    Hopefully they will keep the sound effects for dialing and kawoosh what they have established and used in SG-1.
    "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."

MGM will only be interested in the numbers for the 1st 20 minutes because so far those are the only ones free for all. Those will represent the "garnering interest"-part. The other 80 minutes will have a fixed audience, assuming every premium account will stream the episodes.
      It does not even matter if those people with the premium membership stream the ep, they have payed already so it is fixed income for MGM no matter what they deliver. So only the first free time would have to be great to make people consider watching the rest

      I however cross fingers for everyone who is deciding to pay those $20 that you won't be disappointed

        Is it a Commodore 64?

        Have you paid your 20 dollar yet?
        Are you able to pay the fee to watch Origins?

        Cause with all the excitement a lot of people seem to forget that half the fans who would probably be interested as well are excluded from the new show, and have to "suffer" the "excitement" anyway.

        But I swear, the first one to spoil the damn thing for me, will get every Avengers/Marvel/DC-film spoiled from now until eternity -- cause we get them before the US.

        Good point, hadn't thought about it that way.

        Considering plenty are already disappointed about the app and its many bugs, I'd say it'll be a miracle if they stick around long enough for their 20 dollar to be worth it.

          The “forum” on the app is indeed a joke. Full of pointless posts fishing for command points to level up for no reason...lol

            I agree with you on that, it would be just sad if people will pay and look forward to something great only to be disappointed

            I know forums of that kind, it is quantity instead of quality, no places where I like to be at

              And there's absolutely nothing past Ascension status, and the coins just sit there, doing absolutely nothing.

              Most were already disappointed when they signed up the moment that the website/app was going live, that Origins was in fact not even available. Hell, it hadn't even been filmed yet.

              I'm really curious about what will happen after May 15, 2018.
              If the streaming service really goes away in its entirety, I predict the website will dead and buried a month later.

              It's a messagefeed. Can't call that a forum.
              There's a character limit (I kid you not) of 100 characters when you start a new thread via the website, 200 if you use the app on Android, and 100 for iOS. There's no editbutton. You can upvote a comment or downvote one (and boy, some really like to downvote to their heart's content). Both votes show up as "likes" -- yes, even the downvotes.

              When writing a reply to a post, you can only see one line of your reply, not like here where you can see 16 or so lines. Which makes long posts really hard to do.

              And the website loads really, really, really, really slow on smartphone. I stopped using the app because it crashed every 5 minutes. The website and app are riddled with bugs.

                The whole thing, website, app and the show seems to me like a project without heart and care being an attempt to get some more coin from a franchise that is loved by many people
                It is easier to make people willing to pay for something new if it has an old name they love, just in hopes it will be good again
                That alone is enough to make people invest their money and once that is done, it does not matter what quality the fans will get, since they have already paid, that is unless you are a fan, then of course it does matter. But this project does not seem to be made for fans anyway

                  If it was, then all fans would have access to it.

                        I guess everyone here knows, sadly, but it is a nice fantasy FH

                        Though I miss the time without streaming when it just was enough to have normal TV program to watch such shows

                              Well good for them. Me, I'm looking forward to starting my dvd boxes of battlestar galactica and westworld that just arrived.

                              Now there at least is the result of some decent budget and commitment

                                STAR WARS!!!

                                All I can think of right now... and hopefully May 2018 or thereabouts the new Lego Star Wars game from The Last Jedi.

                                Stargate can die a quiet death in February.
