The Congress

I have been rather quiet on the SaveSGU.tv front and with good reason. An idea  which sought to unite the Sci-fi community has taken flight with a group of comrades who have the same feelings for the cause.

The Sci-Fi Congress was born out of an idea that the community as a whole was starting to get about the movement. There was a general feeling by the passionate among us that the movement was losing direction, that we we're being fractured as a community and that different campaigns for different shows we're in competition rather than working together.

The Sci-Fi congress is something which was born out of discussions but the idea is simple.

1. Unite and give a forum to vocalise the millions of voices across hundreds of shows all struggling to save the genre they love.

2. Coordinate campaigns and support campaigns from other communities by raising awareness and cross-promoting them.

3. Bring the Sci-Fi community together in a place of mutual discussion to better develop and strengthen our community.

4. Assist all communities within the congress when help is needed, equally and fairly but without interfering with their individuality.

5. Show mutual respect to all members and defend the right of our members to save their beloved genre.

6. Build relationships between all of the members of the Congress to harness the mutual benefits of co-operation and strength in numbers.

  The Congress has taken flight recruiting 30 sites/pages and over 450 members in less than 7 Days. This is a phenomenal achievement. There is a long road to travel but I travel it willingly.

You can find out more about the congress on Facebook or at www.scificongress.com

Barack Obama vs Alien Invaders!

[caption id="attachment_659" align="aligncenter" width="360" caption="The President introduces mankind's new "allies"."][/caption]

“Barack Obama vs Alien Invaders!” is now on YouTube! This is, of course, episode 7 of The Cancellation Effect, my web series devoted to saving Stargate Universe, but I’ve again disguised this fact in hopes of bringing SGU’s plight to the attention of the widest possible audience. Thus, as with “Robots, Time Travel, and the Menace from Space,” it takes a while before the disastrous effects of SGU’s cancellation come to dominate the story.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFf1qOFnjHQ

This is my first episode to abandon computer-synthesized character voices in favor of actual voice recordings. I performed the parts of the announcer, alien captain, and President’s aide myself, and used public-domain clips from a speech by President Obama for his voice. This presented new challenges for me: cutting and splicing audio clips, removing noise, avoiding clipping, modifying voices for the resonant announcer and shrill alien, and adjusting sound levels for consistency. All this makes me appreciate more deeply Stargate Universe’s fabulous sound editing, with its clarity and evocative sound effects. Sometimes I listen to SGU episodes in the background when I’m working on visual effects editing, and they make splendid audio drama.

Enjoy, and please help spread the word by "liking" the video, posting positive comments, and sharing the link with others.  Thanks!

Sci-Fi Congress Goes LIVE!

SCIFI CONGRESS GOES LIVE!!!

 Sci-Fi Congress Facebook Page

“Joined together in the promotion and protection of the Science Fiction genre, as a progressive element in society.”

Suzy Phillips from Save Stargate Universe, Martin Cook fromSave Stargate Universe UK , Kevin McColl from Save SciFi Channel, Joseph Sardone from Save Future Stargate Travel , Rodger Phillips from Save Stargate Universe AU, and Jake Ronen from Occupy SyFy have worked together to bring to life the Science Fiction Congress, a place where the impossible becomes reality and unity is paramount.

As you know, the last year has been hard on Science Fiction fans. Many of our favorite programs have been cancelled. The one station dedicated to this genre has rebranded yet again, moving away from its original content to alienate us all. There have been multiple campaigns , movements, and protests by science fiction fans to reinstate these television programs and prevent the loss of any other footholds science fiction holds in today’s media. There have been many clashes of said groups in their fight to reclaim what we all hold dear. We are moving forward, joining all pages and groups willing, to protect and promote true Science Fiction.

The issue was that there was no unified front from which all of these groups could work together. There was no greater platform to speak our desires and be heard by those who we were trying to reach. And over the last few months, several of the leaders of these groups came together with the realization that we have moved beyond one certain television program or agenda. That we needed one place where all ideas were welcome, a home base where multiple campaigns and protests could be launched from. One place where news was shared with everyone and all could participate. It now exists.

We declare that we are a united front to promote Science Fiction as a revered and respected genre in today's society, reflected in both film and literary content; to take appropriate action towards ensuring that the genre prospers; and to disseminate and spread these ideals through means including but not limited to campaigns, protest movements, and promotion of the above stated.

We are the Science Fiction Congress. The past is behind us and we are moving forward. We welcome you.

Open Email to SGU Fans from SaveSGU.tv Admin

Dear SGU Fans,

As you are aware SaveSGU has collapsed or has been shut down by the administrator.

This is obviously a setback but it also shows a great opportunity for a new unity that has never been seen in the movement.

I have spoken with Suzy at great length recently and we have worked on a number of projects. Suzy represents the best side of the Save SGU page before she was removed as an admin. Her disappearance was noticed by numerous members.

While this is a troubling time, it has also opened up a great opportunity. The recent split between SaveSGU and SaveSGU UK is now a distant memory.

Suzy & I have now teamed up and are working as a stronger more cohesive team than has been seen before. Subsequently, the new SaveSGU page (www.facebook.com/savesg) is fast becoming the new home for the movement with member likes shooting up in the last hour alone.

We will be taking a more direct approach to the campaign with every member having the opportunity to make suggestions and being able to participate.

I have not only began working with Suzy on this project, I have made her Chief Editor at SaveSGU.tv (which has been the case for a while) and she has been given administration privileges at SaveSGU UK.

Today is the start of a new campaign. Let’s all work together and get the job done!

Sincerely,

  Martin Cook

Administrator – SaveSGU.tv & SaveSGU UK

How SyFy killed SGU

Know I been around and seeing people ask how did SyFy set SGU up to fail so let me tell you how they did that.

When season 1 rolled out they did advertise it, but not too much.  They had a promo Ad here and there, but not too many.  Season 1 started playing on Friday night at 9:00pm (Eastern Time) on October 2, 2009 and went in to its season break on December 9, 2009 with an average of 2 million viewers.  The show came back on April 22, 2010 and finished up season 1 with an average of 1.8 million viewers.

The first half of season 1 had set the story up; the search for food, water, power and supplies.  It also set the crews’ back-stories.  This is the same for any starting out TV show.  It would have been to the 2nd half of season 1 when the action starts.

When season 2 came back it was moved to Tuesday night at 9:00pm (Eastern Time) with little warning to it viewers.  This move was done to make room on Friday night for WWE.  SyFy is saying they did the move to help SGU because its ratings were dipping.  This chart shows that season 1 was doing will and was stable.  Yes it did dip from the start but that is normal in any new show.

The first half of season 2 ended on November 30, 2010 with an average of 1.078 million viewers, almost half of the viewers it had in season 1 before the move that was to help save SGU.

During the season break SyFy announced on December 16, 2010 that it would not be picking up Stargate Universe for a 3rd season.  This was only two weeks after SGU finished up its first half of season 2 with 10 episodes and still had 10 more to go.  Also it is likely they made the decision much earlier before the 2nd half of season 2 finishes due to the fact how SGU ended.  The last episode of SGU ended in a way that it would not really be a clip hanger but was.  The crew may be safe in space, will fly in FTL out and around the drones and we all know Eli will find a way to save himself.

The 2nd half of season 2 airs on March 7, 2011 with no warning to its time change (again) till a week before the first episode aired and during that week they had little promo spots for it.  The show was moved to Monday night at 10:00pm (Eastern Time) (this is the time slot they put shows to die and be forgotten).  SGU finished up its 2nd half of season 2 with an average of 0.958 half of its season 1.

MGM asked SyFy for permission to make a movie and on April 17, 2011 it was said that the SGU movie was not going to happen.

For the repeated time change and lack of advertisement SyFy failed SGU.  It is good to note that MGM has no part in the cancelation of SGU, that is all SyFy or NBC Universal.  I hope this clears things up for anyone.

Stargate Universe онлайн идея

Вот идея. Если мы не можем иметь Stargate Universe в эфире затем поместить его в Интернете. MGM и или Syfy должны фильме и поток его в Интернете за небольшую плату.

Вот как это будет работать.

В пятницу вечером в 9:00 вечера они начинают течь это.

Мы настроиться и платить от 2 до 3 долларов (США), для его просмотра.

Добавление 3, 30 сек рекламы коммерческой.

У вас есть 27 дней для его просмотра Примечание: я думаю, в течение 46 дней, но это может быть долго.

Когда это будет сделано потокового они отправляют его в Интернете для всех, чтобы посмотреть в любое время.

Я нашел в своем исследовании, это стоит от 2 до 3 млн. воздуха ТВ-шоу в среднем. Если вы платите от 2 до 3 долларов, чтобы его увидеть. Было бы хорошо, в течение 27 дней. Вы рисунке 2 миллионов зрителей от 2 до 3 долларов, и это может быть от 4 до 6 миллионов шоу. Это могло бы платить за каждую вещь и открытым целый новый мир.

Присоединяйтесь к нам, мы нуждаемся в вашей помощи!
