Oh, I think Shanks is aging quite nummily. I'd mark them even on that score.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You think Michael looks worse than he did in S1? I think they both look just as good as they did when I first saw them, just older.

I do. He's gained weight around the face, looks rather more flabby. Aging is fine, and maybe if he'd kept his weight down it wouldn't show as badly.
Season 1: [link] Pretty.
Season 7: [link] Less pretty. IMO.
Argh, I can't find the image I want. He's still an attractive man, but I think he looked best around seasons 3 and 4, before the Unfortunate Sideburns, and before weight gain blurred his jawline. I don't miss the babyfat, I just wish he'd gone leaner, that's all.
BB got more character in his face as he aged without losing any definition; I don't think MS has done the same.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Far be it for me, but that pic on the bottom? Not really indicative of Daniel in the 8th season. I mean, showing him under stress and in bad lighting, almost every SG-1 member would look kind of...well...stressed.

I think he was prettier in S1, but very few men get prettier with age. I think he's still very handsome, but mileage was made to vary.

I think MS needs some hair growth, a good cut, and, well, the eyebrows are just weird. But? Still a handsome man.
Now, Ben Browder has the hot and leather and clever and funny stuff going for him in addition to the just plain old handsome. Also? If I had to pick one to just, you know, be buds with (I should have such dilemmas), it'd be BB, hands down. He just seems to effin' likable for a host of reasons. MS may be all of those things, too, for all I know, but he doesn't exude it the way BB seems to.
RDA, of course...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That's the most hysterically wrong thing ever.
Wronger than the LFN talent show with the woman who took the stage with her guitar and wouldn't give it back?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I remember Ben Browder from his Memphis Belle days. Freakily, he's gotten better looking over the ensuing 14 years.
Of course, the actually BEING a fangeek who happens to star in one of the series he's geeky about doesn't hurt either.

I don't know. What constitutes pretty? Although he is not on any SF TV shows right now, I do believe Dennis Quaid can thrash the standard set of pretty young things and make them cry. He is old enough to be my father, and still quite pretty.
I mean, you could hide quarters in his smile lines, but that is part of the appeal.
