Yes.... exactly. I watched the episode and thought, wow....this is a contentious character.... most people will hate him because of what he is and what he's done. It really piqued my interest too, I thought.....a sly, slightly dodgy geezer as a member of SG1? Nahhhhhhhhhhh! They wouldn't, would they? Squeaky clean SG1 infiltrated by some traitorous little guy from another planet?

Why would a "slightly dodgy geezer" be on the flagship team in the first place? Even though Daniel wasn't military he proved his courage on the Abydos mission when he took a staff blast for Jack. Teal'c proved himself when he rescued them on Chulak, while Carter was career military. Jonas on the other hand, has already proved himself to be weak, treacherous and cowardly.
I've only seen him in one episode, but that was enough for me. I really tried to give him a chance, but he started to lose me when Jack confronted him about the accident and he tried to shift the blame onto Daniel. The flashback scene where he runs like a rabbit, leaving Daniel to sacrifice himself for Jonas' people only cemented the bad impression.
Maybe TPTB have some innovative plot twist up their sleeves, but judging by their track record I doubt it. I think Jonas will just turn out to be yet another **** character from the folks who brought us Marty the Dweeb, Tok'ra Ho and Cadet Haley. Then they'll probably blame "Dannyfans" for Jonas' unpopularity, instead of accepting that it was their fault for creating such an unlikable character in the first place. As I said in an earlier post, they could have invented a much more sympathetic character, but chose not to.
After all, these are the same people who killed off good supporting characters such as Martouf, Aldwin, and the entire Tollan race.
