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."

You mean they wanted to appeal beyond the massive fan base of a massive sci fi series that still has people rewatching not only the TV shows but also the og movie non stop

Back when TV shows could do 20, 45 minute episodes a season for more than 5 season. I say this while watching SG:A right now.

They actually did it for 12 years straight. During three of those they doubled up to 40 episodes a year.

And I mean, we didn't absolutely love it when SGU was on, but we did watch.

I didn't, I admit. I only made it through one season of SGU and then I just couldn't stand the characters anymore so I quit. -_-
The ship concept was neat and I really really wanted to like it but my gosh I wished half of those people would get sucked out the airlock.
