In the long run, I think they shouldn't have even tried to put someone in that position to try and fill Daniel's shoes because it just wasn't gonna happen. TPTB doomed the character to be hated by many a hardcore Daniel fan - but also in the long run, I think it was that mistake that helped bring Daniel back...
Michael didn't take the way his character was being treated lying down, and I don't think Corin should've either. I do agree that the way his character was handled was crappy, by both TPTB and the other characters, and it wasn't entirely Corin's fault. But it's also the way he went at it - the acting he did to make Jonas just always rubbed me the wrong way. I guess it might be because I wanted DANIEL, and he wasn't Daniel...
And about Jack constantly 'kicking' Jonas, I honestly think Jack was going through as a character the same thing I was as a viewer. He would want Daniel, and all he saw was Jonas. One thing that really turned me againsy Jonas was his line in Redemption part 2 where he says to Jack 'Dr. Jackson is dead.' Just the way he said it, I was immediately like OH NO. The Jack/Daniel friendship was one of the things that drew me into SG-1, so that's another thing that has biased my opinion towards Jonas...
I understand where you're coming from - I respect that because maybe you're a better person for being able to see the good in Jonas. I just CAN'T do it...*shrugs*
