'''Jonas Quinn''' is a fictional character in the Canadian-American television series ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'', a [[science fiction]] show about a military team exploring the galaxy via a network of alien transportation devices. Played by [[Corin Nemec]], Jonas is introduced in the season&nbsp;5 episode "[[Meridian (Stargate SG-1)|Meridian]]." Jonas fills [[Daniel Jackson (Stargate)|Daniel Jackson]]'s empty spot on the SG-1 team in season&nbsp;6 and the beginning of season&nbsp;7, and last appears in the mid-season&nbsp;7 episode "[[Fallout (Stargate SG-1)|Fallout]]".

Nemec's character replaced Daniel Jackson (portrayed by [[Michael Shanks]]) during season&nbsp;6 after Shanks had left the show amid controversy after season&nbsp;5. The producers based Jonas' motivation to join [[Stargate Command]] on his momentary reluctance to actively prevent Daniel's death, and his feelings of responsibility afterwards. Jonas was slowly integrated into the story in a prolonged transition stage over the first half of season&nbsp;6. Nemec was open to continue playing Jonas Quinn after season&nbsp;6, but a new contract was reached with Michael Shanks for Daniel to return in season&nbsp;7. The role of Jonas was reduced to recurring status in season&nbsp;7.
