This is the Tweetstorm. There can be another one a little later, using a different hashtag, for Europe and/or other regions in the world. But that won't happen if people don't show an interest. It's useless if only a handful of people are prepared to do it.

They have yet to distance themselves -- an apology simply won't cut it -- from that dude who went off his rockers and literally insulted everyone to high hell who pointed out the issue with that unfortunate Europe timing. He could have taken the high road but instead yanked everyone's mother into the conversation (in a manner of speaking).
I have no desire to "support" the Americans in getting a stargate show that we might enjoy as well. They can fight for it themselves. There's no quid-pro-quo here.
Where were they when we tried to get them to speak on our behalf with all-access anyway?
Oh yeah, this runs very deep with me.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

You have to realise that the primary audience here is not globally, it is North-America. They are the viewers which can make or break a show. If they're not watching it, we're not gonna get to watch it.
That's a fact I'm not refuting.
It's the way they are handling the issue, on the other hand, that's what's bothering me a lot right about now.
Unlike CBS (I think they own Elementary) which continued to renew Elementary because it was a huge success on the international market, while it kept losing viewers in the home market, the USA, MGM only aims its arrows on the home market. The rest is extra, and keeping Stargate Command, they don't think very highly of other markets other than those that did have access to their payed content.
I mean, CBS literally continued Elementary with 2 season (1,5 perhaps) for the international broadcasting license market.

According to Joe Mallozzi, there will be actors involved. Peter (Apophis) has already tweeted about it.
There will also be give-aways among the tweeters from Mallozzi, and at least one fan offering replica crystals. They look neat.
(Bribery at its finest -- )
Yes, it does feel like we're being punished for being on the "wrong" continent.
It's Stargate Command all over. We're quite literally the afterthought, the footnote not worth mentioning.Last edited by Falcon Horus; 05 December 2019, 05:58 AM.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

I know the scepticism runs deep with you, and I understand and feel similar. But I'm asking myself, do I still love Stargate? Hell, yes. So I'm trying every attempt I see. Right now the only reason I don't care to participate is because I want some answers. I love being idealistic and optimistic, and love everyone else for being that, but I need some reassurances, some true reassurances, to convince me to join in again. But I still don't want to just sit back and give up.

I'll send you the name of the account which screencapped the posts.
Originally posted by NickEast View PostWell, if that's how you think then yes it's never going to happen. If everyone thinks that, nothing will ever happen. If the rest of the world shuts up, then that skews the results. All-Access, and SGC as whole, was a trainwreck of epic proportions. But if we all just shut up about it, give up, then nothing will ever change, as it is with everything.
But Stargate Command has taught me a valuable lesson, that I don't want to be used anymore as a convenient extra. They didn't want to stand up for the rest of us, than I have nothing to give in return.
They are the ones who have to keep it alive. We count towards nothing, except when they need us they want us. No thanks...Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

So what is the outcome? Has Stargate become No1 on Twitter?"I was hoping for another day. Looks like we just got a whole lot more than that. Let's not waste it."
"Never underestimate your audience. They're generally sensitive, intelligent people who respond positively to quality entertainment."
"Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, its essence, has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all."

It is nice to see the posts of so many Stargate actors and staff."I was hoping for another day. Looks like we just got a whole lot more than that. Let's not waste it."
