For 10 years Stargate SG-1 was a staple science fiction TV series, going through several cast iterations and storyline changes throughout its run. Toward its end, it had gotten a bit longer in the tooth. So, I was startled when Michael Shanks opened up about being “surprised” when Stargate SG-1 eventually was canceled by Syfy. However, it’s not for the reason you’d probably guess.
After Richard Dean Anderson and Amanda Tapping hyped more, and many false starts, we finally learned a revival series would be coming down the pipeline. Those involved originally have been understandably emotional over a return, and while we wait for new details, I've been reading about the original show. This tidbit from Shanks really stood out.
