    He is just slightly reticent about praising RDA, you tend to think the on screen chemistry of the characters (which was great in this respect) transposes to the actors, but there are definitely caveats, maybe a little bit of ego, for sure they got on based on what they have said, and it wouldn't have worked otherwise on screen, but he does the actor thing of praising his colleagues whatever, sence it's not 100% rainbows and lollipops.

    I loved every episode Michael Shanks did and SG1 is my favorite show of all time because of your performances and the overall group dynamics and hopefulness and humor of the show. It's been a year since I went through the show last and it's time to start over again

      I'm on series 9, I didn't watch 9 and 10 as I didn't like one of the films and assumed 9 and 10 wasn't worth watching. I really like series 9, I hope I can find series 10. Watched series 1 to 8 probably 3 or 4 times, yes, like you I'll go 1 to 9 in a few months. I love the humour and stories, they are so well written and performed

    The best decision i ever made and the best years of my life were joining the air force in ‘06 right after high school. I chose security forces 100% because of watching this show as a kid. Never got to see the SGC, go off world, or fight aliens, but i did stand in my fair share of hallways at parade rest and walk back and forth in front of fences.

    I really appreciate Michael taking the time to speak about his time on Star Gate/SG-1. Daniel Jackson was my favorite character on the show and he completely nailed that role. I can't imagine anyone else playing Daniel Jackson. Well done sir and thank you.

    We need a new series with Daniel as the older, wiser leader of an archaeological expedition in the SG universe. Still with the military element, but the focus should be on exploring some new mysterious frontier.

    I know that no studio would green light a Stargate production that didn't have vibrant young actors (think of the hilarious youth oriented recasting scene in the SG-1 episode 200) but I'd watch SG-1 episodes with all of the original actors... forever. They don't need to run and gun. The dialog and character interactions were the best, and that's a credit to both the actors and the writers.

    For some reason, I couldn't access the comments during the live, so I didn't have a chance to ask anything. But this was a great interview. I credit your approach @DialtheGate to making him feel at ease and on the difficult stuff, not making him feel backed into a corner. He seems relaxed and open to the questions, and I enjoyed his willingness to laugh at situations but also be honest. He's had many years to process, grow, and as He said has learned a lot about the gift Stargate SG-1 really was. I enjoyed hearing about his other projects, family, and silly happenings. I hope He does return next season. I would love to hear about his time on Saving Hope and his interactions and experiences with that crew. Thanks for all the hard work this season! :)

  • @CielBlanche
    @CielBlanche 11 месяцев назад +2

    I hope that Michael doesn't undervalue his work playing Daniel in the early seasons just because another actor previously played a version of the character. Of course, nobody takes anything away from Heath Ledger or Joaquin Phoenix because they weren't the first Joker, and the same should be true here. Michael's Daniel Jackson was a wonderful and affecting character in a way that the film version never had the chance to be. In the first five seasons, when SG-1 had a consistently more mature edge to it, Jackson was often the one speaking to real issues of politics, military, foreign policy, ethics, culture, and philosophy. He's the character that largely elevated the show into a work that had something poignant to say, and Michael's performance brought the believability and humanity to it that made it so moving. It's understandable to want to do something else after half a decade, but I'll always cherish those early years with the character.

    Story starting roughly 6:00 - I had appendicitis just over a week ago, they did a test by pushing on the area and it hurt a lot, they then gave me a CT scan and I was in surgery 2 hours later to get it removed. Still bruised with scabbing from keyhole surgery with 3 incision marks.
    I went to A&E at 3:30AM, got seen at 11am, got cut at 4pm, send home the next day at 5pm. All for free. Thumbs up to the NHS.

There's lots of good ideas out there based on favorite episodes, release date, supposed date of discovery of the Stargate or first supposed date of successful activation, or significant numbers related to Stargate operations. Whatever it is, it needs to make sense, and preferably in a fun way 😉

    You don’t know who to believe: the scuttle butt about Shanks leaving SG1 because he didn’t want to be known for this role or friends of his saying nonsense, he enjoyed his time with SG1. Here’s a fact: actors need to understand human psychology as related to such a long running popular show. Somehow, in our minds he is Dr. Danial Jackson. I don’t care if his latest project is The Antichrist Strikes Boston with him in the starring role, he remains Daniel Jackson. Charlton Heston has an impressive resume as well: he is Moses and Ben Hur. I wish I understood why this is psychologically. Knowing this could free up actors for not wanting to be type cast. Unfortunately, typecasting exists in fans minds…not because we are inherently mean, it just occurs. Anyone?

    Speaking of Dom, that reminds me of Maury Chaykin who guested on SG-1. I think Stargate might have been the first time I really noticed him (or even seen him). Such a great actor, and seems like he too would have been a funny guy (but maybe I'm wrong).
    I really liked the TV show that he acted in called "Less Than Kind", which I think ran until his death (edit: even despite his death). He was kind of an under-known under-recognized under-utilized actor in my opinion.

    David, these interviews with the cast, crew, guests, and production personnel are amazing, interesting and captivating and I hope you continue to bring them to us for many years. However, regarding any rejuvenation or rebooting of the series with any of the original or future characters is as unlikely as the Stargate being a real and practical device and manner of intergalactic travel. The fact of the matter is that too much time has elapsed between the shows ending (SG1, Atlantis, Universe) that any remake or reboot of the series is impractical. Perhaps in 30+ years a reasonable facsimile will emerge, albeit to a totally different audience and demographic. But in the interim, please continue your interviews and video history of one of the best SciFi (next to ST:TOS) franchises that has ever graced our television screens. MH

      Stargate, especially SG1 and SGA are the epitome of what science fiction can be, the characters follow morals and show us the world as it ought to be, I like how star trek portrayed this, but they made it far to black and white, stargate explored the gray area and in doing so allowed us to view the human condition in it's raw form rather than a sterilized good/evil dichotomy that so much television sci-fi presents. The only other sci-fi on its level is The Expanse, at least in my opinion.

    OK finally had the time to make it all the way though....great, as anticipated! But am I the only one that thought Michael looked a bit disgusted when he was talking about the reboot?? Hope it's me being paranoid, because it seems like nearly all us Stargate fans, as well as those on the show, share the EXACT vision of what we want. Which is pretty amazing. So of course I'm terrified Amazon will do the exact opposite. Oh I hope it's just a bad read on my part.

    I keep waiting for SG-1 to come back as reruns. I really loved the show & especially all the top 4! I miss it!
