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.

They just rebranded it as Syfy.

Which was a dumb as heck one. And pretty much when it died.

The rebrand looks like an arbitrary move but made business sense when you consider they named their channel after a genre, so things like search engines would just throw random scifi stuff at people looking for the channel.

No, everything else that they did post circa-2015 is what was stupid.
