THANKS FOR WATCHING THE INTERVIEW! This was a ton of fun to do, and we're grateful to Michael and Lexa for sharing some of their time with us.
Got someone you'd like to see us interview in the future? Suggest 'em below!
Dear god ,bring back SG1 and or Atlantis !!!!!!!!! They are STILL better then anything out now
When was this recorded? It was posted a week ago, but the blood scandal series that Michael is talking about has already been broadcast on the CBC.
www.cbc.ca/unspeakable/episodes/season-1
@@BOOSTEDLASER I'd love season four of Dark Matter.
@@Humbilly WTF is that done??? How about Killjoy? Not stargate quality but I liked both.Also that Space show with John Crian and scorpie..with Claudia Black
@@BOOSTEDLASER Killjoys was a great show. Nothing wrong with it. Dark Matter was cancelled after season three, but Joe Mallozzi is still hopeful of a completing it in the future.
It’s so weird to see that Lexa looks like she has literaly stood still in time, while Micheal seems he just aged normally.
I’m glad they’re both still well and I just love the continuing chemistry between the two.
It is called makeup. That, and asian genetics.
Yep lexa is still cute
She clearly looks caked in makeup so nah....
@@eraldorh ehm on stage she always had makeup and doesn't look to be much of it there believe me i know some girls that are using spatula for that.
Rick van Os asian genes.
Missing Stargate so much...
they are working on new series so just wait :)
@@Sheppardsg1
Awesome! ...but dear god PLEASE leave the social justice activism out of it..!!!!!!!! It has already ruined Star Wars and Star Trek. 🙏
You know they won't. The whole SJ Activism has infected nearly everything now,so be prepared to Discovery plot quality.
@@Seastallion One of my fears. I really like Michael but stay off his Twitter, it'll make you upset. He's very left wing. Most actors are.
@@Astrothunderkat
Yeah, I figured. So is RDA pretty much. I don't mind the actors having Left leaning politics so long as they don't use their acting work itself as a political platform. I've never noticed Shanks or Anderson pushing politics in any particular heavy handed way. One might find minor examples, but it has never overshadowed everything else. What politics they support on their own time is their business as far as I'm concerned, they just shouldn't allow personal politics to dictate the stories of the show.
Man Shanks looks old but it's been more than 10 years since SG1 was cancelled so it makes sense. Daniel remains one of my favourite characters in any tv show
when i look in the mirror
Really? She is extremely beautiful, doesn’t look 20 anymore, but she is still a 10 by any definition of beauty.
Richard Dean Andersson looks unrecognisable. Amanda Tapping is still hot since we saw her in Supernatural.
Sam Geurdi Well he’s 70 years old, give him a break.
@@lindamuvic8110 The original poster is talking about Michael not Lexa.
"I spawned offspring with this ... Oh my God!" - yeah, so married. Too funny.
Every time I see an interview of a Stargate cast member, my heart bleeds and yearns for more Stargate!!
Indeed. from here I go to Stargate clips.
Especially scenes with those being interviewed characters in it.
Daniel aged, Rommie doesn't. She is obviously an android.
I had a huge crush on her tbh.
Andromeda was actually a documentary
Still do.
No one escaped Rommie's pull
Seeing her now, I kind of still have a crush on her, tbh.
Think every male viewer did, especially since most of us watched Andromeda in our high-hormone teen years
Those two are hilarious. He is trying to find the right word to say. She steps in and finishes the thought for him.
My wife does the same for me. It happens.
That's how married life is. I'm glad to see they are still together.
I noticed..... she's finishing his sentences....then wiki....oh they are together....lol
Yeah they are a model couple.
So married - but surprisingly normal for two actors. Refreshing!
A true married couple interaction 🤣
The perfect way to start off an interview about Stargate: Talking about cake.
If only O'Neill had been there...
NICE!
The only subject in which the word "moist" is acceptable.
Only one question remains: How can she be so perfect??
genetics and um CANADIAN?
Her? What about him?
Michael with the deep nerd cut of kobiyashi Maru star trek reference lol. And a damn good use of it too with a no win scenario
honestly, these darker tv shows, like game of thrones, westworld etc will age so much worse than sg-1 did. Its a masterpiece
Not sure what it is with Hollywood. Andromeda started out as a great premise and an upbeat show with humour then it went dark!
Don't they realise we watch them to be entertained no depressed?
@@lauriestlyon8773 I think it's a sort of obsession with being "adult" which really doesn't age well, because the only universal thing for humans is childlike humor, wonder and excitement. It's much better to bond through humor and comfort than heart ache and fear.
Comedies tend to age well because it seems to be a lot more timeless if it's not too topical with the humor it presents.
WOW! Watching Lexa jump in on Michael’s answers is like watching my wife jump in when I’m talking to someone. Just WOW.
Michael Shanks is so great. I was glad to hear when these two hooked up, and love that they are still together.
The biggest, most important thing that Stargate needs to return... a network, or publisher who believes in it.
Michael Shanks looked tired, but they both appear happy. It's great to see them pleased with Stargate, their characters, and the fans. I thank them both for their time, sharing their opinions and memories with us fans, who love the shows so much. Way to go Darren and David and others, keeping our interest going after all these years. Also, listen to what Lexa Doig says starting at around 17:00 minutes, regarding Stargate's success.
Sci-Fi shows today Lack the HOPE and Lightheartedness they need to be inspiring for Audiences.
Farescape, Firefly, SG1, SGA, STtng, STE, Andromeda, etc.... All great.
If I read this 2 years ago, I maybe would say yes. But today Star Trek Discovery is actually doing the same thing for the current generation. The problem is that we relied on our childhood or youth and that everything was fantastic.
Now, we are older and our imagination isn't working that great anymore, and it becomes harder to attach to series than we used to do. So, anything modern is automatically written off and everything from our youth was the best. And to be honest, that has nothing to do with the quality of todays sci-fi, but everything to do with yourself and your forced nostalgia. ( I know what you mean, though. But it is close minded )
Open your mind and a lot of things becomes like they were used too. Like I said, Star Trek Discovery is actually just as great and turns to be even better. The serie 'Lost in Space' has only one season and there is another in the making which is also a great one. Moviewise, Interstellar was great. And there are many others that could be mentioned.
You see, there are plenty of stuff to choose from. It's just between a bigger pile of sci-fi series. Don't let nostalgia dictates your entertainment value for the rest of your life...
The Orville is very inspiring and hopeful. Funny too.
@OzarkoBlam It wasn't glorious I give you that. Call it trash however is really too harsh. Characters were trash, actors were great. Mentality was trash, ambiance was great. Season 1 geopolitics weren't that bad. Season 1 story was quite good for science freaks sci fi fans, we kinda found a similar "research technological progress" we were all fond of in SGA. Season 2 was really trash. And it was visually stunning, even though they overdid it on biomes & nature things.
Sure it wasn't great, but I'm not gonna complain for a sci fi tv show with great sfx in 2019.
The Expanse is by far the greatest show of sf now anyway. Discovery is just peanuts
STD/STP are 100% TRASH shows.
The new Murder Treks sucks.
The Expanse ... Is Great.
Altered Carbon ... Is Great.
Anyone who says STD/STP are good just lost all credibility on Sci-Fi opinions imho.
I hated the '04 BSG because it ruined the characters and Heroes of BSG... The reboot was Trash, depressing, and uninspiring...
@@missymissymiss5192 ... Yes The Orville is Amazing. Hopeful. Heroes. Intelligently written.
I miss SG-1 and Atlantis, re-watching both now.
Awh, i envy you! i recently finished my rewatch, so i have to wait about a year or so before next one :D
I have loved both of these people.. but I had no idea they were married.. :0)
Please do one with David Hewlett and his sister
YES :)
@Anubis He had that one even during Atlantis afaik, he uploaded his stargate rap and apology video during that time iirc. The channel was a bit dead for a few years but now the last few years he's been relatively active, especially recently.
Agreed i like David
HELL YES!
@English person He does it together with his kid. Man I wish I had a dad like him when I was a teeenager. My Dad wasn't a very good one as he was always in excruciating pain making him very grumpy most of the time, and because of that we never really bonded. I mostly stayed out of his way. I don't blame him for getting an extremely painful disease (Spondilitis), but it didn't do me much good either. I have trouble bonding with people and when I do it's for very specific reasons, very unlike normal friendships. They never last long either.
Thank you very much for making this happen.
First off I feel bad I didn't realize it was Lexa on arrow. However she's great and still gorgeous. Michael was always an amazing actor on gate, even if they decide to kill him every other episode. Great interview please keep them coming.
Lexa Doig is absolutely gorgeous & still looks the same when I first ever saw her in a sequel to The professionals. CI5 The New Professionals 1999 it was short lived but she made such an impression with me that I watched nearly every series she has starred in since. She is a brilliant actor and has such incredible on screen presence, plus she seems to have a wicked sense of humour. Both her & her Husband Michael Shanks seems really well suited
*_"I married_** this. **_I spawned offspring with_** this. -- Lexa Doig*
😄😄😄😄
It's going to seem weird because this is a Stargate interview, bit I can really see why they picked Doig to play Andromeda. She looks like she is processing and analyzing everything with such a still expression. It's kind of intense.
I've always loved Michael in SG-1, and it is always a treat to see the incredibly gorgeous Andromeda Ascendant...
BRING BACK THE SHOW! Bring back fan favs as recurring characters or even main ones!
I'd rather it fade in to obscurity than watch as it gets picked apart by modern identity politics. Let sleeping dogs lay...
@@minorityofthought1306 As much as i would like stargate to return, i have to agree. Just look at doctor who.... :/
I love SG-1, and Im a big fan of Michael’s character(Daniel) in the show.
I know its been awhile, but its nice to see Lexa as Tahlia in CW Arrowverse :)
I was heartbroken when Teryl left the show.
I cried that episode
I thought that Heroes was such a poor episode, lazy writing, and such a terrible way to treat Teryl, we hardly saw her during her "death scene", surely they could have come up with a better way than that, or better still, don't kill beloved characters off.
Wow, how much I miss these folks. Lexi only gets more beautiful as time passes.
LOVE all the Stargates! I watch them at least once a year. I'm currently going through the entire Andromeda series and loving it.. almost as much.
These two are hilarious together.
GREAT INTERVIEW, WOW!!! LEXA IS GORGEOUS 😍 STILL CATCH EPISODES OF ALL THE STARGATE SERIES ON COMET TV😎👍
Loved Lexa in Andromeda and loved Michael in SG1 and SG Atlantis. Thanks so much for this ❤
Yeah, watching him and Rodney going Funny Fast Film with their lines was something else.
I love their couple’s dynamic. Kind of what I want in a relationship too! Was great seeing them both again, and I particularly agree with what Michael said about SG-1 and (Classic) Trek sharing this more optimistic forward-facing tone. A new iteration of Stargate would need to dig back into these universal shared hopes and dreams of humanity and express them in ways a more modern audience will vibe with
I think this sentiment is why The Orville is doing better than ST:DSC.
I mean, SG-1, SG:A, TOS, TNG, VGR and Orville are light while DS9, BSG, SG:U and ST:DSC are dark.
@Marcus Knightingale thehehe. I never said anything about quality. I was only talking about TONE.
I mean DS9 was dark.
But then again Roddenberry didn't much like ST:II or the script for VI. He would have not liked Sisko being The Prophet. Or the Dominion War. BSG hold the same ideals that he would have disliked. And given that they almost tried to get a connection from an inhabited planet, SGU wasn't very diplomatic.
They are just awesome together.
I loved Lexa on Andromeda, pretty fun show...
Until the last season.
@@davidkelly4210 even the last season, sure it coulda been better but compared to Star Drek Dicksuckory amd Star Drek Puke Hard all of Andromeda was a masterpiece lolz
@@darthXreven Personal opinions are not universal truths, always keep that in mind before you go dissing something that might be someone's favourite.
@@paulmichaelfreedman8334 follow your own advice....
and have perspective....
whe we're in an age where star trek is flaming out with absolutely terrible shows and movies and SW has been devalued and Doctor Who has also been upended
any bad seen in Andromeda is still masterpiece of entertainment in comparison....but falls short of Expanse at the top and Orville just below that
that's the new bar for excellence still Andromeda as a whole was not a bad show at all, many great shows tended to go a little weird at the end in the 90's, X-Files sure as hell did pfft
I'm not talking crazy, I've been around and know what I'm talking about, maybe you need to see more shows and gain perspective
Toujours intéressant!!👌je je connaissais pas cette série unspeakable à voir
Awe man. I miss Michael Shanks acting. He was phenomenal IMO
Butter Hat Check him out in Saving Hope and Unspeakable.
@@StormntheCastle I watched Saving Hope a while, but for me they just did too much showing really disgusting wounds and stuff more and more and after a while i couldn't stand it anymore, even since i like Michael and Erika really.
Aw.. They remind me of my wife and I. I have a terrible memory and when I'm talking she does what Lexa does and helps finish what I was thinking lol.
Such a great show!
I'm still searching for something that could replace the hole that sg1 left in my heart but I still haven't found it.
The Expanse?
me too, try the orville
@@lorcis1 I dont like popcorn that much 😂😂😂😂
There is no series out there like SG-1 but the next best thing is Dark Matter. Same writer as in SG-1.
@Beautiful Sinner - Firefly has a lot of heart like SG1. Battlestar Galactica is good too.
two of my favorite actors and on series I loved.
I love these guys :-D Their heart is 10000 % in the right place.
WOW Lexa NEVER ages, sooo beautiful!
Thanks for making it. Iam always sad such perfect actors like Shanks, Browder, C. Simon never got into proper big movies. Ill always like SG1, because it is really unique show, 10-20 years latter and noone really replicated it and thats it.
Thanks for interview both of you! Loved Lexa as teen in Andromeda X-D
Well, Browder WAS in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. II, but that's not really the same.
@@FS2K4Pilot LOL i didnt even noticed him under that gold makeup .)
prolamer7 It wasn't exactly a breakout role for him, either, was it?😉
I love how much of a smartass Daniel Jackson became as the series went on.
They get along really well, you do not see that much in Hollywood
They aren't in Hollywood, which helps.
THANKS for the Interview with Michael and Lexa🛸 it was really interesting I have always watched Stargate SG1🛰 and I like all the people in the team 🚀☕🍰
And can I say I think Lexa was a nice doctor at SG1 I like lots of SYFY shows on film and TV 📺 😀 I hope you are well
Really enjoyed recently binge watching SG Atlantis, all seasons. Then Farscape, all seasons (would have been great to have had a fufth season!). I was today years old when I started to notice all the crossover casts (claudia, ben, michael etc). Have seen full SG1 and Andromeda over the years as well. Can’t forget Babylon 5 and Battlestar Gallactica as wonderful ensemble casts as well. Keep making story driven amazing shows!
please bring back the stargate
I was OBSESSED with Daniel (still am honestly) and Michael has aged beautifully 😍😂
I love these two! They are hilarious!
Lexa still gorgeous as ever. Time has been kind to her.
As shocked as we may be, it's important to allow Shanks to age. Shocking for us but probably healthier both physically and mentally for him.
He still looks very good, as does Joe Flanigan btw.
Shanks' problem is just that he is sitting next to Lexa Doig who obviously doesn't age at all.
Agreed
LOL 🤣 "I didn't know about it until I read it in Gateworld".
Where have I been?! I had no clue they were married! I just knew I saw them both in Andromeda and Star Gate SG1. Wow amazing. Lexa looks amazing. She hasn't aged one bit!
16:00-16:15 lexa ‘s turn to be absolutely awesome hahaha
Lexa is easily the best looking spaceship in all sci-fi!
That lady is at least 50% of the reason many of us watched Andromeda. 😁
Didn’t even know they were married, and I love their work
Imagine a new Stargate series or a one-off movie where different realities & timelines are crossed (star-crossed), where one timeline has Russell & Spader as their characters from the movie ... & Anderson & Shanks in another timeline ... they then meet through some gate accident. Hah. :)
The two are so close, they finish each other lines...
Cute couple! God Bless Them! 🙏🏼
Who knew? That's great that these two are together.
Their marriage is joyful.
Michael Shank such a great actor and person !!
What a great answer at the end. Characters working *together* in peril. This is so much of what is missing from other, more recent attempts at sci-fi.
18:00 - it is so rare to see someone, who actually gets - or rather got - Star Trek like that. Why can‘t more people like this actually work on Trek nowadays. Maybe it wouldn‘t suck so much then. Oh well ... wouldn‘t say no to another (good) Stargate Show either 😁
The sarcasm is strong with these two.
Thx for this video. Nice to see them again. I hope there will be a good Stargate series in the future that is more like SG-1 witch was the best Stargate series. Universe was just to dark and depressing with characters you did not cared about.
"I spawned offspring with this." - Dead! :D
5:00-5:30 Michael being absolutely awesome
Just found this!! wow they are just so awesome together and actually reminds me of my husband and I. how we banter back and forth!! Wish they would of been in that Zoom the other day but hopefully the next time right David Read?
17:55 Michael hit the nail on the head there.
The party crashing episode could have easily been cut to make Prior Daniel a 2-parter.
Really nice thoughtful interview though, especially the end with Shanks' thoughts on science fiction.
Cool, my favorite Hollywood couple!
I miss Stargate so much. Watched a Halmark movie from 2016 with Michael the other day. I truly loved this show, and Atlantis, even STU. I haven't seen continuim, i will have to look that up. Make us a new stargate.
Great Christmas movie with Michael 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I think Michael looks great, if older, which is NORMAL, people. A lot of men aren't into the whole Botox, nip/tuck thing and I like that.
Loved that ep of Andromeda they did together. Who knew that relationship would go on this long?
Lexa is drop dead gorgeous...my god she is still stunning! Wow!
Seriously! 🥰
Wow...these guys have chemistry....
I WANT MORE STARGATE CONTENT ... im re watching the sg1 show, and i gona rewatch the other shows after im done with sg1 ... so .. I WANT MORE STARGATE CONTENT :)
5:00-5:28 Michael just being absolutely awesome
Such a great couple
Lexa was awesome in Continuum. My all-time favorite show.
Stargate Atlantis Mondays at 6/5c on Comet, Stargate SG-1 Tuesdays at 6/5c on Comet
I love Michael Shanks xD
I didn't realise these two were married but I love their chemistry ^__^
God I miss Stargate, there is still nothing that comes close to filling the void that's been left even after all these years.
LOL! gotta be the best line ever, "I thought i'd aged out of stretch leather" LOL! but seriously if a reboot were to happen, the producers would def. need to get writers and cast members who could bring a sense of realness to it and family on the team like the originals did.
Lexa Doig: *'I...spawned offspring with this."*
😝😝😝😝😝😝😝
I like their chemistry 🥰 you can tell they're married
This show could of gone up to 20 + seasons SMH i want a reboot :(!!! Continue it again!!!
Awesome TV show !!!
I would love to see them all make an anniversary or special single episode of StarGate where the original Sg1 has to save the planet again. Michael Shanks and Richard D. Andersonand even Amanda Tapping has aged, but Christoffer Judge looks almost the same. It would fit perfectly!
Anderson's acting days are pretty much over I think..he's not looking good at all. Tapping looks regal in the dawn of her senior years and both Shanks and Judge could easily lose five years with a little cosmetic wizardry.
Many may have an Alexa at home, but only one has a Lexa. What a lucky guy
I love SG-1, and Atlantis. I liked the characters and it's story lines and especially the humor.
I liked their villains and how sometimes they were as a race/Nationality the enemy and sometimes some individuals within the race/Nationality not their enemies but allies or at least share a common enemy that wasn't each other at that time but will most likely be once the obstacle is removed.
I liked that dynamic because it gave me a sense of when is the other shoe going to drop and they go back to fighting each other again?
It also showed that not everyone within any group is going to share the same goals or the same way of going about getting it.
I also liked the fact that other more advanced civilizations refused to help and the reasons they gave are good ones. Not some lame ass ones. I like the fact SG-1 and Atlantis tried to be better and not always succeeding, but not necessarily because of malice or spite.
Holiday is by far my favorite SG-1 episodes. Teal'c and O'Neil were hilarious. Especially when Teal'c mentions having to shave O'Neil's head.
I loved Micheal from Atlantis and the relationship between McKay and his sister and the rest of the crew. McKay actually annoyed me the most for the first few episodes but he became my most favorite character of the show. Actually the whole supporting cast made Atlantis great.
Universe...... Meh. I watched it and it never clicked with me. So I will just leave it at that.
Stargate Origins: Catherine was corky and fun. I liked it. Could have removed the gay parts in it, that was unnecessary and killed what could have been good moments in the scenes had they not been there. A little on the SJW side but not to overly the top. I'm not a fan of SJW BS. They were pushing it with this story line, but not enough I would give it a thumbs down. But again, they were pushing it.
The yellow eyes, a bit much. But I was willing to give that a pass.
Serqet's costume and acting....... one of the down sides to this movie I would say next to the unneeded gay parts.
Plus I couldn't get out of my head Micheal was there and was thinking he was just going to be sent off to some Wraith planet to get infected for the crew of Atlantis to find and his story line continue from there. Wouldn't that have been one heck of a twist! :X
I wish we had more shows in SG-1 where other's from Earth got out to explore where it wasn't just SG-1 going to clean up the mess they made. Or got to see what happened after Atlantis landed back on Earth. Was the secret of the Stargate finally known to the whole world? Or are they just going to keep it cloaked forever?
Lexa look hot AF in some of those outfits they had her wearing on Andromeda. She was the only reason for watching that show. It's great she actually got to be part of a real show in Stargate.
The first 3 seasons were good
I remember her playing the character of "Cowgirl"on the series "TekWar".
Wow, I thought I was the only one who remembers that. I wrote a nod to that role into my V: the Series fic (Doors to Wisdom) because she was Dr. Leah Pearlman.
@@ChibiHoshiDragon yes, I remember TekWar, just about
I totally forgot about TekWar....
17:41-17:44 "That's it I'm tapping out! I want off this planet!" Me after Daniel died 😭😂
Gatecon is a thing!!!
