Yeah, I think the difference in our opinions is mostly stemming from the fact that you went into that season expecting/wanting Daniel whereas I searched it out to see what SG-1 was like without Daniel.
I don't like S6, and not because the episodes were bad or because of the lack of Daniel. I disliked it because I felt like I was watching a team of unlikable jerks. To me the characters were OOC. Yeah, I get that they were still mourning Daniel and viewing Jonas as an interloper...but to sit there and watch Jack act like an ass to someone who was trying to help him for 20+ episodes was frustrating. And to see Sam saying things like "you're such a chicken shit" shocked me and honestly made me angry. That's not Sam, that's just someone being a b*tch for no \reason. There is a difference between mourning and being cruel...and that line was crossed in the first episode of S6 for me.
The writers gave Jonas a lot of moments that proved his worth, but it seemed like the one thing they forgot was to show anyone acknowledging that.
Then again, I suppose I'm a sucker for the underdogs...after all, I liked Cam when all of the hardcore Jack fans said he was just a pail imitation of O'Neill.
