Stargate Characters We Still Wish Had Their Own Spinoffs

Michael Shanks as Dr. Daniel Jackson in Stargate SG-1

The folks over at Screen Rant have revisited the Stargate universe and weighed in on who they believe from the Stargate universe could have/should have had a spin-off series.

Those familiar with the series will recognize most of the names. For Atlantis fans, their vote was for Steven Caldwell (played by X-Files and Supernatural alum, Mitch Pileggi) and the crew of the Daedalus, and Ronan Dex (Jason Mamoa) was tagged for and action comedy. While for SG-1 there are new adventures mused on for Teal'c (Christopher Judge) and Dr. Janet Fraiser (Teryl Rothery), among others.

And what of Daniel Jackson as played by Michael?

"Though Jack O'Neill can typically be considered the central protagonist of Stargate SG-1, Daniel Jackson is a close second. Therefore, a great many episodes are dedicated to his character. His genius often got him into mind-bendingly sticky situations that were precisely the sort of flavor expected from a science fiction series. Daniel Jackson died and came back to life in Stargate (many times), ascended, returned, started alternate timelines, and saved the world again and again. In all, this means the perfect opportunity to give the character a whole new plotline.

Daniel Jackson was never much of a military man, so the primary appeal of a Stargate spinoff that features his character in the lead role would be a sci-fi that moves away from this premise. Perhaps the series could pick up with Daniel still living on Abydos, and maybe he would be taken by the Goa'uld instead of Shar'e or Skaara. It would be an interesting twist that would result in a brand-new adventure. Unfortuantely, all these years after Stargate SG-1's 10th and final season, it's unlikely ever to happen."

Ah, if only.
