Editing Jonas Quinn (section)

==Reception==
The audience reception of Jonas Quinn was sparked with controversy over Michael Shanks' departure from the show.<ref>{{cite news |last=Ryan |first=Maureen |url=http://www.charlotte.com/mld/charlotte/news/local/3418043.htm  |title=Sci-Fi shows on the same wavelength |newspaper=[[Chicago Tribune]] |date=June 7, 2002 |access-date=2002-08-03 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20020803120253/http://www.charlotte.com/mld/charlotte/news/local/3418043.htm |archive-date = 2002-08-03}}</ref> When rumors began late in 2001 that [[Showtime (TV network)|Showtime]] would also not be renewing ''Stargate&nbsp;SG-1'' after its fifth season, panicking fans rallied to save the show and Daniel's character, starting massive write-in campaigns and setting up websites such as the "Save Daniel Jackson" site. The SciFi Channel eventually ordered a sixth season of the show, but the character of Jonas continued to be distrusted by loyal fans, who were concerned that Daniel's death might cause the SG-1 team to lose its moral compass.<ref name=approaching>{{cite book|last=Storm|first=Jo|title=Approaching the Possible: The World of Stargate SG-1|publisher=ECW Press|location=Toronto, Canada|date=2005|pages=61–64|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=T196lU-jXI8C|isbn=1-55022-705-X}}</ref> Robert C. Cooper summarized that "there's been quite a bit of ire directed by fans towards Daniel's replacement" after the airing of "Meridian", but he hoped that the character would grow on fans eventually.<ref name=tvzones46_66 /> Producer [[Joseph Mallozzi]] claimed at the beginning of season 6 to still get the "odd incoherent rambling death threat passed along to me from the [Save Daniel Jackson] site".<ref name=jm_chat />

Amanda Tapping admitted that it had been easier to establish relationships with her co-stars at the beginning of the series, comparing Nemec's situation to "being the new kid in school; we're still trying to make [Corin] comfortable, but it's not the same".<ref name=approaching /> Nevertheless, the ''Stargate&nbsp;SG-1'' actors and producers complimented Corin Nemec and the character. Richard Dean Anderson was impressed with Nemec's performance in "Meridian", saying "he really struck me as a bright guy, very respectful of the dynamic of the set, but with an awareness of what he wanted to bring."<ref name=z2i /> [[Don S. Davis]] (General Hammond) noted during the filming of season&nbsp;6 that "Corin is a wonderful [and well-liked] young man with a tremendous personality and he's had a great deal of experience in the business",<ref name=tvzones46_30>{{Cite journal |last=Eramo |first=Steven | title=Don S.

''[[TV Zone]]''{{'}}s Jan Vincent-Rudzki expected Jonas to be "pushed out of the way" in season&nbsp;7's "Fallen"/"Homecoming", but considered the character's departure as "keeping with previous events" and "quite plausible".<ref name=tvzone166_70/> The writers' decision to team up Jonas with Daniel for a significant part of the two-part episode "gives credence to Jonas's exit", although "it's a great shame that this new 'partnership' couldn't have continued" since "the two [characters] worked so well together".<ref name=tvzone166_70>{{Cite journal |last=Vincent-Rudzki |first=Jan | title=Stargate SG-1 &ndash; Fallen/Homecoming |journal=[[TV Zone]] |issue=166 |page=70 |date=August 2003}}</ref> Nemec stated in a 2008&nbsp;interview that "the initial backlash from a very small core, outspoken group of the fandom had a bit of a volatile reaction to it, which is totally natural... I'd say 95-plus percent of the fan base grew to like the character and accepted the character overall. Especially by the time season&nbsp;6 ended, I think people were pretty much, 'Eh, OK — I'm cool with that.' For the most part."<ref name=gw_unsung />
