Shanks for President...of Atlantis

[Merlin1701]

I was just watching ‘New Order’ and think the character of Daniel Jackson would be a viable leader figure on Atlantis.

• He has been ascended, twice, so has a grasp of ancient rules and the ancients kind of like him. Before anybody says he can't remember his time ascended, i know; but its still in there and would you not agree he is an authority on the subject?!

• He’s a non-military character that has negotiated with multiple races throughout the Milky Way galaxy

• He learns spoken and written languages rather quickly

There are more, feel free to add more…

While he may be prowling through the Asgard interface/ library he has to be better than Woolsy.

Your thoughts…

As much as I love Dear Dr. Jackson, he's not leadership material. He's become sort of Mary-Sue ish in some ways.

Chuck would be the perfect leader of Atlantis. Yes, Chuck.

[g.o.d]

I agree. He should be there as a leader of expedition instead of Woolsey

what or who is Mary-Sue? I've seen thin in several threads

Mary Sue

Do you something to back that up. I don't trust wikipedia.

[Ltcolshepjumper]

Daniel is not a leader. He is not qualified to be the overseer of scientific and military operations in atlantis. woolsey is qualified.

[jenks]

He's a hell of a lot more qualified than Weir ever was.

No.

Daniel's experiences do NOT add up to qualifications as the Atlantis mission commander.

His experiences as a negotiator (for example, "Divide and Conquer,' or "Learning Curve"), put his skills more in the appeaser category.

Weir, who learned to bluff from watching her father's games ("New Order, Part One), had a reputation for being a tough negotiator.

Plus, Daniel (due to his theories on the Egyptian pyramids), doesn't have the full respect of his archeology peers.

Woolsey also has the reputation, the working experience, to be the new Atlantis mission commander.

Not really. Weir had diplomatic and leadership experience. Unlike Daniel, she actually brokered several treaties (the writer's must have forgotten about that when writing her character). Daniel is the most qualified to be in Atlantis, but not the leader. Would you put Daniel in charge of the SGC?

Are you kidding? If there was a Mary Sue on Stargate certainly wasn't Daniel...

No.

Morjana

But Daniel doesn't need that, 'cause in Atlantis they know that his theories were rigth! And I don't think that Woolsey deserves more respect than Daniel or, better, that Atlantis crew respect him more than Daniel. Plus Daniel has 10 + 2 Stargate's years of training....

And doom the planet? I wouldn't.

Those examples show that he is more than capable to be a member of the expedition but not a leader. He is not the leadership type anymore than Rodney.

Daniel a Mary Sue? Uh if anyone qualifies for that it certainly is not Daniel.

Chuck would be the perfect leader of Atlantis. Yes, Chuck.

LMAO yeah sure he is...
