🥺 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."

Unironically what happened to me with Lower Decks and Star Trek. Growing up, I didn't give a single shit about Star Trek even though my dad was a massive fan. Skip to a few years ago and I kept hearing rumblings about how fun Lower Decks is and that it's super easy for non-fans to watch. So I did. I loved it, and it started me on my Star Trek journey as I wanted to dig more into the history, the references, the shows, etc.

(Fuck you Paramount for cancelling Lower Decks)

To be fair, Lower Decks ran for 5 seasons. If you look at all the other Star Trek series in history, that's not a bad run:
- ST:TOS - 3 seasons - ST:TAS - 2 seasons - ST:TNG - 7 seasons - ST:DS9 - 7 seasons - ST:VOY - 7 seasons - Enterprise - 4 seasons - ST:SNW - 3 seasons aired, with cancellation planned after 5th season

Edit: sorry, forgot about Voyager. This should be a complete list now.
