In general, I find fan-sites to be better places than the official if only that I find them a little better moderated. Still capable of toxicity, unfortunately. And the official sites will always have access to new/more "official" content than fan-sites too. Not that fan-sites can't generate their own, obviously, but it's worth noting.
In regards to the format, I'm going to give it a go before I damn it. Do I think it's an odd choice? Sure, I do. Do I wish it was a fully fletched show or the return of Universe? Hell yeah! But I'm gonna give it a go, see what they do with it and hopefully it'll be good.sigpic

At least, you get the "legal" opportunity to give it a chance. A lot of us don't even have that.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

Generally there is always a lull between announcement and proper marketing kicking in. We'll get sporadic teases during production until they enter post and close in on actual release. It's during that time we'll see proper marketing take place and build the hype.sigpic

The human race is a remarkably impatient species, and if you do not keep their attention, they will not continue to give it. And most will also not return when you do give them something spectacular cause they will have remembered the previous lull.
In this instance, Stargate Command by MGM is there to keep the people engaged, talking until they can deliver on Origins. But the novelty has long since worn off, and for those who are not all-access the attention is slowly slipping away. Why do you think I started this "Proper Stargate Rewatch"? It's the only way for me, at least, to keep the momentum going, cause neither Command or MGM is currently doing that.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

I understand the concept of momentum. I run a none Stargate fan-site and I always see lulls between the announcement and actual marketing. They can't keep a continual momentum from the moment of announcement all the way through production and into release. Actual marketing doesn't happen until those final few months prior to release where they have enough material in the bag to actually use for marketing for trailers and promo pictures and etc. Of course, all things are slightly different but that's the general pattern.
I don't think they've even started filming Origins yet, have they? It's a TV show so they'll be able to throw more out there. Episode titles, more frequent set pictures, etc. But this is nothing to worry about. It's just more chicken-littling.sigpic

They want to release the damn thing at the end of December 2017 or the start of January 2018 -- they are cutting it really short.
And they need momentum, because the "fans" are not going to be enough to fund the revenue on this thing.
Pre-production has been happening since, I think, the end of August -- if Director Bryce's diaries are somewhat accurate towards timing.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum
