An open letter to the writers:
You have killed off your share of Sam's suitors and what some might call "interesting" characters such as the Tokra queen, the nice Wraith girl, and the SG1 duplicates, but Fifth was the last predictable straw. First and foremost, you do not whack someone as hot as Patrick Currie. Holy crap, I would replicate with that guy any day. Or let him stick his hand in me. In the "sharing our feelings and dreams" sense of the term, just so this post isn't deleted.
But for god's sake, do something useful with this character. Put him on Atlantis (he expressed interest in an interview), where he can annoy the Wraith by not being edible. Then he could punch one across the room with his super-strength. Can Vala do that with her little clacky-sticks? I don't think so. She can't even get the Christopher Judge eyebrow right. I bet Fifth could.
Don't worry about him being "dead". If you can keep bringing Apophis and Daniel Jackson back 900 times and hint that Vala is going to survive that black hole, you can tell me that Fifth made a backup of himself and flew off to Atlantis to find an Ancient cure for his need to replicate and/or make him a "real boy." I will buy it. Actually, don't make him a real boy. Androids just make more appealing men-folk, with their promise of endless endurance and what-not. This is a sci-fi and fantasy show. I'm helping you realize more of that latter genre.
No, really, I think Patrick Currie is a talented young actor who made me sympathize with his character enough to compel me to post on this fine, fine internet website message board. Writers, please take the highly unusual step of creating a slightly improbable and/or scientifically unsound situation in your otherwise airtight show in order to bring him back.
Or just give me his number.
