lines.

Is it too expensive to have an archaeologist on staff as a consultant, to keep up the standard of fasinating historical information. I loved Daniel's ability to read and speak many languages.

Without Daniel the show has no intellecual appeal. It was a great combination of intellegence and action, now it will degenerate into nothing more than a shoot-em-up, crash-em-up show aimed at an audience of teenage boys. I feel the show will lose it's entire female audience and a lot of it's mature age male audience as well. I will not be interested in watching it without Daniel.

Daniel was a marvelous role model and had a great relationship with Jack, which showed a good balance. Daniel made being a nerd cool and showed that sometimes brains are better than braun, to save the day.

I won't be interested in going to a movie without Daniel as it will be nothing better than Lethal Weapon, Mission Impossible or Terminator. I loved the Indiana Jones movies for their combination of action and intelligence.

Please make Michael Shanks an offer he can be happy with, because if he finds himself a new show, he will be taking his loyal fans with him.

Our statement is quite simple; there is a lot of good television about nowadays, and limited time in which to watch it. If the calibre of the SG-1 story is reduced to an unprecedented degeneration through the removal of the character of Daniel Jackson, then we will place our valuable time elsewhere and not watch the show.

Please reinstate Daniel Jackson and give him the depth of character that he once had; and allow him the (now long-gone) scenarios which will best express the complex intellectual and humanitarian character which was so involving in the earlier episodes, and which contributed to our watching the series in the first place. Writers and producers, why don't you pay some attention to what the actors are saying and feeling; with the level of demoralisation that you are subjecting the cast to (for no good reason) you are obviously now working from some heartless economic realm--this path will usher in the demise of the show. Wake up.

If it is his choice to retire I will understand it, but if he, as Michael seems to want to continue to be a part of the SG1 team, then I implore you to make every effort to keep the team together for many episodes to come.

This cannot be! He is the pure intellectual foundation of this show. This is how shows begin to die, i cannot see my favorite show going through this too.

The amazing balace of the cast, each in his own special way, that is what made this show amazing and unbelievable.

I ask you, I even beg you, Please return Michael Shanks to the cast of Stargate SG1.

I was deeply disappointed to discover that Daniel Jackson's character had been killed off in the Stargate episodes aired in Australia in the last fortnight.

I have been watching Stargate for years and the main reason I watch it is to see Daniel's character. His character is the one with the insight, awareness and understanding of other cultures. He is the one that makes the communication and understanding of them possible. Whilst I appreciate Amanda Tapping's character being smart and resourceful and find her a great female role model in many ways, she is still very much under O'Neill's thumb and rather than putting forward different viewpoints, generally her character uses her impressive skills to help O'Neill deliver on his lame brain arrogant ultimatums and take all the glory. Daniel's intelligence and sensitivity is the perfect foil to O'Neill's thickheadedness, brashness and inability to emote. I especially appreciate Daniel as a male character being sensitive and insightful, as well as strong & determined. I truly wish for more men in the world like Daniel, and there are precious few good role models for them.

Without Daniel to provide a different perspective and some real feeling, the show degenerates into simplistic "fight the evil aliens/save the innocents" plots with lots of action but no real substance. I do not watch Stargate for action, there are a multitude of other shows on that level to watch if action interested me. I watch Stargate because it puts forward interesting ideas and viewpoints, and stimulates me to think and feel things beyond what I might think and feel in the course of my everyday life. Daniel is the brains and soul behind the show. Without his character I will not be watching Stargate any longer.

Yours Sincerely, Anne Cregan BSc(Hons)

Sydney, NSW - Tuesday, September 24, 2002, 3:21 AM

Quite simply, Daniel Jackson is the only reason there is a Star Gate. Daniel Jackson was the central character in the film that spawned the series - he was the one that cracked the Star Gate symbols and made it work. Without Daniel Jackson, the series is simply a bunch of military types hooning around the universe with no apparent moral motivation other than to figure out how to defeat their enemy. Daniel's unique humanitarian take on the universe as SG-1 explores new planets creates a balance in the team at times when military might would prefer to destroy rather than seek to understand.

Having Daniel Jackson ascend to a higher plane is a really nice idea. But the fans, myself included, aren't going to accept that's what happened unless Daniel Jackson in his new form reappears in the show at regular intervals like Samantha's father does. Why have Daniel become an enlightened being if the team doesn't benefit from that?

Bring Daniel Jackson back. We love him too much to see him permanently removed from the show.

Yours sincerely, Petrina Frost Sydney, Australia.

With the move to the Science Fiction channel it is difficult to gauge the impact of Michael Shanks' departure on the overall ratings of the television series Stargate SG-1. In my humble opinion, Mr. Shanks' work on the series has consistently contributed to a positive impact on those ratings.

It would be interesting to analyze and compare the ratings of season six where he appears as a guest star to those where he does not appear. The results may be of interest to MGM.

The character Daniel Jackson not only brings into proper balance the aspects of the other protagonists in Stargate SG-1, the character's insight stirs the audience to reflect on the many levels of the plot and arc, which dramatically enhances the appeal of the series.

Michael Shanks is a great asset to MGM because his unique skills and approach to the character lead the audience to recognize the many profound ideas that make the series so intriguing to watch. It may be beneficial to MGM to explore the various options of utilizing Mr. Shanks' inimitable talents.

Thank you for your time, Jill Junkala

Stargate Sg-1 just isn't the same with out the character of Dr. Daniel Jackson. No one else could do the part justice either. This is coming from an adult who knows her own mind. I am not a person who can't accept change either, I do think that the introduction of new characters occasionally is a good thing, but it isn't the same without the original cast. Although having been a Navy wife I do know that assignments don't last forever no matter how good you are. I don't know if the budget has shrunk or not, but even the story lines don't seem to be what they used to either, unless it's just because Michael Shanks is no longer part of the show. It doesn't seem to flow as well, and if the producers don't or can't see that, then it is up to us to point this fact out to them. Threatening letters only make us all look like a bunch of mental cases needing 'keepers'. Yes I am crazy about Stargate SG-1, but I am an otherwise mentally sound individual. I am horrified that there are people out there who would even think of trying to get their way by using that type of coercion. Also, there are so many other cultures from ancient societies who worshipped multiple Gods to make this a very long lasting and lucrative show. Maybe the show needs better writers. If that is the case, the producers of the show need to search out new talent. People like us for instance, who make up scenarios for fun. I have a few of my own, although a screenwriter I am NOT. I do have a smidgen of writing experience. Perhaps a writing contest where the winner gets their episode actually shot and aired, or the idea at least, if we all really suck at the writing aspect of it. Star Trek as big as it is, has similar publicity grabbing ideas on the table even now. Perhaps the producers of Stargate SG-1 need to jump on that particular bandwagon and ride it for all it's worth. I deliberately PAID to watch the show. I subscribed to Showtime for Stargate SG-1 and that show only. I no longer subscribe to Showtime. The only time the channel was turned on in my home was every Friday from 10:00 to 10:45 during the SG-1 run. The only reason that I could think of for the producers to not bring back the character of Dr. Daniel Jackson, would be because Michael Shanks no longer wishes to play the part. Anyone else in that role would be disappointing. So with that in mind I have something personal to say to Michael Shanks. We miss you Michael, terribly. There are so many of us who want to see you come back to the show, and I hope that knowing we all love and miss you will help you to decide to come back. If you decide not to come back that’s okay too, and I for one, wish you the greatest luck in everything you do.

Anyone who wishes to comment to me on my ideas, or anything else Stargate SG-1 related, can contact me at paganfurby@hotmail.com.

Sure Daniels gone adn we're all upset, but GET OVER IT! He may have been a crucial member of the team that brought balance to the show, but as long as there are many more action scenes showing battles among the Azgard/Go'aold it may restore that balance. Don't get me wrong, I hated it when I found out that Daniel was outed but if thats the way things are going then I just think that the producers should try to rebalance the show and make the most of what is left.

Adrian Apps
Australia - Sunday, September 15, 2002, 8:07 PM

But I have to tell you, I am very unhappy with the idea to write Daniel out of the show. He was the character that tied the others together, giving the voice of reason and ethics to balance the military O'neil, the technological Carter and the warrior/honor focused teal'c.

Why do something to ruin a group that has only been making the show work, and actually becoming more popular? Find a way to bring him back. His understanding of the archaeological and historical is needed - badly. Bring him back.

i have NEVER seen an episode without Daniel Jackson in it. I NEVER will see one. i was cruising the web looking for what seasons of the show were out on dvd when i came across a website (not this one) that informed me of the departure of the daniel jackson character more than well played by michael shanks. i could not believe my eyes. i thought someone was yanking my chain. i was quite dismayed to find that it was apparently true.

i still have trouble believing it. i mean surely they (producers) could have gone further (much further) in an attempt to get him to stay. but reading the various interviews it seems that they almost wanted him out the door. therefore i will go on the premise that they are the ones to blame.

the SG-1 team is just that, a team. the characters are of course played by more than capable actors, but they are still a team. think of a chair. a chair with four legs. when you pull out or take away one of the legs what will happen to the chair. it will fall. you may redistribute the load on the other 3 legs (add another actor) in an attempt to get the chair to stand but it will b doomed to failure. eventually the chair will fall.

already i "hear" that cracks are appearing. that is for another time.

i enjoyed the character interactions on the show, teal'c - jackson (thought provoking) oneil - jackson (the most amusing) carter - jackson (much more needed here) etc,etc

you need to put the leg back under the chair and find a way to get mr shanks back on the show. you have a good thing going here and could ESILY get 3,4,5 or who knows more seasons out of it. don't permanently screw things up by leaving him out of the picture.

also i believe false accusations by one of the staff of the show should be dealt with.

thank you for your time

r stull

p.s. as i said before i enjoy the interaction of the characters so much that i will not watch a jacksonless episode just as i would not watch one without one of the other 5 original characters (general hammond #5)

i am sure the actor you have hired is more than capable however he is not part of the "team". i think you need to your producers down a peg before they kill your golden goose. already they have cost you one sale of the season 6 dvd when it comes out.

cheers

In NZ, it is only a couple of months ago that Daniel Jackson was written out. I was disappointed, but not surprised. This is the first time I have ever browsed a site for information on Stargate, but I was curious to find out why Jackson's character was written out.

I had noticed that the balance between the characters had changed dramatically, and subsequently, the storylines had suffered. Specifically, the writers had degraded Daniel Jackson's character, and lost the "feel" of who he was. He seemed to become passive, and was often undermined, especially by Jack's character. There were times, when watching, I would think "that is not true to Daniel Jackson's character".

The focus (storylines) swayed towards Jacks character, which upset the whole balance between the relationships. I do not mean to undermine any of the other characters, as they are all great, rather to say that the writing for Jackson's character seemed lacking.

Consequently, I started to miss episodes, and I have only watched one episode since his character was written out. I am sad to say that, for me, the show has lost the original appeal. Not soley because of Daniel Jackson's character leaving, but rather because the balance between the characters, and the essence that created for the storyline, has been lost.

I’m another fan… well, fanatic actually but I really love you’re character of Daniel Jackson, I was wondering why you felt you should leave the series as I see no reason for your actions? Meridian had to be the most frustrating episode I have EVER seen, us fans all had our back up at the producers and mine’s still arching. I’m in England so I haven’t been able to see the episodes yet, (not that I actually want to now you’re gone) Please come back, I don’t ask you dedicate your life to the series but you should know how wonderful Daniel Jackson’s character is to all of us, we associate him with the goodness in all people, now… SG-1 are reduced to a bunch of military… which is never a good-case scenario. We want Daniel, and we’ve all gone crazy… (Check… www.savedanieljackson.com)

Anyway… key words… PLEASE… return… we love character… miss ya… annoyed at producers and resorting to writing useless letters to all who will read… Daniel Jackson… unique… irreplaceable… honourable… cool… SG-1… unfinished business and everything else is beyond my intellectual mutt of a brain… Please respond to my letter. All I want is to know you got this letter, as a fan I hope to receive just a tad bit of compassion. Yes, we’re all crazy sad pathetic human beings, but we love Stargate and don’t want it to go to hell because of some disagreements, that’s even more pathetic than us…

Please respond… thank you… You’re faithfully, Amy Hadrill, 16 England.

You probally wouldn't remember my letter that I have previously sent as there is SO many loyal Daniel Jackson fans trying to save him, but my name is Amanda marshall. I'm just following up on my previous letter to in form you that daniel jackson's final episode (Meridian) has aired here in Australia. So until season six, episode Abyss, I will NOT be watching the show (Stargate SG-1). Also I would like to in from you that whenever I read about the new episodes of Stargate SG-1, I instantly feel sick, thus meaning that the show SUCKS with Dr. Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks). So remember, no Daniel Jackson, less fans. And don't think I'm kidding. I go to a private school, am one of the two school captains, and everyone at school (students) agrees with me and are joing this petition with me. By the way, I should mention that there is OVER 500 pupils at my school. And they too are (or should I say WERE) loyal fans who will not be watching the show until Dr. Daniel Jackson stars in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have just watched the end of the fith season here in germany and I was literally shocked to see, that Daniel was written out of the show!!!!!!!!!!! In the beginning I thought, that he will just bee away for a couple of episodes, but now I am reading on the net that he will never return for good. What I also read, is that he isn´t wanted anymore on the show because of the producers. This is what I do not understand. After all these guys are only producing stargate to to get as many people as possible watching it so that they can earn a lot of bucks by selling the series. As in many other series many people will stop watching it when one of the most popular feagures left the show. The same will surely happen to stargate. So throwing Michael Shanks out of stargate won´t do the producers any good, because they will losse a lot of viewers and therefore loose a lot of money. This decision is no good at all!!!!!!!!!!! Though I really do love all of the characters of SG-1, the show will not bee the same without Daniel Jackson and I for sure will not watch it anymore, unless I can look forward to Daniel coming back. So I really do hope that MGM will change it´s mind and do what will bring them more money (cause this is all it´s interested in): bring Michael Shanks back to stargate!!!!!!!!!!!

I was very saddened to see the demise of the character Daniel Jackson in a recent Stargate episode. You have broken up a wonderful team. Why? Stargate is the only programme I watch on TV and when I'm away I get my wife to tape it. We both love it and have seen a wonderful improvement in the quality of the scripts since the earliest episodes which were pretty average. Daniel's character has also grown with the series as he became a kick ass warrior while retaining a lot of his academic nerdiness. He was a loveable character and I enjoyed his interactions with Jack O'neill and the others.

He was also a civilian and could question Jack's plans which made for some great personality conflicts. If something isn't broken why would you need to fix it. I would like to see Daniel back in the series as I think he is a pivotal character and the team will just not be the same without him.

All the best

I only started watching STAR GATE the week "Menace" aired on normal TV. I adapted to all of the characters almost immediately, especially Daniel Jackson.

There was "The Sentinel" the week after.

Then "The Meridian" last Thursday in which I saw Jackson, the geek, the space-monkey, the brain of the team, die from lethal dosage of radiation in the event of saving an entire planet.

The regrets that I have are many, but one that really hurts is that I never got a chance to see ALL of the classic, original characters enough.

I understand the meaning of Meridian now - well sort of, anyway. Oma Desela is Mother Nature (or Mother Earth as my acquaintances say), Jackson goes with her, to the path of 'enlightment'. That's totally understandable even though I can't express it in words or on paper.

I also understand that it was Mr. Shanks (Michael) who requested to leave the show. Five years is a long time for a fresh-adult actor to be with a show. With "Meridian" Daniel is written out, but the door is still open for him to return to the team, for he's not truely dead (when he's not really alive either, which is extremely confusing). This means that Mr. Shanks, IF he decided to change his mind (which is the reason for my writing this, in hope that he does, because the show, the team, and the fans desperately need his presence), the door is still open for him to return as a regular, classic character on the show.

I hope he does. Or maybe he won't. All I'm saying is that everyone needs Daniel to come back.

We will all be truely grateful if he does decide to come back to the show. We need Daniel to come back.

Please. Reconsider your writing him out, and please ask Mr. Shanks to reconsider his leaving the show. We really want Daniel back.

Thank you.

Yours Sincerely,

I saw Startgate in the cinema some years ago. It was more than impressed and came to the view that this was the best sc-fi since/with star trek. Well I am watching the movie now on the vcr and hav been an avid watcher of the tv serial - hey i was delighted to be able to watch on recent trales in oz/nz.

The part of daniel jackson is core to the SG-X team. What would SG-Z be without Daniel Jackson? I wonder. Please keep Daniel in the team full-time.

I cannot understand what kind of idiot would attempt to change the tone of the series with the elimination of an integral character. The show is not the same, and as such, I enjoy it far less. The show was a "not miss", now it has been relegated to a "if I feel like it". The remaining original characters are still there, and performing as well as always, but the chemistry has changed.

I request, that the moron who made this decision, be made to reverse himself before he is fired.

Thank You for your time.

My name is Vanessa and I have been a Stargate fan for as long as i can remember. I cannot sit and tell you what to do, or rave and carry on about how i'm a huge Stargate fan because that would not be right or true. All I can do is try to tell you how i really truely feel. Last night I sat down and watched Daniel Jackson, my favourite SG1 memeber die. I was really upset even though I knew he was going to die months before. He is the heart of the show... he doesn't have a single bad bone in his body and yet all the bad things seem to happen to him. After watching the episode I sat down and pondered over it, i talked about it all day today trying to get other people's opinions and I can only come to one conclusion. SG1 is not the same without any of the Four memebers. We have grown to love them for who they are and what they do... but not as individuals, rather as a team. SG1 is not SG1 without Daniel,Jack,Sam or Teal'c and if replaced the new members would not be accepted simply because they are not the person they took over from. Therefore I am asking you to please, bring our Danny back in any possible way, to the family he belongs to... SG1 cannot live on without Daniel Jackson.

I have wanted an opportunity to write to you regardng a couple of subjects.

Firstly, you incredible mistake at letting M. Shanks AKA 'Daniel'

If any of you have read the books 'The Hero with a Thousand Faces' Or 'The Writer's Journey' then you would also know that you have made a Boo Boo.

Any storyline that 'Stretches the Credibility Gap' (Sci Fi especially) requires 'Archetypal Characters'

'Daniel' was the 'Archetypal Sage' Or the giver of important information and wisdom.

His character had been perfectly moulded for the part.

I won't go into the 'Archetypes' of the rest of SG-1, you should know this better than I.

However, Quinn is quite UN-Inspiring. Although he helped Earth with a much needed material, he is in fact a 'Quisling'.

bring Daniel back, and you will bring back the 'Wholistic' pleasuer of the the four Team Mates Interaction.

Second item, I'm from Oz (Down Under) I collect the Videos, I only get 3 tapes every 8 weeks (I'm still waiting for the last 6 episodes of season 4 !!!!)

Can you kick the Distributors along so my 'Little Backwater Country' can get a bit more with it instead of being the 'Tail-End' of the episodes.

Thanks & regards,

Steve Sutton.

Daniel Jackson made the show come alive. He wasn't important in and of himself, but without him O'Neil is a boring character, and in fact, the whole show is too serious to be fun to watch.

Maybe this is for the best. I'm sure we'll all get more sleep from now on because we won't be hunting the odd places that Stargate has been put on the TV schedule!

Too bad, though.

Anyone who takes sensitive defence material to a superior alien power which, for all he knows, might use it on his own people is, de facto, A Threat to National Security of his own world. I simply cannot believe that such an one would be trusted to be any more loyal to aliens than he was to his own kind. So far as I can see, his position is untenable.

I have now learned that there is to be a seventh series. Well, unless we have

THE TEAM, THE WHOLE TEAM, AND NOTHING BUT THE TEAM,

then I for one am not interested.

I think they have very much crippled where the show can go from here by removing Daniel Jackson's character he was the best character in the show and also the most human. He has saved the planet and sg-1's lifes too many times to count primarily due to his way of thinking and his lingustic abilities.

It was a big mistake removing his character the show can only go down hill from here

My name is Peter Oletič, and i'm an 18 years old boy from a country called Slovenia. It's is in Middle Europe.

First I would like to tell U, that SG is the best series ever made. And it would be a waste letting Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) die. He's one of the four SG-1 original members. He CAN NOT be replaced. Whoever might take his place in the team, he can't. Daniel was in first place the man, who opened the door into space, and was the one responsible for countless victories over the enemies. He was there from the beginning of the series. I mean, if we look at an example: Your body, it works only properly, if all of your parts are there and intact. If you take Daniel away it will be as if you would remove your brain, heart or any other vital organ.

I can't accept the thought of not having Daniel in any other season, which may (and surely will) come. But not just Daniel. Please, don't take away any other team member. And I'm not the only person thinking like this. There are millions of us. So please give him a second chance. if not, a lot of people will stop looking SG. For we think (I might speak for almost all of us)that Daniel is essential for the well-beeing of the show.

Oh, one last thing, how can you do this to the fans? I mean, if you kick him out? How can U take a such major resposibility? As the boss, it's your job to keep the viewers satisfied, isn't it? And I guarantee, if you get rid of DJ, you'll fail your job. Because you will take away someone, who is (partly) the reasom that daily millions of viewers watch SG.

Thank you for taking the time and reading this letter. I hope that you will really consider what you'll do about DJ. And before you do anything, sit down, lay bac and consider what pros and cons will this action have.

In hopes for a wise decision, yours sincerely,

Peter Oletič

Once again Michael Shanks gave us a powerful performance and the other regular actors bounced off him to lift their performances.

By letting MS and the character of DJ go, the show is cheapened, the viewer is left poorer and another once wonderful, rich and intelligent show bites the dust. When will these people learn?

Hi,

this is Ulrike Lang writing to you. I am a big fan of STARGATE and have seen all episodes. I am very very sad that Daniel Jackson has left. Stargate without Daniel is not the same, because I miss his humor. His character is very special for the serie.

So please give the character another chance and reintegrate him. In our German papers we could read, that Michael Shanks was not satisfied with the role. So I think people can talk together and for every problem there is a solution.

Regards from Germany Ulrike Lang

Daniel Jackson is the heart and soul of Stargate and to be quite honest, the show stinks without him. You can replace any other character without too much damage… well… it may be tough to replace O’Neill but Jackson IS the show. Maybe we fans need to rally against Stargate (drop the ratings) until you either bring him back or it’s thrown on the shelf forever. Seam kind of extreme? Not at all… I admit I would miss it, but most of the Jackson fans are not interested in watching the show without him anyway, so we really have nothing to lose.

I hope it doesn’t come to this… and don’t think your loyal fans are not capable of doing this… because we are.

No Jackson – Boycott Stargate!!

I can get this message out to couple million fans in just 2 weeks, so think hard about it. We want Shanks back!! We expect a response from you soon.
