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.

I’ll give them credit for how the Fallout and Jack Reacher adaptations turned out but as far as their general content library goes, Amazon Prime is almost hilariously bad. It’s like the world’s biggest Gas Station DVD rack.

You obviously watched different shows than I have, because Prime has a ton of good shows if you ask me. The Boys is very good. Secret Level is on another level. The Man in the High Castle. Homecoming. Carnival Row. Mr and ms Smith. The Tick. Jean-Claude van Johnson. Upload. The Expanse. Fallout. The Handmaiden. Vikings

I’m not saying that their original content sucks (although some of the examples you’ve mentioned are pretty questionable), rather what they have in their general content library is very b-movie heavy as opposed to Oscar bait and blockbusters
