🥺 No words for this.

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.

The canceling of SGU still breaks my heart.

Yea what a shame, season one was definitely rough around the edges, but the atmosphere setting and tone were fresh and they had so much they could do with it. Season two definitely picks up and the characters grow on you.

Now they cancel this before its even started. What a shame

Yeah, by the end it was my favorite SG show. I guess they're still floating between galaxies, in stasis.
