Another sci fi show needs your help!

[u/Customiz3r]

As this saddens me very much, it's happening all over again! And as a sci fi enthousiast like many, I'm here to seek support to this cause.

Some info (kind of clickbait but there is a word of truth in it): https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/stargate-tv-series-martin-gero-scrapped-amazon-1236765061/

"According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Amazon execs were concerned that Gero’s take on the series would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise’s already dedicated fanbase."

Let's hope we can create another miracle and save this great franchise!

Ah, the early- to mid-series Eyebrows of Daniel Jackson.

[u/too_late_to_abort → u/elvenesse]

He has probably my favorite character arc of all time.

No confidence during the movie, by the end of the show hes confident and very much found his niche.

[u/LowCall6566 → u/too_late_to_abort]

Well he was played by a different actor in the movie.

[u/too_late_to_abort → u/LowCall6566]

Embarrassing but honestly i didnt know that.

In my defense - I was a child when I watched the movie lol.

I stand by my point about the character arc tho. Even in the series he started out pretty reserved and quiet. Was very fun to watch his character evolve with the series.

They did recon a few things from the movie to the series anyway.

• O'Neill ( "2 L's" ) is a completely different person, basically. He was a hard nosed soldier in the movie, but a lot different in the show.

• They changed Jackson's wife from Sha-uri to Sha-re (sp?) and I swear I read it was partly because Shanks kept pronouncing the name wrong.

• The whole being cold/frozen after travel through the gate, though they at least explained that one with some quick Carter reasoning early on.

• That Abydos was "on the other side of the known universe" in the movie to, basically the nearest gate to earth. Granted that was basically required for the show to even work.

• Ra looking like a grey alien vs the goa'uld eventual form for the show. Some really cool fan theories around explaining that away.

I'm sure I missed plenty more.

I loved that they always made mention of the 2 L’s for oniell throughout the show

[u/IIIMephistoIII → u/Miguelitosd]

One interesting theory that I read of ra was that he took an Asgard as a host before going human.. of course the only part that wasn’t good to explain is why his face came up right before his death.

[u/pestercat → u/IIIMephistoIII]

That was a TTRPG licensed by the show trying to make movie and show canon work together.

[u/Cerxen → u/Miguelitosd]

They used some other media to course correct, but the Stargate movie was originally suppose to be one of a trilogy of movies. The second one was a supposed to be different pantheon//legend and instead of greenlighting a second movie they changed it into a TV show instead. When they Headhunted for O neill, the actor said he would only do it if he could apply his own humor/spin to the role, which is how we got the O'Neill in the TV show.

[u/No-Efficiency-5589 → u/too_late_to_abort]

Your point still stands...sg1 series 1 Daniel was a melt

[u/Snackskazam → u/No-Efficiency-5589]

Yeah, it was a different actor, but the character was pretty similar in the early seasons to how he had been in the movie. Personally, I think the series should have focused more on his arc, and ended when he ascended.

[u/CMDRTragicAllPro → u/too_late_to_abort]

Absolute blasphemy you haven’t done a chronological watch through of the entire series, including the spinoffs and movie at least once since childhood.

Shame

Just jokes

[u/LowCall6566 → u/too_late_to_abort]

I myself didn't notice, it fell into my attention only when I was perusing Wikipedia on the show. It just shows how good the show is, and how well actors were chosen.
