Ford was the best character on Stargate Atlantis Season 1. It was a pity to see him leave Atlantis in Season 2. I hope he will come back in Season 3.
I agree with you. Ford was a good character. Maybe Ford will make a comeback into the series in future seasons to come, or maybe he won't. Eitherway, its up to the producers and directors and crew to see if Ford should make a comeback into the series. Personally, I hope he does return. At least, in order to provide closure to the character itself, even if it means killing him off, or something else. --Ned Talamoa (talk) 10:45, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Season 5 cameo

I know it's true, I know a lot of people have seen it, but I can't find any sources to verify it. When you find one, please add it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Richard Jackson (talk • contribs) 16:08, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I added a link to IMdB's credit listing for that episode. Hopefully that's good enough. 209.6.19.88 (talk) 15:32, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When I cited IMdB on a different page, User:Addhoc reverted it. We'll just have to hope he doesn't find out. --Ye Olde Luke (talk) 19:53, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings! I've previously reviewed Jeffrey Spender and as there is a rather large backlog under Film and Television I thought I'd help out and review some more.

Overall:
Pass or Fail:

Lead/Infobox

No major problems that I can see.

Character arc

Done "The only family that Ford mentions are his grandparents." Then why does the infobox mention a cousin?

Done "Ford is diagnosed to have suruvived an overdose of addictive" rewrite and spelling.

Done CITEs two and three should be moved to their respective claims.

Done "Pegasus galaxy to harvest their enzyme that would give him super-human strength." needs a rewrite, also I'm seem to remember he needed the enzyme (in the sense that he was addicted) am I remembering correctly?

Done "The Wraith-enzyme allowed Ford to immediately rematerialize on-board a Wraith-hive ship," it did?

Done "help in destroying an entire Wraith Hive-ship," as opposed to part of one?

Conceptual History

Done Doesn't mention developing the character before the series started.

Done "Ford had not worked as intended and was highly underused as a result." needs a CITE.

Done Sentence 4 and 5 both need CITEs.

Done "they had reduced Ford to a recurring character in the series." Can the announcement saying this be found.

Done "never fully developed compared to the other characters in the show" needs a CITE, also "many fans" which ones and where?

Done "Many campaigns to save the character were created after the announcement." a few examples would be nice.

Done "since he and Brad Wright had already discussed the change." needs a CITE.

Reception

Bit on the small side and only seems to focus on his "Bring back" campaign, which whilst important, doesn't really tell us why people wanted him back. Does "F.O.R.D." still exist somewhere?

Not done I can't seem to find anything else!

That should be okay, a minor character that only existed for one season. Should be fine as-is. Sanguis Sanies (talk) 21:17, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

References

Done As with the other GA reviews I've done a simple rewrite on the "credits=" parameter is needed.

Done CITE 8, 10 and 11 need to have publication dates added "date="

Doneall the weblinks check out so no problems there.

Rematerializing on Wraith-Hive ship

"The Wraith-enzyme allowed Ford to immediately rematerialize on-board a Wraith-hive ship"

This is incorrect. The enzyme made Ford semi-resistant to the Wraith stunner. When captured and stored people are somehow stunned so they will be unconscious long enough for them to be imprisioned when they are rematerialized.

Ford's resistance to the stunner meant that he was immediatly conscious when being rematerialized so could fight and escape when the Wraith came to move him from where people are dropped to a cell.

Mention of this should be removed or corrected. 81.129.124.210 (talk) 17:40, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

F.O.R.D

No where does the article state what F.O.R.D means. Perhaps the "F" is for "Ford" or "Francks". Or maybe the whole things stands for "Friends of Ronon Dex". Astronaut (talk) 17:39, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
