Life after Daniel
*POSSIBLE SPOILERS*
Okay, so we know that Daniel is leaving (in whatever way). How is SG1 and SGC for that matter, going to react? Are they going to mourn/miss him in one episode and then it's out of sight, out of mind? As if Daniel never existed? Never mention him, never say they need him, his expertise, his knowledge, his insights, his moral integrity? Are they going to "punish" the character because the actor decided to go?
What I am trying to say, it's that Daniel was a very integral part of SG1 and SGC. And his absence should not be dismissed or ignored. I truly feel if they are going to be realistic and logical that there will be consequences to Daniel's absence. What will happen next time SG1 encounters an alien race with advance technology that they want to share with the Taur'i? Is Jack going to jump happily, without any thought or doubts? We know that Sam and Teal'c interests do not lay on this matter, they will follow Jack blindly. Sam is more interested in doing her science stuff without thinking it out it could have consequences (Red Sky). And Teal'c, (pardon me, T-man's fans), seems to follow his leader blindly as he did with Apophis.
And how about Daniel's expertise. LIke Jack said in Crystal Skull, the man we need is Daniel. Are they going to dismiss his extraordinary skills here too?
My point is that they can't jump into a new SG1 member as if everything (forget about relationships) will function perfectly. If they are going to be consistent with the story line, where Daniel repeatedly function as the conscience of SG1 and SGC, there would have to be consequences. If they are not, many Daniel fans (if not the majority) will find the results preposterous.
