As much as I adore James Spader as Daniel in the movie, Michael Shanks makes a pretty damn good Daniel too. And one thing I have to say in favour of him; he definitely aged better.
I watched all the earlier ones -- repeatedly -- until they killed/ascended Daniel. At that point I realized what utter and complete assholes the producers were and gave up. I've seen bits and pieces of later episodes, but that's all.
I am ridiculously angry at the show, in a way that embarrasses me. I mean, Daniel is a fictional character, right? But they treated him (and Michael Shanks) so shabbily, plus I think the SG PTB are -- as I've said many times -- sexist, racist, and homophobic.

But early SG1? Oh, it made so, so happy.
