I love Joe Flanigan, I could watch him indefinitely, he has such a natural depth of character that you can get from just watching this interview. Seeing him being himself makes me realise that he didn't have to change all that much in order to portray Sheppard in a really convincing way, and that's pretty special to me.
Hi from 2024! Still fed up, that they still don't get the movie into being! Cancelling SGA was just . . . Well, I am not allowed to use these kind of words here! But I am sure, you can imagine, what I wish to say!!!
johnnyscifi oh I agree with you on that... one of my favorite SGA episodes. Johnny Cash made it that much more intense for me, just glad they didn't use Neil Diamond's version lol
It was a great episode but it should have been done sooner it could have opened up so many episode possibilities it's like a star trek hologram episode with out the holographic suits!
@@sunterror55 I really liked it when it was airing... Like REALLY liked it, it was incredible. It was so thrilling and the stuff was getting so good towards season 2 and it seemed season 3 and forward would've been amazing, I was so sad about it being cancelled, it almost felt like my destiny was taken away from me, pun obviously intended, but it kind of did, really. I know it sounds ridiculous but it's the truth, I was sad about it for so long and tried everything I could think of to support the show coming back. Now however, the show does not have nearly as much rewatchability as SG1 and SGA does. Those shows are amazing. They're so good to just watch over and over while Universe is like... Much more of a... Like... I REALLY wanted to know what was going to happen next, what *was* the ultimate destiny?! So while the darker and somber mood in Universe was something that contributed to its downfall, because for the majority of fans that wasn't what they were looking for in Stargate, the more mystical and serious mood was also what contributed to it being so loved by a smalller portion of the fans. Now however, the one I'd like to see more of the most is Atlantis. I still watch that show several times every year. I really hope the new project is going to be big and involve the cast from both SG1 and Atlantis and that it'll be big
I've never watched interviews and stuff very much in the past, I've watched countless reruns of SG1&SGA, averaging a few times every year but in the past week or so I've been devouring Stargate interviews, Podcasts, Flanigan's and Hewlett's livestreams etc.. I can't get enough of it! I really hope the new Stargate project is going to be big and involves both SGA and SG1 casts so much!
@@BurkenProductions it wasn't given enough time plus you got use to stargate one way and that's cool I wish for the love of stargate and your love for stargate it will grow on you SG1 is my favorite by far they did so much with it and that's why ending sgu so early sucks cause we missed out on so much it was slow at times but come on dude Lou f****** diamond Phillips badass Daniel Jackson showing up Colonel Jack O'Neill visiting the destiny and Lou f****** diamond Phillips
Great interview !! Wish I'd been at VanCon *sighs* I totally loved 'Vegas' and have to agree that it would have opened up a whole new realm of possible storylines, so wish we'd had a sixth season and hopeful for the movie (or many movies) Love that Joe is pretty honest although Im sure he wudda wanted to say more about BW !!!! ;))) ty for sharing !!!! Totally saved to favourites !!!! xoxo
gordon If there is a men's hair wax that's actually called Bed Head. There's dozens of other similar type of hair goop that will position anybody's hair in whatever shape you want.
Actually, it's mostly natural with him. Cowlicks everywhere, so it's pretty untameable and does as it pleases, apparently. Which I would imagine makes it difficult to copy.
you all do realize that his comment is a reference to stargate atlantis? from the episode "irresistible" when lucious lavin ask that of john and ronon.
I hope and wish that there will be a star gate Atlantis movie to show what has happen in the years passed by and what has happen to those characters since then
Ya know, they said they were gonna have a movie beacuse they wanted the show to still be "fresh." But I think the fans would like another season of Atlantis anyday, over a movie. Now MGM totally screwed SGA up. Its been 3 years now. Anyway, thanks for posting this! :)
Shame the 2 greats digital shows Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantic put it out air so many good things about this sifi action . I really missed . Shameful people the persons who did do it.
I can´t understand how did they cancel this show after 10 season of SG1 and 4 of Atlantis, i bet there was a huge public, they made lot of money, they had the people, the story, everything ..!! to make more money with this franchise. I don´t know how do they take this decisions but it still think this was a financial error.
SGU is a darker idea than SG1 and SGA, unfortunately it wasn't very good commercially. It's a nightmare scenario and i think it just makes the normal crowd uncomfortabIe.. I loved SGU aswell as the both previous series, but in another way
Man they canned this way too early. SGU as well. Some of you guys may have thought that it sucked but I thought it was pretty decent. I seriously want to know why this got canned though. It was an awesome series!
SGA got canned for SGU if you didn't know and SGU got canned because it basically sucked. Our subjective opinions don't matter much, the ratings sucked. Bad decision, they should have picked one season of each (and that's the exact choice they had), at least finish SGA decently. SGU never really fired up, only a portion of gaters liked it but no fresh blood, I think. So the 2nd season was already filmed only because they got 2 at once at the expense of SGA. Still hate to think about such heartless stupidity. Which is the very reason the franchise fans hate SGU (that and complete absence of heroic team spirit like before).
I'm pretty sure everyone finds it darker than sg1 and sga, and i really think they did a good try in creating that feeling.. If, however, sgu were the true reason two movies were cancelled, i'll change my opinion.
They did the same thing to firefly, cancelded it prematurely. SGU doesnt have the same level of depth as SGA, for one im not too fond of the charaters or the actors who play them, the best character on SGU is Eli but even he is pale in comparison to a charater like the arrogant, condecending yet brilliant Dr. McKay.
It would have been better to do a couple of more seasons of Atlantis than do SGU. A lot of fans including myself preferred StarGate Atlantis, instead of SGU which was a much different style of storytelling. I could never get into SGU. With any luck Amazon buying MGM recently in 2021 will put out a new StarGate hopefully within a year, with some much loved veteran SG stars as guest stars (or as main cast roles), much like what is happening with Star Trek Picard (with Picard and Seven and other TNG stars showing up).
Agree, SGU wasn't a good successor as it had too much artificial drama, with everyone freaking out every 5 seconds beyond what was reasonable, and artificial adolescent interpersonal drama. I'm all for a darker tone, but it needs to feel realistic and not forced.
Joe, we're in the age of kickstarters now.... think about it man... I know David still has a thing for sga, seeing him this year with his son watching sga for the first time. get that going. YOU KNOW... as well as we do, we want something more... if you're too far away from it now, ... be a producer. but bring it back man... ask and ye shall receive... $$ :) At least a feature length proper movie... heck, SG1 got 2... Oo much respect to you mate.. from aus.
The issue is far more complex than just having money. You have to navigate the legal system of intellectual property rights for those that currently hold it. I think it was rumored that they tried to put something together but the MGM bankruptcy and IP holdings caused issues.
Check this scenario. .. Let's go back to Las Vegas, in an alternate world. He really didn't die. Years later, let's take it from there. Thoughts anybody? 😊
I was upset on how they ended SGA and especially how they ended SGU its sad that stargate is over after so long, also all hope for a movie based the three series is over as well, sigh what a lousy way to end a great franchise
rommel4844 yes very bad. The even messed with the original story both for tv show and movie. I don’t wish to spoil if you wish to experience this travesty for your self.
@JB9208 Atlantis was easily one of the best sci-fi shows to come along in a while, especially when it ran concurrent with SG-1 (TNG and DS9 style). The only reason its ratings dipped enough to justify cancelling it was because of the sophomoric, sex-laden, plagiaristic likes of BSG. The simpletons were so eager to see their space-set soap opera bullshit that they simply ignored SGA until that crap came on each Friday night.
i still think SGA could of gone 2-4 more seasons really sucks they had to end it up at 5 SGA had alot of great char's like SG1 . didnt like SGU. what a shame too. i still what sga every few months since its no longer on tv heh.
what happened to the stargate enteprise--the fans are still around, but its like the management gave up. First huge mistake was cancelling SGA--obviously a well loved show. You eithrer loved or hated SGU--I pretty much boycotted the series (sorry guys!) due the the abrupt cancellation of SGA. Now not even a movie to tie up loose ends for SGA--sucks!!! Its ashame they let this franchise go down the drains--whoever made the decisions clearly didnt know what the fans wanted--Miss the Shep!!

he actually tried to buy the SGA franchise. Which I think really shows how dedicated all the cast were, and how much fun they had.

Joe Flanigan is great! He should be part of any Stargate/Gateworld series!
I am still salty about SGA getting canceled.
bitter
One of the best shows ever and one of the best characters ever! Why oh why did they cancel it so soon? 😢
SF is almost universally mishandled by suits. Better to just do it ourselves.
Vegas was an awesome episode!

Great show bro, what a shame, they canned it way to early.
I love this tv show
me too
honestly atlantis was the best stargate series
hell ya it was
I agree. I started watching SGU and I don't really like it... Its too somber
Yeah it was the best! SGU wasn't that good at all... more of a soap opera or island survival theme to that, pretty depressing.
cant say,that was better or worse.. even SGU was some kind of spirit.. uniqueanyway.. great shows,all of them

How does he get his hair to go like that?

If there is a men's hair wax that's actually called Bed Head.
There's dozens of other similar type of hair goop that will position anybody's hair in whatever shape you want.

I can't believe how randomly he got into acting, such a fluke. Lucky guy. What a journey.
It's good to know that he was kinda sad that the show didnt get to go on
yeap agreed
I think the show has to have at least 20 seasons.
it could have had 20 more!
"I think he's...he's pretty dead." Oh JFlan.
I agree, it was a great show, with great actors.But I am on my 3rd time into watching it from the beginning on Net Flix Streaming...
I hope and wish that there will be a star gate Atlantis movie to show what has happen in the years passed by and what has happen to those characters since then
Please please bring back another season of star trek Atlantis miss them so much
Still my favorite SGA episode!
RUclips just recommended this to me on September 20, 2022. Better late than never, I guess?
Just saw him on SEAL Team. My husband and I recognized him at the exact same time - by his voice! He has put on a few pounds, but still looks good.
Vegas, a Masterpiece srsly
Thanks Gateworld!
"I... I think he's pretty... dead." xD Love Joe... So sad they cancelled. And what about that SGA movie!? :(
Love you Joe
Joe Flanigan kinda has the character of John or the other way arround :P
the las vegas episode was the best in my opinion - and I think he's right about all the avenues it opened up. the earth episodes were interesting.
I used to love this show.
Billybob James I love the show to miss it on TV
I miss atlantis :(

Yep I cud of woch him all day long I miss Joe Flannigan
Atlantis Movie!!PLS!!
They should have done another 3 seasons and a film.
It was the last filmed episode. Just not the last shown.
there is a reason for the main characters' name in Mass Effect ; D
Man those were good shows! People at the networks have no clue.

Too bad MGM didn't want to sell him the series rights... That could have been pretty neat
umm ya they actually tried calling it 'CSI Atlantis', homage i'd say is more appropriate
Bad enough the best SG show ever was cancelled but then the SGA movies gets shit canned. Wooo totally sux.
SG1 was good until the Ori showed up. After that I was like "Yay for SGA!"
I hope the SGA movie gets done.
ikr i was so sad when it ended
The cast, the producers, MGM and the fans miss it i hope it comes soon before joe looks too old.
SGU does'nt have the same panache as previous SG1 and SGA series
I didn’t like it when they canceled SG one and SG Atlantis I was very disappointed but I do still watch them I have them on DVD good entertainment
