For longtime fans of the Stargate series, Dr. Daniel Jackson is more than just a character; he is the heart and soul of the franchise. From the very first second of screen time he stepped onto the screen in the original Stargate movie (3 minutes into the theatrical cut), through his pivotal role in "Stargate SG1," and his impactful presence in "Stargate Atlantis" and "Stargate Universe," Dr. Jackson has been a constant source of inspiration and intrigue. Portrayed flawlessly by beloved Canadian actor Michael Shanks, the character's intricate blend of intelligence, bravery, and charm has captivated audiences and made him an indispensable fan favorite of Stargate.

Without Dr. Daniel Jackson's relentless thirst for knowledge, unwavering moral compass, and, yes, dazzling blue eyes, the storyline of the Stargate universe would simply fall flat. His fearless approach to facing life's uncertainties, coupled with his ever-expanding biceps, has won over not only our hearts but our loyal devotion to Stargate as a series.

With Amazon announcing a revival and continuation series, it is imperative that they recognize what longtime viewers and devoted fans already know: Stargate is incomplete without Dr. Daniel Jackson. Michael Shanks' portrayal brings a level of authenticity and depth to the role that cannot be duplicated or replaced. His return as a series regular in the Stargate continuation is not just a tribute to the character's legacy, but absolutely necessary step to ensure the success of the series relaunch.

To the decision-makers at Amazon, we, the devoted fanbase, urge you to invite Michael Shanks back to reprising this iconic role. By doing so, you honor the past and assure the series' dynamism and continuity for the future.

Let's rally behind this cause and show Amazon the unwavering support Dr. Daniel Jackson rightfully deserves. Sign this petition to bring back Michael Shanks as Dr. Daniel Jackson, and let him continue to enthrall us with his unparalleled screen presence.
