Stargate Origins (Page 1 of 2)

I was REALLY waiting for these

If you read the comments in IMDB you'll get the responses (most of which are extremely bad)

It MAY get better

There are three out with two per week after this plush one final that hopefully wraps into SG

I suspect you're correct - binge it

Sad, really, as this was (hopefully) the resurrection of SG but the production qualities and acting appear to make this it's grave - unless they do something REALLY smart at the end...

Aaand there goes the entire previous SG series through the crapper, no more canon with SG-1 etc. Apart from the really bad acting and extremely fake looking decor, that's the thing I hate the most. Some shitty show that craps on everything that came before it.

twas awful

this shit is a disgrace to the stargate franchise, i dont know what they were thinking when they allowed this "acting" school project to use the name Stargate! this is so bad

only good thing in this show is the guy with the red hat lol

In the grand scheme of the Stargate franchise, Origins is but a blip on the radar. What will be disappointing is if it's success or failure weighs heavily on MGM's decision to move forward with another Stargate series. The current twitter campaign being led by "Stargate Now" seems to indicate that the importance is not whether it's good or bad, but rather in how much interest it sparks in the fandom.

Everyone here who's been through one or more, "Save____Show", or 'Bring Back____" knows that for every successful campaign, there's 10 or more which never got off the ground. This Stargate revival, tho, seems to be the real deal. MGM, now out of bankruptcy, appears to actually have some scifi and more importantly Stargate fans in positions of power.
They say, "MGM is open to more SG.  We want the Wright/Cooper canon/vision." in a recent tweet.

I'm sure that there are a lot of folks here who read Joe Mallozzi's blog. Long time readers have read through the demise of SGA,  SGU, and most recently Dark Matter with Joe. I've got to say that this Stargate revival seems to be about as serious as they come. He's not saying what his involvement would or could be with a new show, but I'm sure he's not spearheading this campaign for fun. For those who are SG fans, you should check out his blog. It's pretty entertaining regardless, but it was really interesting when he had a show in play and especially now with all this going on!

Anyway, saw this thread and thought it might be as good place as any for my first post!

I'm thoroughly enjoying Stargate Origins! The premise of how the Stargate was discovered then hijacked by the Nazis is interesting. These episodes are made on a shoestring and short which makes developing characters and scenes difficult. So I fully embrace the effort and will continue to watch all the remaining episodes (and no the acting is not bad....it's just time restricted).

It really isn't that bad. But i'd wait for someone to cut it all together, the 10min episodes are a bit annoying.

I'm sorry but you are an idiot to think that the "six dudes" on this site is 90% who has seen it...

The last 2 episodes (6 and 7) were a bit better again. As long as they don't have battle scenes or Cathrene with her gang in it too much- the show is alright. Is it bad that the nazis are the most believable characters?

Seriously the reaction to being on a whole new planet for the first time was seriously off putting + the bickering instead of the awe was just so... blargh.

My main problem isnt't the low budget crap it is the writing in the most part (and the entire "lets charge the stargate with a 40-s car battery").

Ok this is ridiculous, the first 3 episodes are available everywhere, after that you have to live in the right country to watch the other episodes. What a giant pile of BS.

"All-Access is not available in your area. We're working hard to find ways for fans in other countries to watch every Stargate movie and episode - including the new Stargate Origins - so stay tuned to the News section of Stargate Command for updates!"

Working hard my ass, it is their own series, they can show the first 3 episodes, so they can show the rest as well. This is what kills franchises.

Only if there were a way .to watch free ...
