===Characterization and relationships===
After Daniel's death and Jonas' subsequent move to Earth, Major Carter is the SG-1 team member around whom Jonas Quinn feels most comfortable.<ref name=tvzones46_14 /> Nevertheless, [[Amanda Tapping]] (Carter) felt that "there is a hesitancy on [Carter]'s part to be too familiar with Jonas [or] make this big emotional investment" in him because he is not Daniel.<ref name=tvzones46_14 /> Jonas hopes that Carter and the alien SG-1 member Teal'c can persuade Colonel O'Neill to give him a chance to prove himself worthy of a place on the SG-1 team,<ref name=tvzones46_14>{{Cite journal |last=Eramo |first=Steven | title=Amanda Tapping &ndash; Tapping Aloud &ndash; Major Carter |journal=[[TV Zone]] |issue=Special 46 |pages=14&ndash;18 |date=July 2002}}</ref> but according to [[Richard Dean Anderson]] (O'Neill), "O'Neill feels that Jonas is directly responsible for the demise or at least the damaging of Daniel Jackson [and thus] harbors some resentment towards Jonas".<ref name=tvzones46_4 /> Although O'Neill is suspicious of aliens in general (except of Teal'c), O'Neill begins to accept Jonas at the end of "Redemption" yet finds it hard to ever significantly warm up to Jonas,<ref name=tvzones46_4 /> something which Nemec felt "makes things much more interesting".<ref name=tvzones46_22 /> Tapping added that Jonas inadvertently brings the three remaining SG-1 members closer together again.<ref name=tvzones46_14 /> Jonas's "easy-going nature" later helps him to also establish relationships with the supporting characters Dr. [[Janet Fraiser]] and General [[George Hammond (Stargate)|George Hammond]], whom Nemec regarded "very much [as] a father figure in Jonas's eyes".<ref name=tvzones46_22 />
