Stargate Command Shutdown reveals truth fans have always feared...

Is Stargate dead? MGM seems to think so, shutting down the already crappy Stargate streaming service and moving to KZbin is the final sign that there is NO immediate future for new Stargate.

My father is the same. We have every episode of last of the summer wine on DVD. But he prefers to watch them on sky because he does not like getting up to swap the DVDs. (Tho the cost is biting right now lol) When those of us with physical copies can no longer get the stuff streamed, THEN we will go to our DVD collection lol.

I’m ashamed to say that I remember and was excited when I heard about Joe Flanagan’s efforts, I just assumed they had screwed him over and that was it, game over. It really infuriated me when Atlantis was canceled... I even endured Universe, for as long as I could stand it, but I’m sorry, it just didn’t flow. It’s a shame they didn’t let Joe take it over, as he was one of the best actor/characters of the entire franchise, a series I watched from it’s beginning on Showtime! You guys keep going with this crusade, as I’m sure there are other fools out there, like me, who pays membership in all five of these streaming services, who would drop a couple in return for a chance to step through the Gate again...Good luck and may a curse continue to follow MGM for their lies and ignorance!

Sure, they can for themselves decide they dont want to interfere, but they cant keep all other races in an non-action-hell, right??? What happens to other Races that reach the higher planes of Existence?!? If you get what i mean! This is my greatest question about this Franchise!! No kidding!

Exactly, I always thought that quote from Oma was gibberish, until I realized it means dont judge a book by its cover. Meaning if you already have a preconception of something, you mind has already been made and there is no convincing you otherwise.

[@firelordkushroll]

@@xeeen0 ah very nice. For me that quote always made me think that the journey is more important in life, or anuthing for that matter. If you already know the outcome of something, that it is fire, then you would gave already have to have experienced and learned everything leading up to that point. So for her metaphor; you have to have experimemted with fore enough before you can fully and immediately know the element before you is fire, and that it can be used to create a meal. I always thought of this as a metaphor for ascension as well, and that the journey is more important. Especially when Daniel ascends and she tells him that there are no shortcuts; same with fire leading to the knowledge of its result. Not sure. But in my head this all clicks; im juat not the best at exressing in words what is in my head.

@@AdamJensenReal Yeah SG:Origins was a major facepalm. This may not be a popular opinion, but what I want to see is MGM selling it to Netflix or AmazonPrime and let them reboot the series from the begining. Ignore SG1 completely... Make Season1 be an extened retelling of the 1995 film. Season2 goes from there but stick with the Egyptian Gods theme. Maybe Osiris and Isis comes looking for Ra, Set/Seth leads a Tok'ra like rebel faction but with stealth tech, black version of the Horus/Anubis guard armour. Actual Horus is a Teal'c type character, arrives with Osiris and Isis thinking he's their son but finds out maybe Set is his real father... Shenanigans! And for heavens sake no Jaffa, Goa'ulds or Asgard... The guards in the original film were just indoctrinated humans, with alien tech helmets. The Gods were Grey Aliens possessing human bodies, not some stupid worm/snake parasite things...

@@TheWinterySummer It wouldn't destroy Stargate. It would destroy SG1 and SGA though. The original creators Devlin and Emmerich hated SG1 anyway. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed SG1 to a certain extent but I could never sake the feeling that it was a completely different tone to the original film, and the missed oppotunity of following Egyptian mythology more closely not to mention the fact that SG1 broken the film cannon with the Goa'uld... they weren't a thing in the film and Ra was clear shown as a Grey Alien. Atlantis was better simply because it had no Goa'uld and wasn't a constant reminded of the poor job SG1 did with adapting/portrayal of Egytian Gods into the story... I'm an Ancient Mythologies nut if you couldn't tell. And don't get me started on Apophis and his guards... what the hell were those helmets... A child could have done a better job. And Apophis himself could have been so much more instead of just a Goa'uld. He should have been the world eating serpent that destroyed Ra's race, maybe a gigantic cosmic space worm/serpent that ate worlds, not just another God because he wasn't in Egytian Mythology.

I’ve said it before elsewhere and I’ll say it here as well, the “streaming bubble”...maybe not soon...has to burst. All I have and will use is Netflix and HuluPlus. I am so not going to pay another streaming company just for one f****n’ show or franchise. It’s just ridiculous. We complained about cable giving us channels we didn’t want or need. Now that it’s sort of streaming specific in a way, you have to take out a damn loan...🙄🙄🙄 What these streaming services have failed to realize is that...not just that people can’t afford all or multiple streaming services...in deciding not to go with many or all of the services, people are finding that they have lives and don’t have to sit in front of a monitor all day. No, I’m not giving up on my entertainment entirely, but I have decided that I won’t buy Disney +, since they already said that I NEED to watch their TV shows in order to understand what’s going on in their MCU movies and such. It’s just f****n’ ridiculous. I don’t like to see people fail, but I do hope all the people behind the”streaming bubble” who are absolutely greedy absolutely fail miserably. I liked having most things I watched from one source. Their greed ruined it for me.

"I NEED to watch their TV shows in order to understand what’s going on in their MCU movies" This is so ironic considering how little they treated Agents of Shield, Agent Carter, the Defenders, et all.

Julia Nolen Hulu is only available in the US , you do realise there are fans all over the world , no?

I am heartbroken we are, and the series, is being treating like this.

Interesting video and extremely well done! I’m not a Stargate fan but after viewing this video I believe that there is something to say about community and the appeal of that which is sorely lacking in the way our current world is generally presented gives me hope that content THATS ALREADY PROVEN to create and maintain such a dedicated caring community has a value so beyond dollars and that with care and patience and dare I say perhaps a bit of risk, that by acknowledging this special community and giving it the proper attention and care, that eventually and probably sooner than later the almighty dollars will follow, but that will require respect and maintaining the relationship between MGM and the Stargate community now and in the future with a genuine effort because anything less and I’m sure this community can and will smell an effort that doesn’t match the loyalty these fans and participants of the Stargate people appear to have continually shown, established, and proudly proclaim would be a disaster for MGM! If MGM was brave enough to go down the road of altering the value they apply towards behavior as much as or even better than initial $ returns, I believe they would do so much better in their business cash wise because people will respect as well as reward MGM with their hard earned dollars once they show an honest long term effort to recognize just how special and unique their fans are and that in turn I believe operating like that could truly help answer their “new content” issues thanks to creators of desired content seeing that MGM is prepared to do right by a fans first policy that is at least as important to the bean counting! As always what seems simple doesn’t mean it’s easy but I hope they agree to alter their belief because that has the power to hot wire the company back to relevance. Sorry so long. Thx for you time..

My husband got me Stargate Command for my birthday 2 years ago, and I cried I was so happy!! I will love SG forever. I will always support SG... But MGM is making it super freaking hard

[@arghjayem]

Was disappointed when Universe was cancelled, although admittedly at times it did feel like a just like a “dark” mashup between SG1 and Atlantis. I would love a new Stargate series. Maybe a prequel about the gate builders, the ancients. About the very beginning of creating the gates and gate network? I wish Brad Wright and co. would get their act together and do a new stargate tv show. It’s bad enough that Travelers has now been cancelled, again, can we please get more Brad Wright content!!!!

Exactly what happens when art, science, music, etc all sold out by financial greedy hedge funds that really only cares about one number. $$$

[@InfernosReaper]

The problem isn't being greedy, but that they're short-sighted with that greed... or genuinely so broke that they can't actually afford to do *anything* but are struggling to put stuff out in the hopes that someone will buy them out.

MacGuyver wakes up.... "Man, I just had the WEIRDEST dream..."

[@mr.stormtrooper6110]

I grew up on Stargate and it makes me sad to see it be forgotten or have people say they never heard of it.

[@AlyssaMcNeil]

"We'll tell you where to watch just in just a moment" Me: "PirateBay"

[@jameswatsonatheistgamer]

Or an APK on the Nvidia shield/fire TV stick... etc.

[@AlyssaMcNeil]

@@jameswatsonatheistgamer Yeah but I still prefer to have my "personal library" in case - you known - some service decides to pull out a show. You can always stream it with a plex server anyway.

[@jameswatsonatheistgamer]

@@AlyssaMcNeil I have them all on my pc and I have a traxdata and smart TV. I use them both for streaming.

And it the end, it dies as they have no money, cheap bastards.

Some of the times in my early life was crowding around the tv with family watching stargate.

[@juliandc86]

MGM treats Stargate like Les Moonves treats Star Trek, if not worse. 😞

[@Sebastiaanmatla]
