Hi!

I'm writing from Switzerland (Europe) to save our Daniel... so excuse me if I don't speak English very well...

I like "Stargate SG-1" since a long time and Daniel was always my favorite character. He's very intelligent (he's a genious!) but he doesn't want to misuse his talent: he's modest, generous and especially wise.

Daniel's the head and the heart of SG-1. Without him, O'Neill would always take bad decisions, like violent actions with weapons. Daniel is better: he negociates and understands the different people. He's a translator, a messenger. Without him, Sam would always considerate the scientifical aspect of the situation: Daniel knows that other powers can act. Without him, Teal'c would never open his mind. And without him, Hammond would obey to the bad orders of the government and do bad things.

Daniel is a part of the team! It's an heresy to leave him! SG-1 will be like cut down! And why? ...simply because people find Daniel Jackson too "intellectual". Fortunately, he's intelligent and has a lot of knowledges to share! If not, "Stargate SG-1" will be a stupid science-fiction serie like lots of others...

To Whom It May Concern - if it concerns anybody at all, which I begin to wonder...

Sci-fi fans willingly suspend their disbelief - it goes with the territory. For instance to power a wormhole the diameter of a pin-head would take a mass the size of Jupiter. We happily overlook that, otherwise there would be no programme. BUT, it is therefore incumbent on the writers to keep the strain on that suspension of disbelief to an absolute minimum.

The science, they can't do much about, but human reactions and relationships *are* within their control, so it's an insult to the intelligence to expect the fans to believe that the Pentagon would agree to S.G.C.'s employing in their foremost team, a guy who - by taking militarily sensitive material from his own country to a superior power which might, for all he knows, turn it against his own world - has already proved himself to be a Threat to National Security. Why should they believe he would be more loyal to an alien power? Even if it is the good old U.S. of A....

That alone, regardless of Quinn's trying to blame Jack's best friend for sabotage after he'd saved Quinn's life, renders his position in S.G.-1 a total non-starter.

And as for his colluding in letting Daniel take the fall, how could any true friend of Daniel's *ever* speak to him again - other than to say, "Get out of my sight and never darken my door again", that is?

As for what this has done to The Team, it's like taking a Chippendale table, sawing off one leg and replacing it with a short length of two-by-two. It is now neither beautiful nor stable enough to be functional.

By the end of Series 3, 'Stargate S.G.-1' was a family-friendly programme that was compulsive viewing. It wasn't broke, but someone just *had* to fix it...!

We love Stargate. We have been watching from the movie all the way to the present. Please bring Daniel back, as he is a central figure and the show is not the same without him. You cannot loose one of the central figures from a show without changing the show completely. Please bring back Daniel.

PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA - Sunday, August 25, 2002, 11:44 PM

To Whom It May Concern: I have been reading this website about saving Daniel Jackson from being written out completely from SG-1. I have to agree that there have been many liberties taken on the part of the writers in this show that have severely damaged it. When I see "Stargate SG-1 Starring: Richard Dean Anderson", I have a problem with that. I loved Richard as Macgyver, and am glad to see him working now. He has done well to develop the Jack O'Neal character. Unfortunately, what the writers forgot is, Jack O'Neal is not the star, he is a supporting part. In the movie, Stargate, Jack O'Neal was a supporting part that could easily be removed when neccessary. He was never meant to be the star. For some reason, the writers and producers seem to think us, as viewers, don't know that and have been in a coma during all the seasons of the show and didn't notice that they were promoting the wrong person in the show. The movie was primarily about Daniel Jackson and his discoveries and the people they discovered as a result. It was not about the guy who walked in with an AK-47 strapped to his back and a nuclear bomb in his bag ordering people around. The movie was not a military movie. It included military people because there was a need to. It was not about the military and how the military would deal with this situation. Stargate is NOT a reality TV show that needs to be grittier and darker to get ratings. We like it because it actually lifted our minds from the reality TV show sludge and gave us something to think about. We have had enough of the overbearing jerks carrying guns ordering people around. Give us a sensitive guy who cares about people and living things. And Heaven forbid that that sensitive guy might actually have a brain too! Something your muscle bound hero who can read fast is missing. With everything that has been going on towards the Daniel Jackson character, I don't blame Michael for leaving. But understand something, this is how Sliders began it's decent in to rerun land. They began changing characters, putting annoying people like Maggie on there with bad attitudes and more military people. They took out the people that started the show and left us with idiots who didn't have a clue what the show was about. They made it darker and more gritty. They now no longer have a show. Take a hint guys, we don't want that crap on our TVs!!!!! Sincerely, Jodi Chapman

We here in this part of Canada due to the choice of the Global Network, are just being Season 5. WHY? ASk Global..seems East and West Coast Canada got it in September but we here in the CHTV area started in June. Go figure? But I digress. I have heard about the departure of Daniel Jackson. I am not pleased. Daniel is an important and fundamental part of the SG1 team - it would be like losing a body part. Get Daniel back. My fave is still ( and always will be) Richard Dean Anderson but I think Col. Jack would be lost wihout one his best friends. Jack and Daniel are sympatico, it does not work without Daniel

St. Catharines, ON, CANADA - Sunday, August 25, 2002, 5:41 PM

Fue hace unos 5 dias aproximadamente que vi el episodio "Meridian". habia oido todo tipo de cosas acerca de esos 45 fatidicos minutos, cosas que me parecian exageradas y detalles que me comentaban y que yo creia que se les daba demasiadad importancia. Ahora he visto el episodio y mi vision ha cambiado. Ni siquiera puedo ver con los mismo ojos el proximo jueves, en el que emitan el siguiente episodio, ya sin Daniel Jackson. A la hora de analizas la marcha de Daniel de la serie, me quiero remontar al episodio anterior, si mas no, por no alejarme toda una temporada hacia atras. "The Sentinel".. ¿que clase de episodio es ese? Cuando lo vi era consciente de que en el siguiente episodio Daniel moriria, y precisamente, The Sentinel, es un episodio en el que Daniel pasa totalmente desapercibido. Ni se le da la menor importancia, y al sieguiente episodio muere. Y me duele ver que Daniel muere asi. Meridian empieza con un Daniel ya con prisas, como si tuviera prisa por irse de la serie, como si el episodio solo se hubiera echo para matarle, y listos. Stargate me tenia acostumbrado a otras cosas, a varias lineas argumentales concentradas en solo 45 minutos y todas de gran calidad. En Meridian solo es Daniel Muriendo, una experiencia ya de por si traumatica como para encima no suavizarla. Miren Chain reaction, Tenemos el problema con Hammond, y un trasfondo de accion con la base a punto de hacer "pumba!" por radiaciones (radiaciones, malditas radiaciones!) De meridian , no me gusta nada. empezando por lo mas obvio, que es la MUerte de daniel, y acabando por el aerguemtno general del episodio. Donde esta nuestro Daniel mocosete que vimos en la pelicula, intepretado por james Spader? vale! Todos sabemos que no puede ser lo mismo, lleva cinco años con una ametralladora en la mano, dos veces por semana, y eso, quieras que no te cambia! Pero jamas me hubiera visto a Daniel lanzandose contra un cristal! Ese no es mi Daniel! Otro asunto, Jonas! Cuando la gente me comentaba lo del apodo "Judas" no llo acabab de entender, pense que era un reproche hacia la serie por la perdida de Daniel, pero es que de veras... es un tio que no me cae nada bien!No me gusta su entrada en la serie, (pienso que es una gran cagada encontrar al sustituto de Daniel en el mismo episodio en que muere), no me gusta como es, ni de donde es, ni el hecho de que sus conocimientos y los de Daniel sean similares. hay centenares de detalles en Meridian que no me gustan, ke hace decaer a la serie entera. La 5ta temporada me ha gustado en general, ha habido algun mal episodio, y otros my buenos, pero Meridian es un episodio malissimo en todos los aspectos, y me sorprende que el buen ritmo que la serie llevaba se rompa asi de facilmente. me parece fatal que hayan decidido hacer abandonar la serie a Daniel, y aun peor el como lo han llevado. Si son un poco listos, Daniel volvera, y desde aqui quiero invitarles a que lo hagan, porque si quieren ver el bajon de la serie, los propios producotres, guinostas y todo el equipo deberian ver (porque me da la sensacion de que aun no lo han echo) Meridian al completo. Yo pienso que Stargate ya no sera lo que era, porque la serie la hacian los 4 juntos, eran el grupo. Y no solo por Daniel sino por el caracter comico que le han dado a Teal'c, o la actitud ultima de hammond (en meridian, no se le ve muy preocupado por Daniel)... y un largo, largissimo etc de incongruencias poco fieles a la esencia de la serie.

En definitiva, el equipo de la serie deberia haberse planteado el viejo metodo anticonceptivo de la marcha atras hace unos meses, porque quizas, cada semana que pasa, sea demasiado tarde y los fans den a luz muy pronto unos indices de audiencia penosos.

De todas formas, calma y tranquilidad, de acuerdo?

I FELT LOST WHEN THE CHARACTER OF DANIEL WAS REPLACED INT THE SHOW. HE WAS THE MOST INTERESTING CHARACTER AND I LOOKED FORWARD TO SEEING HIM APPEAR ON THE SHOW EVERY SINGLE EPISODE. IT WAS LIKE LOSING SOMETHING YOU HAVE HAD FOR A LONG TIME AND IT,S GONE. HOPING TO HAVE IT RETURNED TO YOU SOMEDAY. HIS CHARACTER WAS ALSO VERY IMFORMATIVE AND HE PRESENTED IT VERY WELL, AND A GREAT BELIEVABLE PERSON. PLEASE RETURN DANIEL HE MADE THE SHOW THE GREATEST AND WHAT PEOPLE WHO LOVE THE SHOW LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING AND NOT WANTING A REPLACEMENT. IT'S NOT THE SAME!!!!!!!!!

I have been a fan of Stargate since the very beginning. Daniel Jackson is the only link through out the whole series and the film that keeps it all together. It would be a pitty for the show to lose such a good character and quality actor such as Michael Shanks.

Dave Browne <manic_idiot@yahoo.co.uk>
Essex, UK - Sunday, August 25, 2002, 12:43 PM

hi,

I heard recently that Michael Shanks, the actor who plays Daniel Jackson, will not be playing that role anymore on a show by show basis. I just want to say that that actor and character are essential part of the show and the show will not be worth watching without that actor/character. What's cool about the show is how it combines both history and space/futurism. The Daniel Jackson character played by Michael Shanks performed that function in a way that made the show very interesting to watch. His character is one of the most interesting ones because it allows stories to develop themes that are interesting to watch because they involve history. The show will be much less worth watching without him. Please return him to the show.

I ran across Stargate early this year at 11:00 pm on Sunday nights (I do not have cable or dish) & I have fallen in love with the show. In fact, I was just going to the web page to see about purchasing the 1st & 2nd season when I stumbled upon the fact that the character Daniel Jackson is being removed from the show! Please, the characters are great & the raport with each other, especially the witty comraderie, are a joy to watch. I enjoy each character's many facets which the writers & actors bring to their roles. Each one is important to the show. Don't lose a valuable piece of the whole. Please bring Daniel Jackson back.

Brad Wright Executive Producer of Stargate SG-1

Dear Sir I have Just finished watching the episode in which Daniel Jackson dies. (MGM in Spaninsh - August 24th) From MY point of view the character is fundamental to the series. He is the one who discovered how the Stargate worked in the first place. He is the one who works out communication problems with each new culture they meet. He is the one who break every ancient language they unearth. For ME, SG-1 team is perfectly well balanced as it is. Each member is well diferenciated from the others. If you want something different bring a new team member in but DO NOT erase one of them in such a lousy way (even if Daniel's death was a valiant one, it seems to me that it was loosely thought, as if you didn't think to kill him at the beginning of the season). The SG-1 Team as it was is one of the stongest and best developed characters SF series ever had, even better than Star Trek or Babylon-5. You still have time to correct it. Sincerely BRUNO JOSÉ VARANI

Bruno José Varani <brunovarani@hotmail.com>
Martinez, Buenos Aires - Saturday, August 24, 2002, 8:00 PM

To Whom It May Concern,

About a year ago a SG-1 fan turned me on to the show. She did so by sending me several seasons of taped shows. After the first few episodes I was hooked. I became very comfortable with Daniel, Jack, Sam and Teal'c as a team. To me it was evident that they cared about each other, and the team began to feel like a family to me. I loved seeing them together, and the blending of different personalities, and gifts and abilities. Perfect.

I have not caught up with the current seasons, and am dependant on my friend to send me the reruns. One of the things I've considered doing is getting additional cable services so I can see SG-1 current run. But I have to tell you, knowing Daniel's character is missing, gives me a sinking feeling, and it can't possibly be the same without him and the contribution his particular personality brought to the team/family.

It's encouraging to think he might return, and I certainly would want that to happen, and hope it does. I don't believe the show will be as successful without Daniel. To me it's the beginning of death for the show. No one can fill Daniel's place. I know I can't be as excited about seeing the upcoming episodes, knowing Daniel is not a part of SG-1.

Please do whatever is necessary to bring back the family and dream team.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Brenda Andrews

To whom it may concern,

My purpose of this letter is question the decision of eliminating "Daniel Jackson" from Star Gate! He's a great charachter for the show. My wife doesn't really care for Jonas and wishes Daniel was back. I like Jonas, yes, but I'd love to see Daniel make a full comeback to the series. I don't know who was ultimately responsible for the decision to let him go but they obviously made a huge mistake! I hope this letter gets to somebody and is read and thought about and not just swept under the rug. I belive many fans like me and my family hope you do the right thing and bring him back regardless of what it takes to make it correct. The writers and producers of the show are fandamntastic, I don't think it would be hard to bring him back, even if it seemed cheesey, I'd still gobble it up, and be giddy to see him back! Please listen to the fans, were the ones who ultimatley decide if the show makes it or breaks it. Too many times were the ones who suffer because of stupid decisions made from higher up! (example: baseball) Please give us what we want, a geeky guy who we have come to love and enjoy and no substitute will do!

LAMENTO NO PODER ESCRIBIRLES EN INGLES... SIN EMBARGO ESPERO QUE ESTO SEA SIGNIFICATIVO PUES EL PERSONAJE DE DANIEL HA IDO MAS ALLA DE LAS FRONTERAS DEL IDIOMA.

SOLO DANIEL JACKSON HIZO POSIBLE QUE SOPORTARAMOS, MUCHAS VECES, LOS ARRANQUES IMPERIALISTAS DEL CORONEL O'NEIL. DANIEL ERA LA IMAGEN DE LA TOLERANCIA, DE LOS PACIFISTAS LUCHANDO POR UN MUNDO MEJOR, DE LA RAZON Y LA IMAGINACIÓN POR ENCIMA DE LA FUERZA.

CÓMO PODREMOS VIVIR EN UN MUNDO SIN DANIEL? NO VEO COMO. CREO QUE LA SERIE HA PERDIDO SU MAS IMPORTANTE PERSONAJE, SU VERDADERO PROTAGONISTA Y EL ÚNICO QUE JUSTIFICABA QUE LA LLAMARAMOS DE CIENCIA FICCIÓN Y NO FUERA SOLAMENTE OTRA DE ESAS TANTAS SERIES DE ACCIÓN Y VIOLENCIA QUE INUNDAN LA TELEVISIÓN.

ESPERO QUE DANIEL REGRESE ALGÚN DIA DE FORMA PERMANENTE, PERO MIENTRAS TANTO, LOS FANS DE SG1 EN AMERICA LATINA, MANTENDREMOS NUESTRAS PANTALLAS APAGADAS. NO QUEREMOS UN SG1 SIN DANIEL JACKSON.

GRACIAS POR LOS AÑOS DE SG1 QUE NOS DIERON Y DE LOS BUENOS RATOS DE ENTRETENIMIENTO... HASTA PRONTO

Sheffield Lake, Ohio - Saturday, August 24, 2002, 6:12 PM

To MGM and the others who were so shortsighted enough to destroy an excellent program by taking out the main character. I have watched the show since the very beginning, having enjoyed the movie so much. I love sci-fi and have been a trekkie since I was a very young girl. The show as far as I am concerned evolved as a result of the original movie of which Daniel Jackson, (played by James Spader, was the main character. I can't believe you have even considered allowing the pivot of the show to leave without fighting to keep him in any way you could. When the last season ended I honestly thought there would be a twist to the plot which brought Jackson back, in one form or another. But 'NO' to my great horror and disappointment there was none. Dr. Daniel Jackson is truly out of the show, not a wise move by the powers to be. You survive in this business through us the public, giving us what we want and we don't want this at all so why have you gone down this lonely road? Please tell me! I will not be watching the show in the near future, whats the point you seem to have lost the plot. I have been a loyal and true fan since the beginning so that gives me the right to air my true feeling on this matter. I sit and watch re-runs whenever they are on TV no matter how many times I have seen that particular episode, what more do you want! I know I must speak for so many of the fans, 'WE WANT DANIEL JACKSON BACK IN THE SHOW', or we will not watch it! How clearer can we be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe you are so close to the situation you can't see what is most obvious, the show needs him. Please, please, please make the right move! Anyone can make a mistake but it take a very big man to admit it and an even bigger man to correct his mistakes. BE THAT MAN! For the future of the show, I for one would want the show to run for many years as is possible with all the characters it had orginally started with. I have watched so many show that replace a character with another actor and over time you do get used to them as if the other never existed. This will never happen with STARGATE, we the fans deserve more! WE DEMAND MORE! I stay a true loyal fan of the show but for me the show has already ended. Please I beg you reconsider your actions.

To: MGM, Sci-Fi Channel and Mr. Brad Wright;

THis is to express my concern and disappointment over the departure of Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) from Stargate SG1. Daniel is an essential character to the story. While Jonas is ok....we miss Daniel very much. It's just not the same. You have taken a crucial element from the SG1 team away. The chemistry with the actors and their relationships on screen are the story! You remove any one of them and you leave a huge hole that cannot be filled.

Please bring Michael Shanks back as Daniel and give him more air time. What is the problem with that? You may not care about him, but we the fans...the ones who watch the show do. Needless to say, I will not watch anymore new episodes until Michael Shanks is returned as Daniel.

Respectfully; Jody Fraser

Hi, I just need to say anywhere, and here I know you may understand me. I'd seen meridian only once, month after the first airing I take the suficient courage to see it. And I did'nt dislike the episode, it was that I just can't stand what they've done to Daniel. But then I watch Abyss, and hope reburn inside me, I just love Abyss. Yesterday Meridian was airing in Spain for first time, and I have the opportunity, sort of, to watch in tv. I couldn't. But today I was alone and I've do it. Despite the fact that I'm totally dissapointed with the episode and I really hate the end, knowing that he would come back in abyss made it easier to watch it. And I came through all the episode with only some tears.

It's different when you know what happen in abyss. But I'm still very dissapointed with them.

I just want to say that I have enjoyed watching StarGate for a few years now. I thought the four characters worked very well together. I liked Daniel and was dissapointed that he has left the show. He made the show more interesting to watch. He is an attractive man and a good actor. I am disappointed to see that he is gone. I think he deserves to have a more regular part like the other characters on the show do. Hope to see Daniel back as a regular character if that is what he chooses to do.

I have been watching SG-1 for a number of years, And although I really like all of the sci-fi stories the real reason I watch the show has always been because of Michael Shanks and his character Daniel Jackson. I believe that he is the heart and soul of the show and without him the show will slowly wither and die. As a loyal viewer I sincerly hope that the people in charge will take our request to bring Daniel Jackson back to heart. After all it is in their best interest! Sincerely and hopefully yours, Eran

To Whom this may concern, I love watching Stargate Sg-1 I'm right now watching season 6 but there is just something about it that just doesn't get me anymore. Daniel Jackson is missing. He is what made the show. Him and Jack O'Neill. They way they bonded and all. What was the purpose of having Daniel on the show if you knew that he was going to eventually leave or you were going to make him wallpaper. I just don't find that fair. I'm sure there are lots of things that Dr. Daniel Jackson could do on that show. You made Major Sam Carter smarter and more up to beat. Why can't you do that with Dr. Daniel Jackson. The show to me is now boring without Daniel. I wish to see him back on the show. He's very important part of it. He is a great person and all. Sincerely, Sheila

Dear Hank Cohen,

With the absence of Daniel Jackson of SG-1, the show has lost a must needed creative insight of the show. The character brings forth deeper insight into the story line of particuler situation of each episode.

Simply, bring the character back.

The decay of SG-1 is noticeable. By adding Daniel Jackson into the show, it restores the full dynamics that MGM worked so hard to establish in the first 3 years. Thus the creative presence will be reached to full potential. This will enable MGM to further the presence of SG-1.

Sincerely,

Scott Kilpatrick Stargate Fan

Daniel Jackson (Micheal Shanks) has always been helping Colonel O'Neill, Captain Carter, and Teal'k save the world ever since I started watching the show. I don't want that legacy to die. I don't understand why you don't want to let him hold a zat gun anymore. Mr. Shanks is perfect for the job of Daniel Jackson. No one can ever replace him. Please make him a permanant member of the SG-C. Sincerly, Randy maxfield 2nd

Dear Si-fi Network,

I think everybody at your network are all idiots. Daniel Jackson was the best person on the stupid show. That was the only reason I started wathching it in the first place. I thought the way Daniel and O'neil interacted on the show was the best. My fayorite episode is Season 1, Volume 5, Episode 24, There But For The Grace Of God. If you don't remenber which episode that is it is the one were Daniel is transported to an alternate reality on Earth were the Gou'ld have taken over.

BRING BACK DANIEL JACJSON PLEASE

Sinceraly,

Amanda Nugent

P.S. For for the misspelled words if there are any

To Whom This may consern: Let me start by saying Stargate SG 1 is the greatest thing since T.V all together. Without Daniel Jackson the show would be nothing, it does not matter who you take away the show becomes meaningless.I mean how many times has Daniel helped the team out of trouble with his knowledge and skills. The show needs him without him its like a tennis player losing his thumbs.Please Im bagging you bring him back.

My name is Alison Hodges and I am addressing you today about keeping Michael Shanks's charecter Daniel Jackson in stargate. Now if it wasn't for the help of Daniel Jackson the stargate would not of been in buisnes. If you remember the charecter of Daniel Jackson has been around since the stargate movie was made so getting rid of him now would be like taking the main charecter off the show. Daniel Jackson has been very useful in not only decoding the stargate but his skills in lanuages and especially his knowledge of ancient egypt and their gods have come in handy alot. I am begging you please do not get rid of him. Not only myself but the majority of the fans of stargate would be very disapointed if Daniel Jckson was to leave. On a personal note Daniel Jackson is a big insperation of mine because he is a Egyptologist which is my dream job and Daniel has biught me a step closer to encoureging me to persue my career. Thankyou for your time

I am writing to you because of your decision to take the character "daniel Jackson" played by Michael Shanks out of the Stargate sg-1 series. I hope you know that he one of the very most loved characters in all SCI-FI history, his character was the very first to appear in the the movie"Stargate" and without him the show, the sg teams and the whole sg program would not exist. He is the building block for anything to do with stargate, he is the absolute brain, without him all the stargate characters would no longer exist, he has saved their lives a dozon times, with his knowledge of all languages and anything about how the stargate works. HOw could you cut out such an important character? Do you relize that Daniel Jackson is extremely improtant to some people? Without him the shows rating will drop enormously, because alot of people cannot attatch to change and especialy when their favourite character leaves.

If Michael Shanks is upset about not being able to play Daniel Jackson anymore, then dont you think it is a bit unfiar not letting him do so. Im sure he relises the significance and power his character has over many people. This may seem strange to you but alot of people out there take stargate alot more seriously than just a television show,. there are conventions , clubs, gatherings all dedicated to stargate. Do you just want to ruin what some people take so seriously and hold so close to their hearts?

Please do not ruin what a fabulous creation stargate has become over the past years.

yours sincerly J.C

Tallinn, Estonia - Thursday, August 22, 2002, 9:02 AM

Dear sir

It is with great regret that I find myself putting pen to paper and airing my views on what is probably the greatest mistake made by MGM. I refer, of course, on the departure of Michael Shanks as Dr. Daniel Jackson, from the show Stargate SG-1.

It is somewhat hard to believe that in the beginning of this new century, mankind is yet to re-discover his humanity. In a place where success is measured by the number of viewers, revenue generated and the popularity of the show, to allow one of the major characters to depart without any effort to retain their asset, does not make sense to the logical mind. Where has our sense of compassion vanished to, for which mankind has portrayed himslef in numerous shows? Where has the sense of profit making disappeared to that is so obviously the only factor driving Tinstle Town?

To allow Michael Shanks leave the Stargate SG-1 series is an unsound decision, both financially and emotionally.

We, in the United Kingdom, are deeply depressed on hearing the circumstances in which Michael Shanks, as a last resort, resigned from the show. To find out that he was thought of as diposable, unwanted and inconsequential has left us dazed, dumbfound and debilitated. To try to comprehend why no one tried to stop him boggles the mind.

Michael Shanks has played a vital role on the show as member of the SG-1 team. He did not play a minor role and without his character the show would not be where it is today.

The first three episodes vibrant, thrilling, envigorating and refreshing; one could go on for an eternity using adjectives to describe the show. Dr. Jackson introduced a human element on discovering the universe and stating 'We come in peace,' as opposed to the military mind of entering a new civilsation fully armed to the teeth in preparation for an all out war.

Upon watching the series throught the years, it was apparent that Michael Shanks's character was being given less and less importance. I understand that all major characters have to be given time to explore, as long as the explorations are equally divided and not at the expense of one character, as it seems to be in this case. This demonstrates how Michael Shanks was thought of by the production staff. It is a shame to see this as Michael Shanks is a reputable actor and it is always an honour to watch him as he gives completely 100% to his role.

I understand that he has shown an interest in rejoining the series and to be a part of the second feature film, though only if the character of Dr. Jackson was given the opprtunity to be himself again. It would be wise to ask him to return as his absence would have a colossal effect on the revenue of the show. Word of mouth is the best and worst form of advertisement. With our hearts full of sorrow, we are completely appalled at the method in which this whole fiasco has taken place. If, for instance, a customer is not happy with the goods bought, not only will he not purchase any further products from the company, but he would also write and complain to them and inform other friends, colleagues and acquaintences; which, in turn, would cause the sales of the company to follow a path of exponential decay.

No doubt, you would have received thousands of letters similar to mine, urging you to ensure that Michael Shanks makes a full and complete return to Stargate SG-1. Please do not ignore them. This level of feed back informs you the how vital a role Michael Shanks played on the show. If not for the viewers than re-instate him for monetary reasons, as I assure you, you would see a rapid decline in the number of viewers and that would have a mammoth effect on the sales.

Yours faithfully

Hello-Kaixo. Bazeneki ze pozgarria izango litzatekeeen berriro Dniel Jackso doktorea ikustea? Would you know how great it could be watchinhg Dr Daniel Jackson again? First line is basque, one of the oldest pre-latin languages in Europe. I think without Daniel SG-1 may fall in the same mistakes the original movie fell into. In my opinion one of the most attractive aspects was the fact with dealing with more complex conflicts than a pure sici-fi-shoot-them-up-show so Daniel was the balance, the other way to solve troubles. There were many excuses to involve him in the new arcs of the show. Future societies are societies too and they may be studied. Its terribly sad and unfair for the actor himself.

Ocean Shores, Washington - Thursday, August 22, 2002, 3:44 AM

Michael Shanks is one of, if not THE, most important and influential members of the Stargate team. After all, it wasn't possible for them to develop the series without the assistance of Daniel Jackson, was it? Right from the start, he played a major role as an Assyriologist, Egyptologist, archaeologist, linguistics expert and specialist in Babylonian cuneiform.

As an Australian, I have not yet had the misfortune of seeing Stargate without Daniel. However, just seeing the photographs of his ascension made me want to cry. For those who have not been on the stargate website (www.stargate-sg1.com), there are many fans there from all over the world who want Daniel/Michael back. The show will not be the same without him. Jonas Quinn . . . who is he? He doesn't have the same depth of character, the same fan-following, the same personality as Daniel Jackson.

To all of the producers/writers out there, don't be silly. Bring him back. Here's a point to consider - how are the ratings?? Those pre-Ascension and post-Ascension? How could you kill off one of the greatest (and cutest) people in the show?

Hey, if he isn't brought back soon, there's probably going to be quite a few fans out there who will quit watching the show . . . particularly if "Jack" (Richard Dean Anderson) also leaves.

I think person that is sitting behind the desk at MGM should take a step back and reconsider all that is going on. If you think about it how can someone as good and smart as "Jackson" be taken off the show. He is the only one that can read or figure the languages out. How can you just up and say bye bye to Michael's part like that. Lets just say if it were a mutual decision then you would have thought that they would at least prepare every one by gradualy bringing in the new person. But personaly I think the only person that is good enough and right for the part of the "4th" person in Sg-1 should be the character Daniel Jackson. He is an original character from the move and the one that figured out how to use the gate to begin with.

To Producer and Stargate-SG1 members in the origional movie it was Daniel who opened the stargate and even though the Actors and Crew make the show StarGate-SG1 work. it all began with the 7th seal that opened the Gate and Daniel was the one who opened the gate who better would be the one to continue one with new and even better finds, I sure the writters have room to find other gates to new and exciteing space travel to be located from the StarGate. also On the Scfi channel they said something about a contest for someone to play a one spot show if you would Id like details on it.

I don't care Stargate SG-1 anymore because the only reason why I watched Stargate SG-1 was because of Michael Shanks playing Daniel Jackson (in HUMAN form). I have no interest in the new episodes of Stargate SG-1. PLease only e-mail me back if you are telling me that you have worked something out with Michael and he has agreed to come back to the show (or upcoming movie) in human form as Daniel Jackson.

Idea for movie SG-1 decide that they need Daniel back so they go to the alien planet that brought them back to life before. They find Daniel's body (or use the energy squid) to bring Daniel back. He comes back to life and rejoins SG-1. Jonas moves to a new SG team or has to go back to his home planet for some reason. Daniel and O'Niell think back to the first episode. They remeber Skaa'ra and Sha're. O'Niell states that they should find them and reverse the Go'uld process they've done that to most of SG-1 before, so why not to Skaa'ra and Sha're?)

If you went with that idea then the Daniel Jackson fans would be incrediably happy and you won't get bugged by them anymore

Dear Sirs at MGM and the Sci-Fi Channel, I am writting to you as I was unaware of the fact that you were removing Michael Shanks from the Stargate SG1 program. I can not believe that you would have consider that he was not an important star on the program. In fact he is the only orginal star from the movie. From what I can see I am not alone in the fan club of people who want to see him brought back to the Startgate SG1 program. The new guy is not Michale and does not even begin to replace him on the program. It really has not been the same without Michael's charater on Stargate and as a fan of the program I just want to let you know how I feel and that I rally miss Michale on the program very much so. Thank you for your time. Laura Papa

I have been an avid fan of Stargate since I first saw the original movie, which included Michael Shanks in his role as Dr. Daniel Jackson. The series is just not the same without him. It's still an awesome show, but, it's not the same, and maybe that's what you were striving for. I like Joshua's character, but, I believe he would be better suited in a different role and not trying to fill Daniels' shoes. Please bring Daniel back.

We feel Daniel was the human factor in Stargate, the original nerd,who made everyone think that gate travel was possible. We need his human presence. He was so brilliant but could talk to Jack and make him understand. We feel this essential character should be written back in to SG-1. Everyone we have talked to have been terribly upset that he is not there. He was the glue that held the team together. You just love him. Thanks Please bring him back. We have been fans from the very beginning. And Daniel was one of the reasons why.

I think it was a bad decision on the producers of the show to let Daniel go after we had gotten used to having him in the show. I also think that he was a good actor and that he deserved a better storyline than what he had gotten. I think that the show has been more of the other actors than anything else and that the fans of the show was getting shafted.

I think the fans deserve to see Daniel back on the show and a stronger storyline to boot. So please bring Daniel back so we his fans can begin to enjoy the show again.

IF, THIS IS THE PERSON WHO HAS THE ARCHELOGICAL KNOWLEDGE AND THIS SHOW IS ABOUT VISITING OTHER PLANETS. THEY NEED DANIEL JACKSON TO HELP THEM OUT. THE REST OF THE TEAM WONT HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE THAT DANIEL JACKSON KNOWS. IT IS NOT A GOOD MEMBER TO TAKE OUT. YOU SHOULD GET RID OF TEALC.

PASCO, WASHINGTON - Tuesday, August 20, 2002, 6:42 PM

Hi: Seven years ago, the release of a film, which would change for me the course of history within science fiction movies, was advertised at the cinemas throughout my country. Seven years ago I discovered that it was possible to travel through a machine to a world where the Egyptian culture was something more than lost objects in the desert. Thanks to that film and the adventure lived by a group of military men and an archaeologist despised by the scientific community because of his theories, I learnt how great the Egyptian culture could be. That film named Stargate made me see that science fiction, taken with ancient cultures to the big screen, doesn´t have to be something senseless or totally fictional. It made me see that science fiction can be based in the present time and not in the far future, and be just as incredible. Three years ago, that film was broadcast on TV. When I sat in front of the TV to see the first episode of the Stargate SG-1 series, I was even more impressed than with the film. My favourite characters in the film, O´Neill and Jackson, were being played as perfectly as they were played in the original movie. I became addicted to the series from the first episode, and followed it, week after week, each new adventure. I discovered in each episode a new culture with its knowledge, knowing that what I was told in it had its truth and its fiction, both of them equally justifiable.. Day by day, here in Spain, I have seen four whole seasons and still no episode has let me down. Some days ago I read that one of its principal characters, Michael Shanks, who during all this time has played the role of Daniel Jackson, as well as his predecessor James Spader, is leaving the series. I know that the producers have been thinking about how to end the series for about a year, maybe more, and I still can´t understand why, having this in mind, they have decided to end with Daniel Jackson one season before the very end of the series. It was only one more season, which would have made its fans so happy, seeing the series end with all its original components. Just one more season. I´ve read in Internet that Michael himself decided to leave the series because it was becoming more military in its final seasons. I think that, until know, they have managed to perfectly mix both parts within the series, the military and the scientific, and that´s why I don´t understand why in its final phase this has to change. I can´t believe that there aren´t more storylines to work with at this moment, because the simple fact of travelling through the Stargate to other planets basing Earth culture like others in the Universe, gives the opportunity to create not only one more season, but many more. There are still many themes that they haven´t touch yet and that could be an incredible opportunity to develop. And If you have a look at the fan´s webs where they write their own scripts. I´m sure that you will be surprised. With this letter I only want to back up many people like myself, lovers of the Stargate series, who want Michael Shanks back again as its protagonist. We ask you to have a look back and review those episodes from the first seasons and see that the series can still give much more, and which, without our Doctor Daniel Jackson, won´t be the same any more. For seven years the role of Jackson has made us more curious about ourselves, about our past, about those cultures which are the base of Humanity. He has been the balance between the military side of the series and its more human part. At this time Jackson has become O´Neill the same way O´Neill has become Jackson. Don´t let the magic created between both characters, magic created since Stargate was created, to change. I hope that these words will make you understand how important it is for all of us, who have followed the Stargate series from the beginning, to see how it is reaching its end just as strong as it began, and with everyone who formed part of it since its beginning. Get back Daniel Jackson for this last sixth season, and if the second movie finally continues its filming, we hope that all the actors will be in it. Prove the fact that all films which are really good can conclude just like they began, being still the best of all. Yours sincerely: Amaunet

I recommend you make every effort to bring back this key individual that, when combined with the other main characters, you will have a series that will be a hallmark series for Sci-Fi.

Bottom Line: Let's get Daniel back in the fight!

Daniel was the one who made the stargate work in the first place. He was smart and insightful. And to get rid of him is one thing, but to try and replace him in the manner done so was painful to myself and others. To bring him back would rekindle the love I have for the show and insure so in many others as well.

Daniel Jackson is by far the best member of the SGC-life without him would be unthinkable, I mean, you've got a tongue-tied ex-goa'uld, an old guy with no technical know-how, and, although there's nothing wrong with Carter-WHAT IS SHE THINKING!Col. O'Neill?Get a grip-Daniel would be a much better love interest, he's more her age, and, no offense to Jack, but more on her wavelength. SAVE DANIEL JACKSON, whatever the cost!

TO: All the Powers that BE dealing with Stargate SG-1

I have been a loyal follower of this TV series, since the very beginning...which goes back to the motion picture "Stargate". I have watched the TV series at its beginning on the ShowTime Cable Network; and now followed it onto the SciFi TV Channel.

I am writing to all of you today as I wish to make my feelings known about what/how/why one of my favorite scfi shows is falling short of the high marks it once held for me. For one, you let one of the principal characters/actors leave; and in such a way that it really crushed me!! And since Daniel's character is gone, the show has lost its ensemble connection for me. All of the characters, that wonderful ensemble cast, made that show for me...and held it all together....NOW without this main character, the show has fallen....as well as the current storylines that are happening, now on the SciFi Channel, that too, has caused me to wonder if I can still be loyal, and want to watch this show anymore....as it just does not have the same Appeal for me...or draw to want to watch it!!! And for me to be saying this...is really hard, as I have loved this show, and all of the cast from its beginning....and now the show just does not have the same draw,appeal, zest, nor energy that it once drew me to want to watch it. Even if Michael Shanks character, Daniel, were still there, at present, the storylines that have been shown on the SciFi Channel...just do not do that show justice ...as to the previous seasons I have seen on the ShowTime Channel; where have the good writers of this show gone??

I do not wish to blast or blame any one of you today in this letter. But yet to state an opinion, and my feelings, from one loyal viewer and fan of this great show; in the hopes to show all of you that there is for sure something wrong and not quiet right with this show now. It is something that YOU need to address and correct, otherwise I will not have to decide whether to continue to watch Stargate SG-1 on the SciFi Channel, as it will no longer be on that Channel; as it will have been cancelled, and no longer in production. In that case ...I will just continue to watch it on the syndicated network in rerun form, and only up to season five. Mine is just a single voice and opinion here, but I know that there are others that feel as I do, and that perhaps have taken the time, effort, and put their thoughts down to you as well....In either case, you cannot ignore what WE, the followers and watchers of this show represent...as well as what our buying dollars do to keep this show, and others in production and going.

I hope that I have given YOU all something to think about, as well as something to set in motion to correct. This show deserves more than what it is producing at present. I wish to see the greatness return to it...as to why I am writing this letter to you today. In fact this is the first time that I have ever taken such a step before, in making my voice heard about a show that means so much to me...!!! I do thank all of you for your time and consideration over this matter with this show; and hope to get some kind of response back from you at a latter date.

With Sincere Regards,

Dear MGM, My 2 sons (ages 11 and 14) have enjoyed watching SG-1 since it was available on our cable service. We watch very little else on TV, and almost nothing else together. The character of Daniel Jackson especially appealed to my 11-year-old, who is very bright, and related well to the character. He has been devastated since the character was axed. Please bring him back. I see potential in the Corin character, if developed, but greatly miss the academic contribution to the show.

I have never written a fan letter before, because I never thought it would do any good. I am taking a chance on this one and I hope that you will take viewer comments like mine into consideration.

Please bring back the Daniel Jackson character to his rightful place in your hit show, Stargate SG-1.

Stargate SG-1 is the only reason why I subscribed to the Showtime network. It feels rather different without the Daniel Jackson character.

I wish you all much success in the near future and look forward to experiencing all the new shows with Daniel Jackson to come.

Thank you,

Hi there!

I'm also a big fan of Stargate SG-1 and of course of the character Daniel Jackson. Of course I want him back too and of course I'll support your campain; the first step would be writing this letter to you. Hopefully you'll succeed in bringing him back cause I, and my mother, won't watch the show in future if he's not in it.

Best wishes for succes,

Bettina.

Michael Shanks added tones of passion and feeling to the character of Daniel Jackson in Stargate: SG1. Removing him from the show has removed that special touch that all shows need to be successful. I am certainly not playing down the value and excellent acting of the other actors, but for me the character of Daniel Jackson is vital to the addictive and thoroughly engrossing nature of the show. I watch the show less and less now that Michael Shanks no longer appears as Daniel - a fact that utterly disappoints me, as Stargate: SG1 was a fantastic show thanks to ALL of the actors who starred in it (yes, even the minor characters added to that feel!).

It is my belief that the show will slowly die, it's popularity lessened following the removal of one of it's key original characters.

Dear Mr. Cohen,

Please give Michael Shanks and the Daniel Jackson character a leading role if and when there is a Stargate movie. Also if there's going to be another season, he should return and have the same amount of screen time as do the others. He really is an intrinsic part of the team. Jonas Quinn just doesn't cut it.

I'm realy disapointed that Micheal Shanks has left the show. Daniel was my favorite character, and I miss seeing him. He is brilliant and very interesting. It is realy too bad that the show did not continue to moive in a direction that could use his character. Please bring him back into the show or have him guest star in every episode!

The character of Daniel Jackson must return to Stargate. If the character was deliberately written out that was stupid and the poor writers who eliminated the character are the ones who should lose their jobs for being bozos. Yes much of the scientific and analytical duties have shifted to Sam, but Daniel's ability as a linguist is unchallenged. It was he who stayed behind in the original movie to be with his wife, he who lost his wife to Apohis and much more and yet his importance never waned. Bring the character back!!!

I can not believe that they would take away the main character how stupid can those idiots be. You take Daniel jackson out of the equation and you take out the point to watching the Stargate Sg-1 after all they would never be able to do any of the stuff that they can do now if it wasn't for Daniel. He has to come back or the show is going to suffer there was such a team spirit before now it kind of like what is the point of watching. Those idiots at MGM better get their stuff together or they are going to ruin a perfectly good show. Any way Daniel has to get back together with his Abedos friends and family he was just to depressed when he died like he thought he didn't do anything good when in all actuallity he did. His friends need him but when he comes back he needs to come back with more adventure and hope inside of him. He is a wonderfull well rounded character that was created but there still is some depth of the character that still needs to be explored and thought threw. Maybe the writers need to think of more ways to use and define his as more than just a smart guy. That would be the smart thing to do.

I don't think anyone could call me a rabid Daniel Jackson fan, but... I was only an irregular viewer of the series before the sixth season (mainly because I could never get the local market's airing schedule down), and even I was annoyed and affronted by the attempt to slip the Jonas character into the Daniel slot. It's just not working for me! I'm not sayin' that Jonas shouldn't continue to work with SGC, but I think Daniel added more to the team dynamic than Jonas does, or can. Apologies to Corin Nemec, but his character just seems a bit 2-dimensional to me!

I'm just sayin' that I feel the show would benefit from Michael Shank's return!

in the vast wasteland of sub-mediocrity that is the t.v. landscape of today stargate sg1 stands apart as a beacon of very high quality entertainment. michael shanks is one of the main reasons why this is so. he brings to the character of daniel jackson a many-layered and in-depth subtlety of intelligence and highly interested yet scientifically detached intensity that is unmatched on the t.v. landscape today. the show will not be the same without him. please keep him on board. signed...a big fan.

To whom it may concern,

Upon reading an interview it was hinted that there may be a 7th season that will have Daniel descending for some episodes but he won't be returning fully. I think that if there is a season 7, that Daniel Jackson should be included in it as much as possible. After all Michael Shanks has said that he would like to return to the show and the fans want him back.

I really hope that if there is a 7th season Daniel will descend and become a permanent member of SG-1 again. I miss Daniel and Jack's argumentive relationship and the way Daniel was always there when someone needed him. I hope that the makers of Stargate will do everything to get Michael Shanks to return as a main character....the way he should be.

I don't understand how they could just get rid of Daniel Jackson and replace him with Jonas Quinn, who is similar to Daniel in many ways...but he is not our Daniel. We want Daniel back in his rightful place in Stargate SG-1, we don't want a danny-clone! Return Michael Shanks and the much loved Daniel Jackson to SG-1. So that we can sit down and watch the TEAM including Daniel Jackson fight the goa'uld TOGETHER. Re-unite the team as one

I have been watching Stargate SG1 for about 5 years. I was very disappointed when I found out that the character Daniel was not going to be returning for the sixth season. His character was the most intelligent character I have seen on a science fiction series. There were many times the team would not have survived if it was not for his intelligence. I really think you should reconsider putting his character back on the show. The new guy you replaced his character with is not even fit to shine his boots.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to ask that you please bring back Michael Shanks to the Stargate SG-1 show now playing on the SCI-FI channel line-up.

I have been a fan of the show for years, but this year it's missing the main element of the show....the character of Dr. Daniel Jackson. I've watched most of the episodes of season 6 so far and I have to let you know that truthfully the show now has a fatal flaw....it's missing it's most captivating element.....Michael Shanks' character. While I have loved watching this show for 5 years, I am now finding that I have no problems with switching the channel to something more interesting now....unthinkable thing to do during the first 5 years the show was run!! It's because Daniel Jackson isn't there! It's like watching the X-Files without Mulder! Now I don't mind missing a show or two or three. Without Michael Shanks' character, there's no pull to the show anymore! The other characters don't seem to interact correctly...they're not family. The characters are all there and acting normal, but they're not re-acting off Daniel Jackson.

I've tried to find the reason the show is boring now....and it's hard to pin-point. All I can say is that without Daniel Jackson, the other characters are just acquaintances....they're nice enough and you end up liking them just fine, but you don't have any angst over what they're feeling or going through. Daniel Jackson's character as portrayed by Michael Shanks strikes a chord in me that rings true. He can be a son, a lover, a best friend, and all that I want to be when I grow up! He is the Devil's Advocate, the small voice of conscience, the weakling in all of us, the lion's roar, the protector, the smartest person you know with the least common sense, the hurt little boy, and most importantly, the glue that holds the SG-1 family together! And he's been ripped away from the family and now the family isn't even a family anymore....it's a group of individuals that gather and go on adventures once a week...yawn. He was Hammond's prodigal son, Sam's sibling, Jack's confidante, Tealc's redeemer and so much more.

You can have the remaining characters bounce smart phrases and tears off each other all you want, but there is no character there that I can relate to like I did with the Daniel Jackson character that gives me the feeling that they are absorbing the comments or emotions and processing them and returning them back with a bang! That special chemistry is missing.

By the way....I'm not a teeny-bopper slobbering over the latest hunk. He's very cute and all, but there are cuter out there. I'm 42 years old and I miss my friend. That's what it feels like. I miss Daniel. There are enough TV shows out there that are like the current Stargate season. That's why we have so many channels to change. I miss the character of Daniel Jackson that was created in the movie and in the series. Please bring him back.

Please get Michael Shanks back if possible. I, for one, do miss him.

Thanks for reading.

I miss his dry humor and his unwavering scientific ability to reason everything and everyone out of a bad situation. You need to bring him back.

Orange Park, FL - Friday, August 16, 2002, 11:13 PM

Hello

Here in Germany «Stargate SG-1» is late in it's 5th season officially. However, I managed to watch the first 7 episodes of 6th season so far using other means than the local tv station. To sum it up: I AM SAD! I'm upset for weeks now. You (the producers of the show) even made my cry. I don't like that.

First of all, I'm sad to see Michael Shanks leaving the show and with him my most favourite character. I'm stonedead certain, you will see a lot more of my fellow countrymen being cross with TPTB once «Meridian» has been aired in Germany for the first time in September 2002. Stargate is (or better: was) very popular over here - as it is in many areas of Western Europe actually. And why is that?

I somehow doubt it is because of the NID/conspiracy episodes or the war with the Goa'uld story arc and the ever increasing use of special effects. Nor was the introduction of gorgeous young ladies like the «Anise» character of any incentive to tune in. Don't get me wrong - my eyes were pleased but if I wanted to see pretty women I'd turn to other places; no offence intended. Just for the record: I'm an affluent young male and therefore well within the targeting group for the advertising industry.

In the beginning I watched the show because I liked the way how the producers/writers handled the transition from the movie to the new series. The Daniel Jackson character was the most likeable in the movie and soon I found myself enchanted with his portrayal by Michael Shanks. RDA was doing fine too but I must admit having had at first doubts about the Sam Carter character. However, these doubts vanished in season 3. Teal'c is a good and honest chap. I would trust him with my life but somehow he isn't going to make me watch the series.

Originally, I tuned in because I knew RDA and Don Davis (never heard or seen any of the other actors before). Furthermore I was intrigued by the show's approach. Using the Stargate to seek out new life and new civilisations in present day circumstances was an idea I was genuinely interested in. In Star Trek, Jean-Luc Picard was my favourite before he changed important parts of his personality with his appearance on the big screen.

I didn't mind, Stargate was US-centered despite its meaning for the whole planet although I wished TPTB would recognize one day the tens of millions of viewers in Europe. There was a charming and educated fellow in the show who spoke his mind when ethics, moral issues and sometimes even basic human rights were in danger of being sacrified for no convincing reason by the military or political leaders respectively.

With Daniel Jackson I could easily identify myself. Over time, when the exploration issue became less and less important I've drawn joy from the writers efforts to develop the four main characters. In over 100 episodes there is a good chance for writers to do so. And they did. SG-1 managed to become part of the family. Of all the possible interactions between the main characters I was most intrigued by the Jack/Daniel bantering.

For me there was nothing improper the way the writers handled the issue. On the contrary, the more militaristic and showmanshiplike the series became after «Small Victories», the more I appreciated the humour shown in the relationships between Jack and his teammates. That is what kept me watching. With Daniel Jackson gone the show has lost it's appeal to me.

When I first learned Mr Shanks was leaving the show I couldn't believe myself I was reacting so emotionally. I tried to calm myself down with the notion that most probably the actor has nothing in common with the character he is portraying. I still think that is utterly true. However, Michael Shanks triggered something and it isn't only because of his good looks. His acting helped a lot to get me growing fond of Daniel Jackson, in fact watching every scene with him in a state of high excitement. That doesn't happen very often with other actors. Other good looking hunks (e.g. Enterprises Ensign Mayweather or Stargates Jonas Quinn for that matter) stand no chance of achieving the same effect so it must be something else.

Perhaps it is the actor after all. I've read quite a number of reports concerning Michael Shanks appearances at conventions in Europe earlier this year. He seems a nice person.

I also read interviews with him as well as with TPTB. My conclusion is that I would probably have done the same as Michael Shanks. Leaving the show was the right thing to do for him. I wish him every luck in the world for his future career.

I would be most happy should he get a leading role in another successful tv series that will make its way to European small screens. Independend Canadian TV-films are not likely to fulfill this wish.

BTW, does anyone know how to contact Michael Shanks or his agent via mail?

Cheerio and Lots of Love

Tristan

PS: I hope it wasn't a ghastly thing to read through this letter. Imagine I would have written it in German. ;))

Duesseldorf, Germany - Friday, August 16, 2002, 11:12 PM

I am devastated by the loss of Daniel's character on Stargate SG-1. The series' success has, in my mind, relied on the interaction of the four main characters of the SG1 team and without Daniel the chemistry is just not there. I hope that Daniel will be brought back to the series and the upcoming movie. Without him, interest in the series and any future movies will die off.

Oakville, Ontario - Friday, August 16, 2002, 8:28 PM

The show is definitely off-track without Daniel Jackson. He was the "authoritative academician" upon whom the show's very essence and theoretical underpinnings often rested. The guy who has replaced him just doesn't add anything at all. From what I have seen so far, the show just simply does not have the "sparkle" that it formerly had, and I doubt that I would watch it much, if at all, without the original characters.

Houston, Texas - Friday, August 16, 2002, 6:01 PM

Here are some ideas for Daniel, (why not) 1. make him evil, give him a gou'ald, and make daniel the main enemy of earth, (Aslong as he is in every episode) 2. give him alien D>N>A opening up new possibilities. 3. transfer his soul into another body so that he is somebody else inside daniels body. 4. make him a really important liason for someone for a while, (Like the azgard) and then bring him back. .... ok so they are getting worse, but im very tired.

Although this will be short, please do not think that I am not concerned. In truth, this was some of the most devestating news ive heard for weeks. I too respect Michael Shanks reason for leaving, but without Daniel there is no reason for me to watch the show. I know that the writers of stargate are talanted, so please, for the future of the show, give daniel some real material to work with. I strongly beleive that the future of the show rests upon whether or not daniel is a member of SG1. Thankyou for your time.

Dear Mr. Cohen,

I'm writing to ask that you reinstate Michael Shanks as Daniel Jackson in Stargate SG-1. He is an integral character who humanizes the other more militarized team members. Not having Daniel in the show detracts from the original premise that a sensitive archaeologist was necessary to provide a bridge to other cultures. If you want him to have a larger role, develop a romance between him and Samantha.

I am a 34 year old woman who first purchased Showtime cable in 1996 so that I could watch SG-1 since I loved the original movie. Please don't disappoint us loyal fans -- there's no reason that the SG-1 team can't have 5 members!

Thank you for your consideration,

Dear Sirs,

I was very upset to hear that Daniel Jackson was leaving Stargate so much that I haven't had the heart to watch the show since and I really an not sure that I will watch it unless he returns. I am not trying to be hostile or anything else but when I see something that make me really enjoy something and then that something is taken away I just won't enjoy the show anymore. Not to say that he makes the show but it takes all the team to make the show. Not just part of them. I just what i'm tring to say is with out Daniel it not worth me watching.

Thank you for you time.

Sincerely,

Hannibal, Missouri - Thursday, August 15, 2002, 8:07 PM

Dear Sirs,

I am writing to express to you my feelings on the fazing out of the character, Daniel Jackson. I realize that you have other influencing factors in decisions such as these, but I also know that you want to give the viewers what they want most, afterall it all comes down to the ratings in the end. I would like to explain how I stumbled onto the show during it's second season. I have to admit I saw the original movie (starring Kurt Russell) and liked it a lot. My husband thought the movie was good, but nothing to scream about. However when he saw the season premiere of SG-1, he was entranced with it. He watched every episode he could catch. I started watching it with him and found it to be an amazing story that took a great imagination and attention to detail to merge history with science fiction. It intrigued me. I have watched ever since. My husband rents the season premiere movie several times each year, especially if there is going to be a SciFi marathon. In fact I intend on buying it for him for his birthday this year.

I think the character Daniel Jackson is one of the essential pieces that make this series work. I also believe that Michael Shanks was made for this part. I was not just upset when I saw the episode of his death, I was angry. Sgt. O'Neill and Daniel's relationship were part of what I loved about the show. They made me feel a large range of emotions, from laughter to tears. I must honestly say I catch the show here and there now but it is loosing its appeal to me. I remember a time when no plans could be made for Friday nights, that was pizza and Stargate night, but I suppose that won't effect anything much as my husband remains an avid fan of Sgt. O'Neill's. He has mentioned that O'Neill's comments were more effective with the manner in which Daniel would react to them.

I am glad to have had this opportunity to let you know our feelings on this matter. I must say I sincerely hope Daniel returns, it just isn't the same without him.

Sincerely, B.James

The time has come, alas, for another metaphor. I'm SO sorry.

There was once upon a time a hypothetical company called "Cinnamon Buns" that sold Cinnamon Buns with lots of cinnamon and yummy icing. One day, the company decided they weren't going to use any more icing because it's really not important anyway, it's just icing.

Some of the customers complained, saying that the icing was their favorite part and they weren't going to buy any more, at which point the owners and some of the other customers because a little hysterical and insisted that these people were bad customers who only liked icing and had never liked cinnamon buns at all, some even going as far as insisting that these people wanted to change the name of the store to "Icing Buns."

"Nope," the complaining customers said, "we love cinnamon buns, just not without icing, and we ain't buyin' them without icing."

While we're on the subject, we've also noticed a distinct lack of cinnamon in the recipe lately. The store IS called "Cinnamon Buns," isn't it? We don't care HOW much you like raisins.

I still miss Daniel greatly and will until they finally bring him back. But it was so great this week to get to see so little of Jonas. I only saw him in one small part. It was wonderful! The only thing missing was Daniel. I wouldn't mind seeing Jonas making guest appearances, but Daniel should not be having to do it. He should be back full time! When will they finally realize that?

I respect Shanks' decision to leave the show, although I thought he was a really important character. If it wasn't for him, there wouldn't even be a show. I have to admit, that Jonus character that tey got to replace him is really cool. A bigger geek than Jackson himself (if you can believe it). All I'm saying is that I "Mourn the loss of Daniel Jackson" and I'm happy to see him returning a couple times. He'll be back... trust me.

Daniel was my favorite character on the show. He was key to the chemistry of the group. His mannerisms and method of acting was instrumental in making the show a success. I do believe there have been more episodes where he is the focs more than the other crew members. Whereas they all play an important role, Michael Shanks is crucial and the show is just not the same without him.

PLEASE bring Michael back. We miss him!

I'm a very recent Stargate fan and have just bought all the DVDs up to the end of season 4. I have put a considerable amount of money into MGM's coffers but would never have done so if the character of Daniel Jackson hadn't featured prominently in every episode. He's such an integral part of the show that it beggars belief that TPTB let him go in such a shabby manner. However, at the end of the day, this behaviour is all on a par with the continuing dumbing-down of television and the cynical contempt most producers of TV shows seem to have for their viewers. Stargate was a wonderfully popular show and haven't MGM ever heard of the maxim: if it's not broken, don't fix it? Why change a winning formula and why in heaven's name get rid of such a tremendously popular character? It makes no sense to me. However, of one thing I'm sure and that is that, in common with a lot of former Stargate fans, I shan't be buying any more Stargate DVDs nor watching any post-Daniel episodes and that is undoubtedly MGM's ultimate loss.

London, England - Thursday, August 15, 2002, 8:35 AM

As I sit here, my regular Thursday night episode of Stargate SG1 has just finished. From memory, I think I have about four more episodes until Daniel Jackson departs from the program. At that same time, MGM and Channel 7 Perth will be losing a view also.

I find it difficult to comprehend that the producers of Stargate are prepared to let one of the original characters, upon whose very existance the whole basis of the show relies upon. To say why the character of Daniel Jackson is integral to the show is difficult because it's not just the character, it is the way he is portrayed on the screen. There really aren't that many character's on the show that one can relate to - Jack's an aggresive loner (and potential stalker), Sam's a gorgeous genius with no social life and Teal'c is an alien. Sort of limits who you can relate to. Daniel has been married, he's looked for and lost his love, he makes mistakes and admits them, yet has frequent moments of pure genius but doesn't rub it into his colleagues faces and is played by an actor who brings charm and integrity to his part.

To replace Daniel with another character will not work, whether the new character, regardless of his appearance (I understand he's supposed to be a "pretty boy"). If we were interested in a character's appearance, we'd be watching some soapie full of gorgeous men - not a science fiction program complete with aliens. After all, Dr Who was not exactly Mr Universe in any of his reincarnations, yet you would be hard put to find a more successful television program.

We, the viewing public love Daniel because he is a three dimensional character with strengths and weaknesses like any of us. He makes us laugh, he brings wry humour to the show, and I for one will miss him.

While you have the chance, please bring him back. Otherwise, goodbye Stargate - it was a good program while it lasted.

Bonjour, J'ai vu tout les épisodes de Stargate SG1 et de loin,Michael Shanks est le meilleur et il est celui qui semble le plus vrai dans son rôle,Daniel.Il est émouvant et terriblement beau!Son départ est une catastrophe et la série n'a plus aucun intérêt sans Daniel Jackson...C'est pour cela que je vote pour son retour .Merci

It takes a big person to admit they've made a mistake. All those involved in the disastrous decision to allow Daniel Jackson to be written out of Stargate SG-1 should swallow their pride and be man enough to concede their error of judgment before it's too late. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Come on, guys - make a whole lot of people happy and give yourselves the good feeling that comes from knowing you did the right thing in the end.

Since TPTB took the character of Daniel Jackson out of Stargate, I haven't watched a single new episode. I refuse. It just isn't the same. The character of Dr. Jackson has been a part of the Stargate story line way back to the movie which led to the series. The story line just isn't right without the man who figured out how to make the gate work in the first place. Until Daniel Jackson is placed back in his rightful place on the team, the show has lost a faithful and long fan.

To Whom It May Concern, It is uncommon for me to write to anyone. Today, I felt like checking out the Stargate site for the first time ever to get some information on the character of Daniel Jackson. What a shock to find that you are letting him go! He's the reason I watch the show. His character is the most charismatic in the series. Where would the show be without the scientific observer (not to mention he's very good looking). Please don't forget who the series appeals to. If it is changed too much it will go the way of other series, like Superman. No one seemed to know what they were doing in the end. How sad. Anyway, surely you can find a writer who can do justice to the character Daniel Jackson and improve rather than deplete the series. Yours sincerely Jennifer L Bottrell

It´s wrong that you took Daniel Jackson away from the show, He´s the very heart and soul of the whole series. I cannot imagine what goes on in your heads when you pull a stunt like this. Are you really so eager to loose viewers? The sg1 is the perfect team with Daniel Jackson in it, It can never be as good with some replacement guy. its very unfortunate that u had to ruin the show, that was so good before. Please take him back so that me and my friends can watch the show again. Thank u.

Why would anyone any sane person write Daniel Jackson out of the show when he is a major part of the chemistry and apeal of Stargate SG1? It's madness. Please reconsider this.

A Prophecy Fulfilled?

On Another Site, I just came across an old post of mine from April 2002. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don't think you will see the original Quinn as presented in 'Meridian'.

After T.P.T.B. have had time to digest all the criticism about the appalling manner in which Laughing Boy was depicted, and have realized that they've dug themselves into a really deep dark pit from which there is no plausible escape, I'd put money on their quietly binning that personality and re-writing the whole character from scratch - probably borrowing from Dr. Jackson's c.v.

And I bet they think we won't notice the switch to the back-up personality...

Cynic? Moi? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I seem to have been proved correct...

Best wishes, Sue - returning to Fanficland where the plots and characterizations are better.

To whom has the power to stop this madness. Along time ago, I saw the pilot episode for MacGyver, 6 seasons later I had only missed a few episodes, MacGyver was and *IS* my roadmodel, much thanks to Richard D. Anderson, it was a sad day the one when I heard that MacGyver was "retireing" from our TV screens. So it was with delight I saw that Mr.Anderson was back on the screen as a different character, as O'neil in Stargate SG-1. This time he was even involved in the production of this spendid drama. Even though O'neil has a hard shell MacGyver is still there, all the time, deep inside him. Stargate SG-1 has a number of key characters, all of them more or less the same type of personality, O'neill (roughneck), Carter (science-wiz-roughneck), Teulc(Bad-ass-but-really-nice-type-of-guy-roughneck) BUT Daniel Jackson however put a breath of fresh air into the bunch. He was the one that above all wanted to EXPLORE new worlds, not only engage in combat and kick other species asses to aquire new weapons! Without Daniel Jackson, Stargate will probably loose all it's spirit and degrade to something like "Wormhole X-treme" in the Season 5 episode. WE WANT A DRAMA WITH SOME *HUMANS* IN IT!!! Daniel Jackson is only one of the bunch that every watcher can identify it self with. I thought SG-1 was all about EXPLORING new worlds? How can you explore new worlds and civilizations without an anthropologist or someone who can read ancient texts? Daniel Jackson was the heart and the spirit of Stargate SG-1.

What if the producers of MacGyver would have wanted to switch charaters with MacGyver and O'neil? D*I*S*A*S*T*E*R

Please, for me, and all the other SG-1 fans out there and last but not least yourself, bring Daniel Jackson back, otherwise SG-1 is doomed to become "Wormhole X-treme" Unless season 6 is the last season that is...

Compared to some I have only recently started to watch SG1, but I cannot imagine how the show can continue without Michael Shanks, not only is he the best actor amongst the cast, but his character was the reason the SGC began. Surely the producers have seen the demise of The X Files after the leading actor left. The show will not be the same, and if it is true that Richard Dean Anderson may also leave, there will be no show. Come on producers, swallow your pride, ask Michael back.

Es una lastima que tan buen actor se vaya de la serie, siendo que daba al grupo un sentido gracioso y humano.

Espero que su desaparición no sea permanente y que vuelva pronto a la serie. Y esta vez hasta el final de la misma. No suele gustar a la gente que los actores principales de las series desaparezcan. Ya que nos permiten, solo con los gestos, entender el argumento del momento.

El Cajon, CA - Thursday, August 29, 2002, 2:17 PM

I am thoroughly disappointed in the new Stargate season. With the exceptions of Abyss and the one done by PDL (with the Jaffa and Tok'ra), the rest have been so below par, and UN-Stargate-like that I can barely believe it's the same people producing it.

Abyss showed exactly what's missing: DANIEL and the warmth and compassion he brings to the team. The scenes between Jack and Daniel were some of the best in Stargate, ever.

Take Daniel out of the equation and you have bland episodes. Put Daniel back and the fire returns to the show.

The first half of the season is now over. I sincerely hope you listen to the many fans who are urging you to return Daniel Jackson to the SG-1 team for the second half.

I enjoyed the episode "Abyss" with Michael Shanks back in his role of Daniel Jackson very much. It was wonderful to see the great interaction bewteen Jack and Daniel again.

I've watched Season Six up through "Shadow Play" and have to admit that I'm very disappointed. Jonas Quinn is not a very good character and as a replacement for Daniel Jackson, he falls way behind. The actor is not as talented as Shanks, either, and the huge difference between both characters and both actors was hugely apparent in "Abyss."

I hope you will think seriously about descending Daniel Jackson properly and putting him back with his team where he belongs. If this happens I will happily start watching the show again.

For many years I continued to carry Showtime channel only because it was the only place to see new episodes of Stargate: SG-1. Now it has moved to the Sci-Fi Channel, but without Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks). What a disappointment! Daniel Jackson and Jack O'Neal were the two main characters from the movie and the series. What were you thinking to remove either of them? While I love the whole team, Daniel and Jack are the main characters. Please bring Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) back for next season, because I don't think I can take another season of Jonas Quinn.

Dear Hank,Bonnie & Brad

I was extremely sad to hear the news that Michael Shanks was not to renew his contract at the end of season 5. At first I had thought like many actors he had decided to move on and extend his acting range through new roles and characters but was greatly disappointed to learn that this was only half the story. Like many fans who watch the show. The discovery of strange new worlds, it's culture, people and history has always been my first love for watching.Through Michaels character this and so much more was provided and since season 3 little or nothing has been written regarding the issue. I understand that after five years writers who have provided us with great episodes and scripts tend to try new angles and different formats but as the actual story stems from the discovery of different planets, the people and their history. I would have thought that it would have been an integral part of the continuing story. I do not wish to condemn the writers or the producers of the show as I truly believe that it is one of the greatest TV shows of our time. I only wish that before it is too late and people start to switch off that you discover why people actually switched onto the show and why they love it so much.

With best regards,

Alex.

You absolutely cannot axe Daniel Jackson from the show! Last night I watched the episode where Jackson goes insane and it was the best piece of acting I've ever seen. There is so much more you can do with his character, he is an integral part of the SG-1 team and without him the show wouldn't be the same. I would love to know your reasoning behind taking the character of the show because I can't work why you would. Please don't axe Daniel Jackson, you would be making a terrible mistake.

Dear Sirs, You are making a terrible mistake in omitting Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) from the future series plots of Stargate-SG1. He contributes so much uniqueness of character, who plays well against Teal'c and O'Neil, that I can't imagine watching the show with the same regularity without him. The show needes Jackson (Shanks) for the special aura that he and his character add. You will lose viewers, for sure. To wait and see is folly. Reinstate Dr. Daniel Jackson (with Michael Shanks playing him). Thank you.

To the producers,

It is a crying shame that Daniel Jackson is not in SG1 at the moment. How you can continue to make Season 6 without one of the two remaining origional characters from the movie is absolutely obsurd. Please let the writers and Micheal Shanks continue to develpoe the character and bring him back to the the SGC. How long can you keep going without buckling under the pressure from fans from around the world WITHOUT doing something.

I have not words,after I had heard the new about Daniel Jackson's affair.

You cannot take out him, like this!!! Most of people need his appearance in the show, because he gives us the human's feels that the army don't give.

He is a human person in the show. He is a good and funny.......... I can't believe.. HE IS THE MAIN ACTOR IN THE SHOW!!!

DO YOU REMEMBER DE FIRST FILM IN THE BIG SCREEN???

PLEASE YOU MUST HE RETURN TO THE SHOW, IT IS NEEDS TO THE SHOW AND TO US TOO.

YOU CAN DO IT, YOU HAVE A GOOD IMAGINE TO MAKE IT, PLEASE DO IT.

To Whom It May Concern,

I am a fan of the Stargate SG-1 series. It all started when I saw the original Stargate movie, which I loved. One day channel surfing I found SG-1 on Saturday morning Fox TV. I was hooked!

Each of the characters contributed to the "gel" of the show. The relationship between wise-cracking Jack and Daniel has always been a highlight of the show. It has also been a pleasure to see each of the characters grow and become more three dimensional with each episode. To read interviews where an writer or a producer felt a character's "arc" was over is ridiculous! That's just lazy writing! Each of the characters has had love interests, one relationship does not define an entire character.

I have felt that in the prior year's season there was quite a bit of focus on one or two characters at the expense of the others. This helps to define those characters, which is fine. But then it is time to do the same for the other characters. I am afraid that if something is not done about this more of the original actors will depart the show. That would be a real shame!

I continue to watch Stargate SG-1 on any channel I can find it. I love the re-runs that have Daniel in them. I like the newer episodes too, because I couldn't do without a dose of Jack, Carter, and Teal'c. There has been something missing from the show this season. That is the character of Daniel Jackson.

Please review your story arc plans and find a way to bring Daniel back!

Sincerely, Laura Himmel

dude u cant just REMOVE daniel from the show!!! he is like errmm...let me think...hang on.....THE BEST CHARACTER ON IT!!!! methinks MGM havent watched their own show in quite a while or even talked to its fans. im not saying the othere actors are crap, they are great, its just dan has so much more personality. sure, u may say that thats all the more reason to kill him off, to provoke a greater reaction from the audience, but to be honest this would be brief and would DEGRADE THE REST OF THE PROGRAMS LIFE!!!! i think it would be a VERY bad decision to remove him, i know i wont watch the program so fervently.

thanx for the time, Cae Morgan

This past season has just not been the same since the character, Daniel Jackson, has been missing. I have nothing against the Jonas Quinn character, except that he took Daniel's place. I don't think I will ever be able to accept him in Daniel's place. Jack and Daniel are the two most important characters in the movie and the series. Together they had a chemistry that, when Daniel was written out, left a void that Jonas can never fill. They are absolutely essential in continuing the series at the highest possible level. Please bring the team (Jack, Daniel, Samantha, and T'ealc) back together again, whatever it may take.

Thank you for listening.

The new guy is wonderful but he is no Daniel Jackson! You have the perfect opportunity to bring back Daniel while the SG-1 is trapped 1200 light years from earth. I know they are with Thor but he has his own issues. Bring back Daniel to help them figure out how to get home, how to help Thor, and let him take a physical form once again in order to do these things.

SG-1 is great but they need Daniel. They need the Daniel as the foil of O'Niel. They need Daniel as the member of the family that is missing. Figure this out or you guys will lose in the long run.

You might be able to keep all of the fans through the shows run. But the extra money you desire to make from the fans of the show will evaporate if Daniel is not returned to the show. You figure it out and you ponder the economics of the matter.

Dear Mr Hank Cohen, Mr. Brad Wright, MGM executives and SciFi Channel Executives:

I am writing to ask that you bring back Michael Shanks as the character of Dr. Daniel Jackson.

Producers and Executives are practical people. I like to think of myself as a practical person. It's not good business to throw out one of the original characters of a hit series, arguably the main character in the movie. The viewing public doesn't care if Michael Shanks is "difficult". His character is essential to the show.

The Stargate SG1 writers and actors have worked very hard to build a family on the show. To just "kill off" the character of Jackson leaves a hole that cannot be filled with the odd (are you an alien or not?) character played by Corin Nemic.

I came to the show a fan of Richard Dean Anderson. I adm
