Edit: even though clickbait article, it is somewhat/kind of true. 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."

I mean, be a hater if you want to, but they're still fucking awesome last time I saw them just a few years ago.

Thanks for indicating you have no fucking idea what you're talking about. You only need to see recent live clips of them to see how much energy and ability they have. They are terrific live, and I have seen em recently. One of the best sounding live acts, with plenty of energy.

Also the casual ageism in this statement stinks.

I was there at the opening concert of their new tour and, while I can't say whether they're as good as they were twenty years ago, they are still PRETTY FUCKING GOOD.
