Well, if at least they'd bring him back sometimes, but in this season it's as if he never existed. And to bring Beckett back (who doesn't even contribute much to the plot) just so the fans can say goodbye, while Ford is still crazy, and captured, or dead, or free - and no one CARES - makes me hate the writers a little. And Sheppard, because hey, this is the guy who was your XO and probably died because he wanted you to be proud of him.
