Falcon Horus, read my post carefully, I was referring to Stargate Command, so you are false in saying that "That is not true" to what I stated. You yourself confirm my statement by saying that the Stargate material can be accessed on other commercial enterprises other than MGM's. So my comments stand.
Furthermore, there is no guarantee that HULU and iTunes will continue to provide the Stargate material. Especially that Hulu is being bought up by Disney. That means Stargate will no longer be offered by Hulu, because it will only have Disney content. That leaves Apples iTunes, and they are notoriously difficult to work with, relying on iTunes for content creators to make a profit, is like relying on Attila The Hun for mercy, I am told.
As for you saying that most people have the DVD sets or BluRays, well that's no comfort for people in the future who have never seen or heard of Stargate. After all, with the new streaming services coming from every which way, DVD and BluRay business is destined for extinction. Hollywood knows this, since they are the ones who've been hurt the most by the evaporation-no, more like sublimation- of the physical disc market. This all does not bode well, which ever way you cut it for Stargate, the demand and market is not there for a Stargate like franchise.
I fear come after May 15, there will be a deafening silence from MGM. As is it usually is the case with a company that is on the verge of bankruptcy, again! MGMs financial numbers are very poor, and so, like it or not, Stargate's destiny is also tied to MGM's. Furthermore, as I have stated in the last post, real science fiction is doing poorly in the market place, the craze is now science fantasy. Alas for Stargate and their fan base.
