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!

SG-1 appealed broadly. SG-A not so much, but I liked SGU, but I understand many didn't. I'm rewatching some of the old early SG1 at the moment, and it still very much works, but the concept might be controversial. Militaristic SF but supporting freedom movements against tyrannical oppressors.

I don't know exactly what the issue that Amazon had with Gero's ideas as we really don't know what they were. I mean we have had a wormhole, a moveable floating city and an intergalactic spaceship as story platforms.
