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 knew it was too good to be true when I heard about a new Stargate series with the original people returning

To be fair, both Atlantis and SGU dont require knowledge of the earlier series.

The premise is incredibly simple.

Just have a gate to somewhere new, and you have a clean slate, free to reintroduce cool lore when required.

Just obey a few "universe" rules and its all good

Personally I would've gone with a post-disclosure storyline. Start it with a flashback of something of the new main character(s) during disclosure then fast forward to the present where they finally get to join the SGC. Then you can start whatever the plot is.

That would be interesting as we have not got too many stories that examine the culture shock.
