They would have be to redone entirely -- digitally speaking.

Reminder to those who have the option to buy all-access (not me), all-access ends May, 15, 2018, which is....
...from now.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

Cue sarcasm: Well, SGO should be "finished" by then, so plenty of time to watch the episodes. Oh wait, All Access is only available in a small region of planet Earth. Bummer.
SGC: "Yeah, we're working on it".
Us: "But it's only three months".
SGC: "We're still working on it".
Three months later:
Us: "Well, how 'bout now?"
SGC: "Yeah, uhm... the good news is we've manage to get things sorted, so All-Access is now available world-wide. But... uhm... We no longer have All-Access."
Us: "Oh, for cryin' out loud!"

Well, perhaps that's the problem... when it ends May 15, it's open to all. By which I mean, streaming goes away -- all series, and movies -- so perhaps then access is granted to Stargate Origins (far too late but ah well..).Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

Originally posted by Az'ryel View PostI just wonder how they want to measure success in any other case, Falcon, because if they will not release it for all to watch at some point, they have no real impression of how successful it really would be
I mean, the viewing numbers for the last 80 minutes are set. They have the data on everyone who bought all-access. That data has been collected and hand-delivered to the digital department team (or marketing team or business unit) of MGM. It's what TopFan does -- collect data and help companies monetize their products to the people who are most likely to buy it.
Knowing (and you can quote me on that) that the site registers your IP-address, it would register IP's of those watching those first 20 minutes and those numbers will most likely be much higher than the set-in-stone numbers of the number of all-access acounts.
They literally are using the no-access crowd to get more stargate for the elite.
* Addendum:
By making those first 20 minutes free for all, they have forfeited the excuse that licenses prevent them from granting access to more people than just those six countries. The horse manure is strong on that one. Unless, they will geoblock -- in which case I'm gonna laugh so hard, like you can't believe).Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

The free 20 minutes are more likely an invitation for those on the fence (and able to) about purchasing access to All Access. They'll definitely look at any increase in subscription following the debut too. CBS did something similar with Star Trek Discovery, Part 1 of the Pilot was televized.sigpic

There will be a decrease, rather than an increase, I predict.
CBS did air the pilot and there was a free trial time for all-access. However, Star Trek Discovery is available worldwide on Netflix, literally a day after it aired on All-Access. Origins is only available on Stargate Command and nowhere else. I can do the math, can you.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

I haven't seen the Stagate : Origins yet, but I have checked some FB groups and forums, because I was interested the overall rections. What I have noticed that people still love the Stargate franchise. MGM should definately realize that this franchise still has got a fan base all over the world who can't wait for new SG shows. So I do hope they will invest into SG again.Last edited by Platschu; 18 February 2018, 05:51 AM."I was hoping for another day. Looks like we just got a whole lot more than that. Let's not waste it."

MGM is taking a business approach to this, and this is one area where the business approach will probably blow up in their faces.sigpicALL THANKS TO THE WONDERFUL CREATOR OF THIS SIG GO TO R.I.G.A lie is just a truth that hasn't gone through conversion therapy yetThe truth isn't the truth
