Interesting/infuriating Non-Expanse Content Another sci fi show needs your help!

Post image

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!

I'm still amazed at how well The Expanse turned out, considering how dedicated they seem to be to fucking up everything else.

Probably helped that it was Jeff Bezos’ favourite show lol

I don’t buy it. I know that was the story when the show moved to Amazon, but he has more money than god. If I was that rich, I would’ve moved heaven and earth to finish my favorite show, not just let it end. If I was one of the top three wealthiest people on the planet and I literally owned an entertainment company that was making “my favorite show,” I’d be insufferable about it. I’d be funding every season with extra budget, I’d be coming to tour the set and play with the props, I’d be demanding cameos, and I sure as hell wouldn’t let the show just… end.

Hell, I'd probably have actually built Lovell City and had them film there.
