Yep, it was SyFy that canceled The Expanse; or rather, SyFy didn't want to purchase the rights to future seasons because of "distribution restrictions" or something. It simply got removed from Netflix, because competitor Amazon picked it up. And Amazon is really competitive (I can't even get Prime Video working with the Google Chromecast), so they didn't renew the license with Netflix.

Is there no live stream from WonderCon?!
They have made a stargate with 7 (!) chevrons. Meh."I was hoping for another day. Looks like we just got a whole lot more than that. Let's not waste it."

Granted, those also come with a NDA most of the times -- but only until the replica is revealed at the Celebrations they are build for, or in the case of the Falcon for the Solo promo tour.

They could have used the gate from Stargate : Origins... The French team called Children of McGyver makes a much better 1:1 gate what FH has also mentioned, not like this joke what they have provided at WonderCon. It says everything how seriously they think about the whole Stargate. You know even a printed cartboard, but at least accurate Stargate would have been a better solution instead of this horror. Even Stargate : Infinity had better gates. And you are right, the stargate is the essence, the centre of the Stargate shows. So why is it so hard to make a slughtly more accurate model with 9 chevrons?
No news, no response, nothing from WonderCon. I was a bit jealous still that me or NickEast should have sat there, but we were not good enough for them, so I don't know why do I still care about it as I should have let it go. Since nothing will be announced, FH is right that this whole con is meaningless. They have made a posh, good looking SG promo video about the whole year ( https://twitter.com/stargatecommand/...76443677716481 ), how much they care about new and old guests and fans, but this was just a marketing illusion. They have also posted a picture earlier how big is the SG:C team, but I have doubt they have got 50+ people, so I am guessing that photo was shot together with the audience.
Anyway... Maybe we should establish our own little creative studio or workshop, because we should invest energy individually or together into own scifi or fantasy projects. I should have continued and written my own book or to create more races, events, characters in my own scifi world instead of wasting my time on Stargate where they don't want to appreciate my talent. I don't want to sound big headed, but I really had some new and creative ideas to revive the Stargate, but it looks like they are living in the past and they are not capable of looking into the future.Last edited by Platschu; 31 March 2019, 12:06 AM."I was hoping for another day.

EDIT
Sorry, turns out the article on GW is the old one Darren posted 4 weeks ago when the winners were chosen, and there's no mention of it on the feed at Command (no surprise there).

That photo is from a convention -- I think gatecon last year. They posted an article on the feed, introducing (a year late, I might add) the stargate command team. There are 5 people manning the place, and I'm missing one. I don't think other Jenny still works with the team. There were two Jenny's since both sent me emails last year.Last edited by Falcon Horus; 31 March 2019, 08:49 AM.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

@Platschu: You are totally right. MGM is totally stuck in the past. A good example of this is the 'news' page at Stargate Command. There is no news there, just old and dusty articles about past episodes.
@FH: And you are totally right as well. MGM doesn't care about the fans. If they did, we would have had Season Three of SGU years ago. (Or season six of SGA.)
That was my two cents. But.... *cue shameless self-promotion*.....I've been working on continue the story of Stargate myself. I don't know if it's any good, but I enjoy writing it. And that's good enough to me. For the loooooooong version, click the link my signature. *End shameless self promotion*
And back to you, Bernard.
EDIT: Took several tries, but I think I actually got the signature right now.sigpic
