Everybody including myself is happy that Daniel Jackson is back on the show. It was fan campaigning that got him back on the show.
A common misconception. The truth is, Daniel Jackson is back on the show because TPTB wanted him back, and MS wanted to come back. It was a mutual agreement which had little or nothing to do with fan input. And if you think this is unlikely, then keep in mind that season 6 - the first season after Daniel left - had extremely high viewer ratings.
I read an interview with Michael Shanks in a magazine a few years ago, saying that the fan mail he reicieved was instrumental in his decision to return to the show.
He originally left, because he felt that his character was no longer of use. He realised that his character did have a use, as he was inundated by letters from fans. These letters forced him to rethink his situation, and he agreed to return.
i will also say that yes, TPTB did want him back, but why else did TPTB introduce the whole Jack/Sam storyline, if they didn't want to utilise it?
sigpic Part 2 coming very soon!! (this is a fic btw, not the Fandemonium novel)
I've already stated that I like Pete as person and as a means to make Sam happy, given the current circumstances, however...
IF PETE PROPOSES TO SAM, I MIGHT HAVE TO HURT SOMEONE!!!!!!!!
Phew... Glad that's over.
Anyway, for the record, I respect AT and the writer's decision to keep Pete in next season, as long as they handle the storyline in a way that doesn't just have Sam get "some," while constantly pining over Jack. Jack IS the General, after all, guys, and everyone on the series has made it quite clear that they respect the US Air Force, and all of the regulations therein. It would explain why the ONLY times Jack and Sam have ever kissed have been because of the following:
1) Alien influence
2) Alternate reality, where Sam was a civilian
3) Jack had resigned
4) Sam was hallucinating
Am I missing any?
To make a long point longer, I think Sam and Jack should get together at the end (because Jack IS the man for her), but that the current storylines are great.
I also think that fans WERE one of the main factors in getting Michael Shanks back, and the writers/producers/directors/powers DO respect the fans enough to do something about it, if they feel that the majority are being... affected.
So post on, - haters (hehe), because they DO go on these sites, and they do pay attention to us... for the most part.
...why else did TPTB introduce the whole Jack/Sam storyline, if they didn't want to utilise it?
Oh, but they have used it, they do use it and they are using it. It - the whole Jack/Sam storyline...however one may interpret it - keeps people watching.

Why should we that don't want Pete gone stay away from this topic? Or is the world back to the ''if you dont agree, stfu"-state again?
Because its common courtesy; this thread is for people who don't like Pete to organize a petition about him. We don't like him, we want to discuss the anti-Pete petition, not debate about the guy. Thays for the Ship Discussion Thread. You wouldn't want us coming into a pro-pete thread and bashing him would you? There, you guys can talk about him, here we want to plan a petition against him. If you don't agree, thats fine, but this isn't the place to tell us about it.
"I think that, to some degree, all of us are fractured souls. Cut in half. And we wander through life looking for the rest of ourselves. And sometimes we're fortunate enough to meet someone who possesses, in themselves, the part of ourselves that we've been missing. We may not realize it on a conscious level, but definitely on a subconscious level. We see in someone else... something of ourselves. Thats why sometimes you meet someone and you just immediately feel comfortable with them. You feel like you've known them all your life. The reason is that they're a part of you, and you're a part of them. You're soul mates. you... fit. And once you've fit together, nothing can pull you apart unless you let go."

Screw the regs! DOWN with ! He's no threat to O'Neill! Sam and Jack FOREVER!
I do not like Pete; he has nothing to do with Stargate (other than being Sam's boyfriend) yet he's everywhere in the show now. I don't like how his presence and actions have (in my eyes) destroyed my favorite character Sam Carter. This in no way is a statement about the actor; my problem is with the character. I truly feel that the character is ruining this once phenomenal show and I'm not happy with it. I don't want the show to focus on ship to the exclusion of everything else and thats what I feel the Sam/Pete relationship is doing. Yes, I want Sam and Jack together, but thats not the only reason I love and watch Stargate.

I may be a "Common Misconception" but MGM & SciFi are the ones that put the ads on that said "You asked for it and we are giving it to you".
hey add me to the patition. i've sent you a PM with my name etc.
at this rate i'd settle for pete to just be gone please. the best way i can think of to do that is to put her with jack.
