"Power Couple" - Interview with Michael Shanks & Lexa Doig (2019) 

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!

Daniel aged, Rommie doesn't. She is obviously an android. I had a huge crush on her tbh.

The perfect way to start off an interview about Stargate: Talking about cake. If only O'Neill had been there...

Missing Stargate so much...

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

"I spawned offspring with this ... Oh my God!" - yeah, so married. Too funny.

WOW! Watching Lexa jump in on Michael’s answers is like watching my wife jump in when I’m talking to someone. Just WOW.

honestly, these darker tv shows, like game of thrones, westworld etc will age so much worse than sg-1 did. Its a masterpiece

I have loved both of these people.. but I had no idea they were married.. :0)

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 miss SG-1 and Atlantis, re-watching both now.

I loved Lexa on Andromeda, pretty fun show...

Lexa still gorgeous as ever. Time has been kind to her.

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 😁

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.

Loved Lexa in Andromeda and loved Michael in SG1 and SG Atlantis. Thanks so much for this ❤

GREAT INTERVIEW, WOW!!! LEXA IS GORGEOUS 😍 STILL CATCH EPISODES OF ALL THE STARGATE SERIES ON COMET TV😎👍

The two are so close, they finish each other lines...

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. :)

Lexa is drop dead gorgeous...my god she is still stunning! Wow!

The sarcasm is strong with these two.

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.

two of my favorite actors and on series I loved.

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.

I love these two! They are hilarious!

Who knew? That's great that these two are together.

LOL 🤣 "I didn't know about it until I read it in Gateworld".

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.

5:00-5:28 Michael just being absolutely awesome

i met mike shanks at a convention in london in the earley 2000"s such a nice bloke,a couple of years late met him again and he signed a shedload of dvds for me,he really went out of his way to do this for me,then i met lexa and and to take her photo for one of my scifi buddies dave,she let me take a picture and insisted i took another one,funny thing was when i got back and got the photos developed the 1st picture was really bad,the second one was brilliant,and it cheered my mate up no end because he was going through quite a bad time,respects to them both from simon (not with broken hand anymore)if they read this they might remember me,

"I thought I'd aged out of stretch leather." Michael, that is your cue, dude!! Will say the look said "not a chance babe"

I missed Stargate so much I went and got *all* the books for SG1 and Atlantis. Just so many more stories/episodes that could have been made and I experienced them all and with the actors voices and mannerisms. It was really great and suggest if you are curious to get just one book and read it. Mine are all books and got read in bed at night. 👍

Lexa Doig: *'I...spawned offspring with this."* 😝😝😝😝😝😝😝

Cute couple! God Bless Them! 🙏🏼

O'Neill, Daniel Jackson, teal'c their sense of humor is what needs to come back you can find characters that have sense of humor and It'll be a great story. I mean they also found characters that fit that description in Atlantis.

Cool, my favorite Hollywood couple!

I didn't know about them married. Cool!

I would love to see something more about the previous human generations. Story like from 10000 years before Sg1, or the first gatebuilders story.

Lexa was so good in both Andromeda and Arrow.

That is what I like about SG1 (what Lexa was saying more or less), it expands my mind imaginatively but/and/also has normal day to day drama that is not pushed or shoved into you sort of. SG1 was the first Sci-fi show I think that also made me roll on the floor laughing and a minute or two later you could shed a tear. Love Star-trek to bits, but it was not as fun as SG1 (or Atlantis which I also loved!). The only show today that sort of have that vibe is Seths "The Orville". Would love to have Strange New Worlds working out also but the 3-4 episodes I have watched does not really do it for me (Anson Mount is good so I have still hopes for it though). Then again my fav Star-trek is TNG and yes the first 2 seasons are not that great either... so I guess I have to give it some more time... If a SG series would startup again I would love it, but I do think my to high expectations will probably sadly ruin it. Remember a girl friend that was not into Sci-fi at all... she always said it was not believable... so I had to watch romantic movies like "Notting Hill" for example... When I explained that I don't think that movie (for example) is believable either she just looked at me with strange eyes...

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?

Gatecon is a thing!!!

6:31 I wish we'd gotten to see Teal'c try more Earth things for the first time. We know he liked pizza, but never got to see him try his first bite, and that is just feels wrong.

Remember how many times Daniel died on screen? lmao

Michael shanks looking like had too much to drink the night before 😅

Lexa Doig is still hot... O_O

Lexa is still a beautiful woman, has not aged since Andromeda

And the award for Most Outstanding Spackle Job goes to .... Amazingly I find Lexa more attractive here at almost 46 then I did in her shows. Yes, makeup, but still!

"IT'S ME!"

SciFi Royalty - I love them both!

Like seriously, the episode was called star crossed like wtf somebody knew something from way back when?

I love these guys, as I do the whole cast of the 2 shows.....(Universe was crap!).......Jealous of Michael so so much but they are great together. Miss them on screen. Thank you for the upload.....

Oh my god!! What's happened to Michael shanks!! Hardly recognised him apart from The Voice. Lexa hasn't changed.

I remember back then I had such a crush on Michael. So seeing his real life wife join the show really ruined it for me. Now that I'm older I've seen Michael do many interviews and panels and there's something about his personality that bothers me. Takes a strong woman to be with him. I didn't expect them to still be together after all this time.

Watch Andramida

ASK THEM WHY NEITHER OF THEIR SHOWS ARE ON NETFLIX YET!

She is so beautiful.

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.

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

Every time I see an interview of a Stargate cast member, my heart bleeds and yearns for more Stargate!!

Those two are hilarious. He is trying to find the right word to say. She steps in and finishes the thought for him.

A true married couple interaction 🤣

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.

Please do one with David Hewlett and his sister

*_"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 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

Only one question remains: How can she be so perfect??

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.

Oof! Am I really getting this old?

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.

I was heartbroken when Teryl left the show.

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 :)

BRING BACK THE SHOW! Bring back fan favs as recurring characters or even main ones!

I'm still searching for something that could replace the hole that sg1 left in my heart but I still haven't found it.

please bring back the stargate

LOL! Now I know why they're married. I think that's a marriage that is going to last a while.

Wow, how much I miss these folks. Lexi only gets more beautiful as time passes.

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.

They get along really well, you do not see that much in Hollywood

Doig has aged shockingly well. Also shit son Shanks looks TIRED. More tired than I've ever seen him outside of maybe some incidences of Daniel being on the edge of giving up.

Lexa is easily the best looking spaceship in all sci-fi!

These two are hilarious together.

I've always loved Michael in SG-1, and it is always a treat to see the incredibly gorgeous Andromeda Ascendant...

Thank you very much for making this happen.

"I spawned offspring with this." - Dead! :D

WOW Lexa NEVER ages, sooo beautiful!

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

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 :)

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!

Awe man. I miss Michael Shanks acting. He was phenomenal IMO

Michael needs a nap.

Their marriage is joyful.

I think Lexa has inherited the Dorian Gray genes, although to be honest I didn't realise that was Michael for a second or two until I heard him speaking. I love the banter between them, they act like a stereotypical married couple, hilarious :D

I remember her playing the character of "Cowgirl"on the series "TekWar".

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.

16:00-16:15 lexa ‘s turn to be absolutely awesome hahaha

God I miss Stargate, there is still nothing that comes close to filling the void that's been left even after all these years.
