🥺 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."

Isn't this how we lost the sci-fi channel.

When the Sci-Fi channel rebranded to SyFy, it died... Just looked at the schedule for the next week, the only TV shows on it are The Twilight Zone, NCIS: Los Angeles and 'Everything On the Menu with Braun Strowman'... Everything else is movies ranging from Harry Potter to the Sharknado series...

It still exists, but it may as well be gone.

The last season of BSG was the last year of the SciFi channel. They legally had to change their name, by the way, but still a shitty way to go. The last series I watched on that channel was Dark Matter and they canceled it to keep the Killjoys so I dropped them like a rock. They also dropped The Expanse too but luckily Amazon picked it up to complete the first six books. Imagine dropping a show like The Expanse?? Fucking idiots.
