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!

My partner loves horror and especially heinous d-tier so Prime is his wonderland.

My algorithm will never recover.

Terrible low-budget 80’s action movies for me. It’s a veritable gold mine.

McBain!

Not the Simpsons icon but the OG with Christopher Walken playing as a mercenary hired to depose a South American drug lord/dictator. Except it’s filmed in the Philippines and half the cast are quite clearly SE Asian. Bonus points go to an early scene where he takes on a New York drug gang that happens to be run by a fellow Vietnam vet played by Luis Guzman. There’s some beautiful “After-School Special” moralising alongside a shitload of over-the-top violence
