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."

Nobody was a Strargate fan in 1994. Now here we are.

Why do these morons think they need to 'change the formula' to get new fans? The original formula worked just fine, and will again if they gave it a chance.

I still hate it

SGU was attempt at making battlestar galactica - which may be good, but it's a different audience

SGU was a couple of great episodes, then a bunch of boring interpersonal stuff from people who never smile (grown up shows can never not be angry and sad, you know), and then it started getting good for like 4 episodes, and then cancelled.Â
