Casting announced for Stargate Origins
- Thread starter Romulan_spy
- Start date
Connor Trinneer had a tiny cameo in American Made. Really funny.
Cue the chorus of tedious aholes telling anyone who has a complaint about new shows being used to launch a bunch of redundant streaming services that it's "only the cost of couple of lattes" and they should stop whining. Meanwhile, the streaming services get more and more Balkanized and costs go up for less content and fewer benefits provided.
Ah, welcome the future -- no need for DVD's or TV's, LOL -- you just have to pay for one fucking streaming service after another until you've spent more on streaming services than you probably would have spent just renting the DVD or getting them at pawn shops.
Where did you see that? From what I saw on the website, it appears to be a one time fee, and they had all of the episodes of all 3 series and all 3 movies up to watch.
The website was down for me last night, it was from another page reporting on it.
A one off payment isn't so bad, but it's still only Stargate available? there doesn't seem much point to all this over just airing it on regular networks. Or releasing what's essentially a webisode mini-series for free like others of its kind.
The $20 fee gives you early access to the Origins series, but I think they plan to offer it free to non-paying-members shortly after the early release period. You still have to register as a free member at Stargate Command, though, and live in a country that isn't geo-blocked.
The paid membership also expires in May 2018. They haven't formally announced any pay plans (monthly, yearly, etc.) after May, so it's anyone's guess.
With just stargate content available on the streaming service it seems very limited.
Seems like a bad idea to just call it "Stargate Command"

Yeah, I was a bit surprised when I saw that the service was devoted entirely to Stargate. I can see with something like DC since that has stuff going back to the Batman serials in 1943, but with only 3 series and 3 movies Stargate has a very, very small library for the service to use.

I already have all of SG-1 and Atlantis on DVD. I have no need to sign up for a redundant streaming service for a prequel series that has no reason to exist. Had they offered something better it might be more tempting but nothing about this sounds like anything more than a blatant cash grab.
I guess I'll bump this thread and post the new behind the scenes video just released for Stargate Origins:
I think it looks really cool and fun. I just wish they'd release it all as one movie. Otherwise it'll take more than two months to watch the whole thing.
I've heard they might be changing it from a Stargate-specific All Access pass to a general MGM All Access pass, from summer 2018 onwards.
Production-design-wise, I'm glad they used the movie design for Catherine's Ra necklace. It was always weird and big when it showed up on SG-1. I'm a little more confused by why they're using the movie design for the 'gate itself. Well, mostly. It looks like the symbols on the inner ring are raised like they were in the series, and not recessed like the movie version.
It wouldn't surprise me if this web series explains why the stargate changed appearance between the movie and SG-1 pilot.
Their next project will explain the change in spelling between Kurt Russel and RDA's versions of O'Neil/O'Neill.
And their differing head shapes.
