GateWorld Podcast: What Do Fans Owe the Show?

• What Do Fans Owe the Show?
  Nothing at all, we paid to support it all these years, we owe it absolutely nothing, we can stop watching when we want.

  What does the show owe fans?
  Now that's a completely different question.

• Cannot download the mp3 file for this podcast. There is something wrong with the link - pls fix since I need my podcast fix! (Last week's podcast mp3 works just fine)

• All fans owe is the cost of the episodes rental fee, the seasons dvd cost and any other costs required to view the footage and thats it. When writers and cast start to get in their head that they are entitled or dont have to work as hard because the fans "owe them" the show starts to go down hill.

• I think fans should buy what they like and not feel obligated to buy something just because it has Stargate in the title. I own all of SG-1 and a few seasons of Atlantis because I liked those seasons. I didn't buy the last couple of seasons of Atlantis because I didn't like it. I don't own the cartoon series because it doesn't interest me. I don't feel obligated to watch Universe because it doesn't interest me.

  I didn't think it mattered if you watched the show live or not if you aren't selected as a ratings household. Right?

• For my favorite ep, id have to say its between 'The Pegasus Project' and 'Unending' its hard because the both have excellent storys as well as great cgi shots. The Series finale was by far one of the best in SG-1 history clear back so season 1. An idea for a discussion topic... the music of SG-1 and Atlantis? How are the two simular and how are they different? And what about the movies? Anyhow thanks and goodbye.

• I think the only thing fans owe the franchise is the benefit of the doubt. But that hardly counts, because until proven otherwise, we ALL deserve the benefit of the doubt.

  No one should feel obligated to support a franchise by purchasing material they do not like/enjoy.

• they owe the franchise a cup of 'shut up and just accept that filler episodes are a fact of life, and that they cannot cater to their every fanfiction fantasy.'

• I watch what I like and I don't feel that fans should have to watch or buy something they don't. I own season 1-5 & 10 of SG1 and all of SGA because they where my favorites but I won't be watching or buying SGU because it doesn't interest me at all.

• Hey David and Tame,
  It is so much fun and a little strange listening to your podcast. I feel like I'm spying on your conversation. Two things: I watch live and Tame. what do you have against Season 7?!

• Another comment. Friends and I promote "Stargate Universe" and "Defying Gravity" so much on Twitter that I wish I could track the effect.
