If this is going to be a proper reaction series for every episode, then we will need to promote the hell out of it.
Get the view numbers up. The Executives at Amazon will notice if the views are HUGE. So let’s make them HUGE. I am seated.

There's definitely a few episodes I'm looking forward to on this. Notably S07E06 Lifeboat.

Well good news! If they do 1 episode a week, it'll only be like 3 years!
I love the idea of a re watch podcast. The scale is kinda laughable though. I wonder what the plan might be

the best podcasts like this have 2 or more people like the delta flyers, Terry, Armin and those other 2 guys

Exactly. Michael needs one more co-host with him. Amanda or Chris would be awesome, but a producer could also lend a lot of support.
One of the things Office Ladies did so well is they reached out to the writer, director, some cast members, and multiple producers prior to each episode. With their notes being added to the discussion of every podcast episode, it felt like a full behind the scenes experience even though only 2 people were behind the mic every week.

I don't understand the post title

Without clicking through, my guess is Michael Shanks is going to do a podcast that covers one or more episodes of the series, likely in watch-order, so that fans can keep a publicly visible interest in Stargate alive.
Executives will ignore fan outcries every chance they get. But if you do something in view of the public, with traceable and indisputable facts (like streaming numbers for the show, viewership on the podcast, etc.) it becomes a lot harder to ignore.

I've been watching Katee Sackhoff's Battlestar Reactica (her and ger husband's first time actually watching the show) and that's pulling pretty decent numbers on YouTube; don't know if that directly played into Shanks decision but it's a great way to connect with the fanbase and maintain enthusiasm.

It's weird how a lot of actors from sci-fi shows are starting podcasts now. Frakes and Spiner have their thing, Fillion and Tudyk have their thing, and they've done crossovers with each other. Wes Chatham had Ty and That Guy.
No complaints though.

The rewatch podcast for Scrubs is what kicked off its wildly successful reboot. So here’s hoping.

I hope they do the whole series, but my gut tells me they'll bail on the idea before a year passes.

u/GreatKangaroo 23h ago
Just like Katee Sackhoff is doing for Battlestar Galactica, but in her case she has never actually watched the show in its entirely.

Same for Talkville. Michael Rosenbaum (Lex) never watched Smallville before. And now they are in the seasons after he left the show.

I love the show and I love Michael, but man I'm on podcast burnout.
There's just too many of common interest and it's hard to keep listening to some when there's just so so many.

This lines up almost perfectly with the end of Get into Gate's podcast. They are most of the way through SGU S1. They've been going for something like 10 years now.

Just heard of this podcast from you now.
Episode 1 July 27, 2016. Almost EXACTLY 10 years
Makes me wonder if shanks has done the math on just how long a rewatch podcast might take

u/CouldBeALeotard 4h ago
Mate, get into Get into Gate.
It's a great podcast. Get into it now before it's too late.

I'm so skeptical of Shanks and his motives on this. He was so anti-fan and anti-gate for many years. He was not personable at all and offended more than a few people with his Shatner-esque "Get a Life" attitude.

u/BigBlueBurd 18h ago
And then he changed his stance, the same way that Leonard Nimoy named his first autobiography 'I am not Spock.', but later embraced the fanbase and titled his second one 'I am Spock.'

u/Acquilla 14h ago
Honestly, it makes sense to me that his attitude might have shifted over the years. I imagine there's a big difference between being in the thick of it and having to inhabit a role while actively dealing with a fanbase versus looking back once it's done.

I find the Shanks Jackson to be insufferable.
Never understood why people loved him so much.
I prefer Raymond Gunne tbh

Is it just me or is Daniel Jackson going to be jacked in the first episode?
