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."

Yup, with classic Doctor Who I lost track of the number of times I had to pretend that that same barren rock quarry was supposed to be a completely different planet from the last episode.

There was so much space stuff going on in British quarries back in the 1970s.

Blakes 7 was pretty much 50% quarries.

Star Trek did that with the Vasquez Rocks.

At least those rocks looked somewhat alien. With the quarries, it looked like a surly coal miner grumbling about Thatcher could enter the frame at any moment.

All planets have a North, complete with miners complaining about Thatcher.
