Darn it, meant to quote this is well in my previous post...
Critical and downright negative are still two different things.
Negative folks are hard to satisfy with anything really.
Actually, you probably have no idea how demeaning (general) you are when you tell a person with less than stellar expectations (negative or critical) to shut up, and just to wait and see. If that's what you want, you're going to be deeply disappointed being on a forum. Gateworld has seen some fascinating times in regards to --- mmm... how shall I put it... differences of opinion.
And a lot more is known:
* 10 episodes of approximately 10 minutes long (the usual length for webisodes)
* filming starts in August
* the director is female, and the writers have done little yet in the industry (familiarity with the franchise is up in the air)
* it will be a prequel, the origin story of Catherine Langford whose father led the dig which unearthed the stargate in Egypt and whose fiancé Ernest got stuck on another planet
* there will be a dark threat which Catherine will have to face (which could actually mess with the canon we know)
* MGM is using this webseries to launch their digital platform, which as you know is geo-locked to anyone outside of the US -- like any digital platform by any big broadcasting company is locked to people outside its viewing area -- broadcasting rights are not a walk in the park either, therefore the international fans are screwed and we all know how people are just not able to keep key elements to themselves in regards to spoiling it for the rest of the globe (yes, it's pet peeve).
* since it's a series to launch a digital platform, it will most likely be hidden behind a pay wall -- how much the subscription will be depends on the content and how they will be using this digital platform
By comparison, here's what a subscription costs at CBS All Access: The platform offers complete access to its complete database of shows, past and present, and access to shows exclusive to All Access, like the new Star Trek show. You pay a monthly fee of 6$ with ads, or 10$ ad-free. That's approximately the same amount as Netflix and Hulu (or so the article says).
HBO Now, which is also a digital platform, costs 15$ a month.
Since they have their own streaming service, it will pull their shows from Amazon Prime in 2018.
* the budget will most likely be crap -- but that's subjective anyway because budgets are always too tight for everything, no matter how large they are, there's never enough money -- for anything...
* and yeah... the likelihood of a gate spinning and gate travelling are rather slim considering it'll be about Catherine -- she didn't travel through the gate as far as canon history tells us
Usually a stargate means science fictional adventure -- travelling to other worlds so you could see why some folks are already disappointed. Even General Hammond was disappointed when the gate wasn't spinning (see episode "200").
If all you want is flowers and rainbows, then perhaps you should just ignore the critical views and best to put the negative ones on ignore altogether. GW gives you that feature so best to make use of it here. Do keep in mind that if someone quotes the post, you'll still be able to read it though so occasionally that's the only downside to the ignore-function.
