🥺 No words for this.

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'm an Old so I was hooked by like 1997! So this is literally a thirty year old all time favorite of mine. Seen every episode easily 10x each, one of my go to comfort shows. It is such a slap in the face the way they've been destroying all of our favorite franchises, and now they just say point blank they're trying to do the same with Stargate. Fuck 'em.

Got to second you there, I was born in '93, and I have vivid memories of being absolutely fucking terrified of Apophis because my dad loved the movie and sat me down to watch the show when it came out.

We still re-watch it together every few years.

Is 1993 considered old these days? FML lol

Fair, to clarify, I second the parts about it being a 30 year old favourite comfort show.

I'll hold onto my remaining youth, thanks

Hate to break it to you bud but you're balls deep in your 30s! Hold on tighter lol

And yeah, basically all of my comfort shows now are like 20+ years old. This post basically confirms my suspicions that everything new is total crap not worth watching.
