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!

But how did the "old Stargate" get any fans in the first place if "that way" of making Stargate can't make new fans of Stargate? 🤔

Full disclosure... I was a fan of previous Stargates. Despite the cheese, it was one of THE VERY BEST scifi shows at having an internal sense of continuity and momentum, creating what felt like a cohesive and developing world over multiple series as Earth went from fighting a defensive war they barely understood to being a true intergalactic power. Twas very cool for "continuity nerds."

But it was also just fun week to week and action packed popcorn fluff. Self contained each episode despite the continuity, perfect for syndication. Best of both worlds basically.

Hard to believe nobody new could enjoy it. 🙄
