Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I liked the kid in Last Stand.
Last Stand, that's it. Yes, I loved the kid from his first appearance in Whatchamajig with the test. I was happy to see him again, and then crushed. I thought he was good.
I wasn't too fond of Haley, but I think she could grow on me. Actually, by the the end of her second appearance, she had a little bit.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

And Then Daniel Died. Damn you, Stargate PTB! Didn't you know? Daniel is the heart and soul of Stargate! You are evil, evil people who hate Michael Shanks! Also Sam's ugly, and evil, and she has stupid hair! (To be fair, that last bit has been true from time to time.)
(also)
Michael Shanks is a horrible, self-centered person for not renewing his contract! That bastard. What does he think, he has the right to go try other things if he wants? Besides, Daniel's an asshole anyway!
It was apparently ugly. I only caught the end of it, but you can still see occasional aftershocks, and there's still a really scary Danielite contingent out there which is the only thing that makes me wish I really liked the J/S, just to irritate them.

My position is that Michael Shanks can call me.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Please ... do tell.
I've only lurked in the main fandom briefly at the beginning of my infatuation with the show, but the war between the shipper (Sam/Jack) and the slasher (usually Daniel/Jack) contingents was like, totally out of control. Plus, there was the whole "Save Daniel Jackson" campaign in the wake of "Meridian", which sounded like it reached a kitten-board-like proportion in terms of crazy fan reactions to a departure of a character. Apparently there were death threats, although I forget whether it was to the show-runners or to Corin Nemec. I've stuck pretty close to here and the LJ crowd since then, so I don't know if they're still active now that Daniel is back.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
which sounded like it reached a kitten-board-like proportion in terms of crazy fan reactions to a departure of a character.
Still the gold standard.

There was a longass article on Salon about the fandom response to Daniel's death. Complete with much discussion about the unhappy slashers who lost their woobie.
Oh, it was amusing.
If I had the time I'd dig up a link but really I'm not here.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The kittens are a board devoted to Willow/Tara. As you might imagine, Tara's death did not go over very well there.
