Proper Stargate Rewatch -- season 10 of SG-1

I have watched the Stargate : Infinity series. It is not as bad as you believe it. There were 4-5 really good episodes out of the 26. What I really enjoyed that they introduced at least 15-20 new races and guess what they even named as well! So if those races could exist in a future SG spin-off, I would be satisfied."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."

I have to say I like the fact that Connor Trinneer is one of the actors in origins but then again it feels strange because, well he was Michael in SGA and now in a show of the same universe he plays someone else.
To me that is kind of like they had Amanda Tapping play Carson's role in SGA instead of Sam, it would be strange too because you'd always have her in mind as Sam Carter

From what I recall of an interview with Claire Rankin, she got the part of Kate cause they remembered she had come in (as support) when Rachel had been auditioning for Teyla. So...Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

So, I was casually reading the article here on GW about Origins premiere date, which is February 15. I scrolled a little and there's a bit to the end where our very own Darren speculates about the format in which it will be released. He writes that it might be one episode a week, in contrast with Netflix' all-in-one-go.
While almost all of us won't be in a position to watch it, or won't watch out of principle or not interested. What do you think will be the release-format? All 10 episodes in one go? One episode a week, or maybe 2 episodes a week?
Reminder: it's 10 episodes of 10 minutes.
Personally, I think it's ridiculous to treat this as a 42-minute episode run and wait 7 days to release the next installment. Then again, with the marketing done, I wouldn't be surprised if MGM/Command (United Artists) fraks this up as well. 10 minute episodes, once a week -- the only good thing would be that in order to remember what happened the week before, the episode would probably be streaming again. If the streaming counter counts unique IP's then it won't make a difference in viewing numbers but if it doesn't, then it will automatically get skewed (the latter could lead to more Stargate, even though it be cheating the numbers, and is also not likely to happen).Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

So yea, i really really hope they don't do this in a weekly format. Although i haven't really thought about it, since i'm not even sure if i'm going to watch it at all.

It's just long enough to set up and pay off an A and B plot. 10 minutes a piece is nothing. You're basically into the episode and it's over.
