It seems very small scale...They are probably testing the waters and see what happens. Hopefully something bigger comes out of this.

That's what worries me. It's Star Trek Discovery but even more iffy.
another issue is expanding the "fanbase". I wonder what they'll do to get "fresh blood"
into it on the audience side of things...maybe release the entire thing as a movie? Piggyback if off other media or shows? It looks like they are really going for a new approach and knowingly taking a risk and hoping it'll pay off...which isn't a bad thing. Netflix also took a risk and it paid off big time.

If it's region-free it might harness an audience, and if it's free to view.
If it's blocked for international viewers, I don't see it succeeding.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

Narrowing viewership is a dangerous play if you're trying to revive a franchise."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in. Good people do things for other people. That's it, the end." -- Penelope Wilton in Ricky Gervais's After Life

Don't forget, region-free vs region-blocked (which can be circumvented, but if it's behind a pay-wall, that would become harder).Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

Stargate has always had a very dedicated core audience, but us being vocal doesn't mean we're numerous. A webseries automatically limits your audience to us niche folks, and it limits it further still if the paywall becomes a factor.

They then came up with a concept in which they don't have to deal with any of the TV series plots or feature any of the actors from the franchise. As well as a concept that won't involve gate travel, other planets, alien races, spaceships or anything else expensive or what the franchise is known for.
