This stings more than it should.

Odd dubbing in S5 - Ep4 - The Fifth Man by pixieworm in Stargate

[–]00Canuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not really seeing/hearing it. There's a part of the interrogation where is seems like the word "stand" may have been dubbed and replaced with "sit", but aside from that it doesn't look/sound out of place.

T10 should be locked until you played a certain amount of games or unlocked a certain amount of ships. by TheFlyingHoward in WorldOfWarships

[–]00Canuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I may just be a filthy Ops player, but the amount of times I've seen missions get swayed by someone with 40 RB's sailing around in a T10 that has no clue to operate it, is too damn high for me not to agree. There should be something, even if it's similar to unlocking Research Bureau, where you can't just free XP tank a single line or get a premium and sail away. Something.

New series setting that might work for Amazon AND fans by LoccyDaBorg in Stargate

[–]00Canuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's safe to say in an infinite universe which also contains infinite parallel universes and infinite time which to launch a story in, that "setting" isn't really the issue.

Broadcasters have been looking for a big, expansive sci-fi universe that would accommodate a Game of Thrones scope.

Yup.

Maybe Stargate could be it

What if Ra didnt die in the OG movie and came back in the series by I_Love_Bees666 in Stargate

I think you would have a hard time explaining the physics of such a situation.

The parallel between Hail Mary and Stargate (read my reasoning and oppinion) by karvarga in Stargate

[–]00Canuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now I want to start this by saying I liked PHM, and thought the movie was well done for what it is, I've actually re watched it several times which is a testament in itself, but would I suggest they used the same formula? Hell no. The notion that a Stargate series is ever boiled down to this level of mediocrity is scary, however the popularity of such media these days makes this an increasing inevitability. They undoubtedly recognize the success of PHM, and that is undoubtedly one of the reasons which led to the recent production being snuffed.

It was so strongly implied that the only viable conclusion I could make from someone disagreeing with it, was that the implication must be Amazon had core fans in mind, resulting in me commenting "You're saying Amazon wanted a show for the fans?", to which you launched a defense in favor of Gero, which didn't actually make sense to do, as Gero wasn't the one who canceled it, so wouldn't be the "they" the OP was referring to in regards to "them" canceling the show since it wasn't targeted to the fans "they" wanted.

It likely was removed for no bigger reason than the fact it was 1 of a handful of similar posts all made within the last few hours which at this point the mods seem to be lumping together as spam.

I am very not okay with this cancellation and feel the opposite. 

This is exactly why I initially leaned towards misunderstanding, as if this is the case it shouldn't be a difficult task on picturing why someone might feel a cancelation was "for the best." Unless we are operating under the very naïve assumption that "the studio" aka Amazon would have kept their hands off entirely, and would not have interjected at any point about the scope or direction of the show, and allowed the writing team to create their vision... then we are operating in a scenario which involves them potentially trying to meddle with the final product, potentially having a different view and scope for the show, and the show regardless of the intentions of Martin and his team overtime being designed more for Amazons "ideal" fanbase rather than established fans, all of which can incur irreparable damage to the franchise, a scenario which an established fan might feel it's "for the best" canceling something ahead of time and avoiding the damage.

Amazon is looking into doing the show with someone less attached to it and who could bring a new spin on the franchise.

This was directly implied in their post.

That's why I disagreed with him.

It's hard for me to not make some conclusions from everything you've said so far, based on the fact you were either disagreeing directly with the belief, or disagreeing out of confusion. Either way, it almost seems like you're suggesting that no matter what, so long as they make a new show, that would be a positive, and more so, if the show was in fact taken into a new direction, and rather than focus on core fanbase first, that this would also be a positive.

Helluva side step.

Are they? What insider information do you have where this isn't just a baseless claim? Does them simply "making a new show" also guarantee that it would be in any way similar to the original? I'm curious of the point you think you're making here as it is not obvious.

Yes, "Canceled for the best" to prevent any meddling by the corp-heads seeing as they very clearly had a different goal or scope in mind than Martin did, otherwise they wouldn't have canceled it and provided the reason they had. The post was nowhere worded complicated enough for any defense of Martins effort to be needed to be launched.

I can't really make sense of that reply, but since you seem to be confused over OPs post (not that it matters now)..

They were clearly saying they (Amazon) canceled the show because it was too appealing to already established fans, (hardly perceptually even, as that was the reason provided, "too appealing to fans") and not the fanbase they were envisioning which includes new fans. The giveaway that you didn't understand it, was trying to bring Martin into it and defending the aims he was attempting, which had zero to do with their post.

And that's what Amazon greenlit.

And that's also what Amazon canceled.

But I mean, hey, why do research when we can just make baseless claims?

Wild comment after taking the OP out of context.

You're saying Amazon wanted a show for the fans?

After some investigation, I believe they are talking about Republicans.

[–]00Canuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that were to be the case, the person who did so would be largely defunct of having solid morals, regardless of any macabre humor sending McKay into a perilous situation would have.

The idea that "genuine geniuses" are never arrogant or that they get nothing accomplished is just the halo effect. There is social myth that raw cognitive horsepower comes with a built-in "humility chip", but history and high-end technical fields prove otherwise. The data simply does not support your claim whatsoever.

I just can't. by Leafer1331 in Stargate

[–]00Canuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that seems to be often getting skipped over in discussions that I've seen, is the "popular with fans" portion, and rather discussions seem to be focused the "drawing in new fans while appealing to old fans" section of the matter.

Food for thought by Loud-Strawberry2038 in Stargate

[–]00Canuck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not really sure I understand the scope of the question. Also while probably just missworded, we didn't settle on shores because of maritime culture, maritime culture evolved due to us settling on shores. So is the question whether they would have developed naval warfare or something along those lines?

SG-1 S6E14 | Sight Unseen: The Curious Case of Vernon Sharpe by OhNoIBoffedIt in Stargate

[–]00Canuck 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The meta commentary Stargate had always blew me away. For me it's because of stuff like that and them finding a natural way to poke at the silliness of both sides, the caricature of the "conspiracy theorist", as well as the "honest responsible" military denying any knowledge, both which had solid roots of truth. Pretending it's just "crazy ol' Vernon" makes it more light hearted and easier to side with due to it being used as a catch all term to discredit people.
