MGM bought some kind of streaming service right? Thought I saw that mentioned somewhere.

Maybe a silly point I'm making, but it is a positive to see the teaser trailer on YouTube with over 600k views. For a poor teaser and not much marketing outside the fb and twitter. That's not half bad!sigpic

The Gate was uncovered in the 1920's if i recall, and the movie took place somewhere in 1995 or so. So early 30's at the most.

I seem to miss a quote here: to whomever said Origins might not be behind the pay wall
That's exactly what's going to be behind the paywall. There would be no need for international distribution if that content was free to view. It can still be geo-locked (which is easily circumvented).
They want to use Origin to introduce their new digital platform so yes, you will have to pay to view it.

Well, i was happy because Stargate was coming and after reading this topic i lost my hope... First it would be a shame if they'll publish the series with a region block. I'm from Uruguay, and i'm tired of can't watch or listen things i like because of that reason.
I think it is logical if they want to have a feedback of a minor population first, and then decide what to do, but i don't understand why so much noise if they are going to do that. I mean, maybe they could made the podcast region blocked too, i don't know.
Also i don't understand why the teaser has no new promotional footage (apart from the illustration that i don't know if its new or not). In the podcast David Read said that they are things going on since some time ago and they can't talk about that till now, so, it is a bit odd i think, that there weren't no one doing some visual material to show us.
I read here comments that the ten episodes will be ten minutes and then not. But here and here says that it will be ten minutes each episode. I don't know, maybe i misread something here in this topic about that, but i'm not understanding then.

Keep in mind that some people are a bit negative on SGO and try to see what is not yet known in the most pessimistic light possible.

I wish i could give you better answers then maybe this or maybe that, but there is simply not allot of information yet, however i look forward to finding out more about the show as well as how it will be handled globally along with the rest of you in the coming months.

We can add another country to our virtual map.

I'm more intrigued actually at the part that it does not, in any way, contain footage from SG1. It just contains footage from Dean & Roland's Stargate.
Of course, it could be more or less, but it'll probably be around the 10-minute limit.
Originally posted by Arend(BE) View Postthe people on this forum do not know more then you do, could it be region blocked...yes, but it could also be open and free for everyone globally, maybe there will be an advance viewing/behind the scenes paid content, maybe only the old series wll be paid for. we simply do not know until they announce it them self.
Advance viewing like the TV-show will still mean a greater chance of the rest of the fanbase going in search of other means to view it at the same time as their American counterparts so that they don't get spoiled (which sadly happens a lot and really does ruin the fun most of the times).
Unless the behind the scenes footage is new, there's plenty of the other shows already freely available on the DVD's/Blu-Ray's. So it would have to be new to be interesting -- though I'm sure they'll have plenty of footage which never saw the light of day. If I'm not mistaken, the episode Urgo alone had miles, and miles of bloopers which never saw the light of day.

I don't know if you were here around the time of Atlantis' airing and all its shenanigans. A lesson was learned then, and it stuck. So, the less expected, the better it can be when the opposite is true.
If you want to label that as negative, then so be it. But I'd rather be pleasantly surprised, then get utterly disappointed.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

I understand keeping expectations low, however many times that is not what is happening thus the negative comments. Here, and on many Facebook pages, I have seen negative feeling put out as FACT. When something is brought up about "Hey maybe this will do something cool..." There is a small percentage of downright negative people throwing out comments about what WILL happen and it's TERRIBLE. Refusing to allow any positive thoughts to go by them without raining on someone else's parade. The show might suck, but at least let's maybe watch it and see how the website and pay system are set up before we all assume it's all going to cost money for the show, and geo-locked, and only 10 mins, and have crap budget, and no gate at all etc etc etc...most of these things haven't been announced. While they are a concern and should be discussed, I get tired of seeing other's negative opinion put out as FACT when we honestly don't yet know.

I agree with you, but you have to understand where they are coming from. There are three Stargate series, only SG-1 has gone on for a while and there's still a lot to explore. And all of a sudden they are making the fourth without finishing neither of the three(we can argue the possibilities are endless so it can never be finished, but still). Not only that, but this time it has nothing to do with the big three, and despite that fact it still has a potential to ruin the entire Stargate.

Well, thanks for the welcome and the answers!
About the footage, maybe was not the correct word to use (i have a hard time with english vocabulary), i was refering to the fact that there is no new visual content, not necesarily filmed footage. In projects like this i think it is normal to start advertising or promotion by creating new content as new logos or that sort of thing, because that is part of the pre-production phase when they are now if they are going to start filming the episodes in August.
I don't know, i have worked in similar areas (i'm an animator, and i also worked in advertising), and it seems a bit odd to me that fact. But, also, they're MGM so i think when you are a big name you know what you do. haha
Anyways i'm enjoying all the things that are happening about Stargate these days.

My native language is Dutch, for the record.

But I do see what you mean with the promotion and advertising, and the likes. And of course, when you have worked or work in similar business you kind of know how things are working, or might work or should work.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum
