Stargate

I always really enjoyed Jonas too. When he first arrived I really missed Daniel Jackson, but I missed Jonas more when he was gone than I ever did Daniel.

I also liked Jonas Quinn, but it took a second rewatch to get over the guy wrenching despair I endured at Daniel’s death/ascension. Absolutely gutted me, I was too mad to enjoy Jonas after that. But after the second time I agree, Teal’c became more with him than he did when Daniel was part of the team. Part of me wonders if it was intentional on the writers part, like “oh we have this big gap where character was, let’s fill it with two characters instead of just replacing one”? Or if it was just kind of naturally their interactions were more fluid.

"Are you suggesting an alien conspiracy?"

Also, he managed to beat Teal'c at boxing.

That one time, and was never brought up again.

I fell in love with Daniel in the theatrical movie, and I was upset when he left the show. And Jonas just felt so incredibly disrespectful, like they were trying to insert a Daniel clone into this raw empty space. I really hated that. If they'd given him some other specialty, made him a different physical type, something. But they didn't, and I hated Jonas.

I wished Jonas was utilized better after season 6. Obviously the return of Michael Shanks trumps Corin, but Jonas was such a fresh character that help push the exposition along.

However, if you look at Corin Nemec's twitter account, the dude is a bit of a nutjob.
