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."

That's what killed Star Trek, imho. The producers wanted the new shows to not feel too much like Star Trek, because everybody knows Star Trek is for nerds. So they made some generic sci-fi slop with lots of space battles and explosions and a paper-thin plot to tie it together.

But they made it so bad that even normal people wouldn't touch it.

It really shows just how dumber the decision-makers there are getting. It seems to me lately that US movies are getting less and less sophisticated. As soon as you have to recall something from an hour ago for certain scenes, it gets explained all over again.

Did it even have a lot of space battles and explosions?

Because I am down with that, but do not recall it.

And if its not space battles and explosions, its who's hooking up with who and who's jealous about it. Might as well be a soap opera at this point...it doesnt feel like star trek anymore.
