Well as others have pointed out at least it's possible another company could fund future seasons. If Syfy was directly producing/owning this show then the news would pretty much ended the series. etalian fucked around with this message at 16:50 on May 11, 2018 |

Maximum Irony: SyFy Wire, the channel's ad-time news blip (think MTV News), made a point of identifying a bunch of new Marvel properties on a bunch of new streaming services during the episode of the Hugo-award-winning show they were about to cancel because not enough people watched it live... drunkill posted:womp womp

It's about Superman though, and maybe if people watch it hard enough Snyder Senpai will come and guest direct an episode

Hi, how can I give money to this show in Canada if I don't have a TV? Can I buy the episodes somewhere reasonable that isn't part of some bullshit subscription package?

Don't want to install anything bloaty that tries to take over your computer's media like itunes. When ever I buy digital media I'm used to just paying some money then getting a download link. Has that model been totally run out of town for TV because everyone wants you to download some media management program that syncs your clouds to your streaming library or some bloated confusing bullshit that won't even let you watch your files if you're not signed in and online?

You are poo poo out of luck.  I looked everywhere, but It's basically bellmedia or nothing. Either CraveTV or watch it live on space. Exclusivity deals are loving bullshit, but at least we don't have it as bad as the Europeans. They have to wait 6 months past the airdate just to get it on Netflix. Way to encourage piracy guys. E: wait, Itunes seems to have it now. Totally sympathize with you there though. Itunes is a bloated mess. Svaha fucked around with this message at 18:10 on May 11, 2018 |

I've read SpoilerTV and am glad that at least two key things should still make it into this season: The ring station seems to be going up in episode 7, and since there's 10 episodes, we hopefully get the guy splatting against the bulkhead.

Amazon lets you watch through your browser so you can just watch on your PC/Console or jack your pc/laptop/phone into your TV via HDMI/Chromecast but if that's too much then  I guess?  https://www.amazon.com/The-Expanse-Season-3/dp/B07BNVJK3R

xerxus posted:https://www.jamessacorey.com/expanse-streaming/ This bit has me worried. Everyone seems to be petitioning Netflix to pick up the show, but Can Netflix even do that if Amazon has the streaming rights? Does Amazon have exclusive streaming rights in the US?

I hope this doesn't mean they have to get picked up by a broadcast network to survive.

Netflix could always produce it, then sell it to Amazon for streaming in the US and continue to stream internationally. That might be more cooperation than we should hope for tho.

considering the distribution fuckery i think its a long shot this gets picked up by netflix/amazon maybe a third party could come in so that those agreements would stay in place but then your options are basically hulu (owned by the same company that axed it on syfy) or some other broadcast network

I don't know a single person in Canada who watches the expanse "legally" but all wish they could some how just toss a couple toonies in an envelope and mail it directly to the expanse team each week One day we'll break the network's backs and rebuild the industry into something reasonable.

That might be more cooperation than we should hope for tho. See, that's the thing though. It wasn't produced by SyFy, it's produced by Alcon in-house. SyFy just bought the right to show it first in the US on live TV, which doesn't conflict with amazon's streaming service. No way are Netflix and Amazon going to play nice, but as I said, Itunes also has it, which might mean that Amazon's deal is not exclusive for streaming.

PriorMarcus posted:It should. The show is hosed for this reason. Neither company will want to touch it when they will be inadvertently helping the competition. Well, it could always just go to Amazon, in which case Amazon is still happy because it continues to screw over the European Netflix watchers (as it has from the start). That's the deal that Netflix has already agreed to, so nothing really changes.

Potentially, Netflix can just pay the huge fuckoff amount by themselves and Amazon would just not have the rights for any new seasons. That's probably the best case scenario. Worst case scenario, the show is caught in distribution hell too long to ever bring it back successfully. See also- The Invisible Man

That feed even has commercial breaks for other shows airing on Space, so somebody's getting paid even if they don't record the viewership numbers. But yeah if I could mail a couple toonies a week to the production team that would be vastly preferable

Worst case scenario, the show is caught in distribution hell too long to ever bring it back successfully. Without being party to whatever distribution legal fuckery has taken place, it's impossible to know if that's even possible. When it comes gown to brass tacks though, Amazon has the most money.

If either US and/or international exclusivity runs out at a closer point in time, I could see either party springing for it.

I bought the season on Google Play (in Canada) and that's worked alright for me, but that's a stream, not a download. Episodes become available at some late hour Pacific coast time, so I just watch it the next day (I'm East coast)
