    Gah! That was rather my point. I wasn't making sense. Because I cannot find a way to make sense of your comment that MS 'couldn't get any jobs', or that TPTB took back someone who 'crawled back' despite being a 'lousy actor'.

    The first of those assertions is patently untrue. It verges on slander. (GW has a good relationship with the folk who make Stargate, in part because we Moderate anyone who slanders them, or at least - as in this thread - set the record straight.)

    The second of your assertions certainly crosses the respect real people rule that GW has. Although you're perfectly entitled to criticise MS's acting skills you have nothing to back up the idea that he (or anyone else) 'crawled'. Furthermore it's incredibly insulting to TPTB to suggest that they are idiot enough to hire an actor for reasons as unprofessional as that said not-very-good actor did a bit of begging.

    I foolishly tried to be humourous when trying to point all this out to you the first time. Obviously I failed. Hence the need, here in this post, to spell it all out.

    Do not make stuff up. Do not present speculation (especially unkind speculation) as fact. Thank you.

      Since Shipperahoy and Skydiver between them have posted the only available *facts* and since this thread has the potential to turn into a trainwreck, I'm closing it. If anyone wants it opened up for further (sane) discussion, PM me in a day or two when things are calmer and I'll open it or start a new thread, whatever the other mods feel is sensible.

        so at the end of S5 MS said he wanted to leave which is why Jonas joined SG-1 in S6. but now that I think about it, wasnt MS in quite a few episodes in S6 anyway?
        i mean, there are episodes like Abyss, Changling, Full Circle where Daniel makes an appearance, then there are episodes like Descent, Prometheus, Unnatural Selection where Thor makes an appearance

        so does that mean that even though MS left in S5, he actually came back for almost half of the S6 season anyway?

          He probably did the voices for Thor (in Descent, Prometheus, Unnatural Selection, and Disclosure) while he was doing his appearances for Abyss, Changling, and Full Circle

            The actor left the show, but was written out in such a way as to permit guest appearances, which is what abyss, full circle, changeling were

              As you may notice from seasons 7-onward, apparently he just couldn't stay away.

              I mean, if you were on SG-1, would you be able to resist coming back, even if your character was off the show for the season?

                If I didn't want to be there, then, yeah, I would be able to resist rather easily. Look at RDA in Season 8, for example.

                  I'm just glad MS decided he wanted back in. Nothing against Jonas, but you just can't fill Daniel Jackson's shoes.

                    I don't understand why Micheal Shanks even bothered leavin hte show for season 6. He is in a lot of episodes in the season, if not as Daniel, as thor.


                    also, why did he leave the show anyway?

                        I cant remember all the details, but the writers probably needed him to acend to help with the future stories and seasons. This may also have been about the time he got married, or had his first child, so that may have had something to do with it as well.
                        Science Fiction is an existential metaphor; it allows us to tell stories about the human condition.

                        Isaac Asimov once said individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all.

                          Ya I don't see the problem with him leaving for a year.

                            Actually, it was Michael who wanted to leave. His contract was up and he wanted to try other things. So the writers wrote him out. Then the fans revolted and demanded him back. So, the PTB offered him more money and he came back. At least, that is the version I read in the media.

                                Does anyone know what brought about Michael Shank not being in the cast of SG1 during Season 6? was he holding out for money? sick? try his hand at other ventures?

                                just curious
