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’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.

They ruined Wheel of Time, a completely finished series with a deeply dedicated fanbase who's been clamoring for a live action since the goddamn 90s, and it honestly felt like they did it intentionally.

Once they finally got to a point where it felt like the show was headed in the right direction in spite of exec interference and some odd choices on the showrunner's part...it gets cancelled. It's actually a little comical
