Don S. Davis was interviewed by Thomasina Gibson Cult Times #89, Feb 03 "I have to tell ya, hon," Davis
begins in his smooth southern drawl, "One of the things I'm looking forward
to most is working with Michael Shanks again on a regular basis.
We missed Michael. I've said many times at conventions and the like
that the dynamic of the show - and this has nothing in any way to do with
the sterling performance by Corin Nemec, who is a great kid and a wonderful
actor - Davis offers his view - one
shared by many of those who watch and enjoy Stargate SG-1 - that, "When
we didn't have that voice, the others tried to play the voice in different
episodes and it always put them out of character. Even to the extent
that, ridiculously, in a couple of episodes, Jack O'Neill undertook that
role, and for me it just didn't work. So far as I'm concerned, other
than the fact that Michael is a wonderful actor and a nice guy, I think
Daniel's return will make the storylines richer. "In my humble opinion, developing Jonas's storyline somewhat took us away from the spine of the show, which is what I believe a lot of people want to see." Encouraged to give up any ideas about what's in store for General Hammond in the coming year, Davis insists, "To be absolutely honest, hon, I have none. No ideas whatsoever. All I've been told is that in some of the first few episodes he's very, very heavily featured. Really, I'm just grateful to be coming back. I didn't expect there to be a Season Seven and I really thought if there was a Season Seven that I wouldn't have a major presence in it. So I'm very grateful to be afforded this opportunity."
