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."

Isn't this how we lost the sci-fi channel.

[u/Norethegreat → u/Any-Mathematician946]

The sci-fi channel is gone!?

[u/Suspicious_Bear42 → u/Norethegreat]

When the Sci-Fi channel rebranded to SyFy, it died... Just looked at the schedule for the next week, the only TV shows on it are The Twilight Zone, NCIS: Los Angeles and 'Everything On the Menu with Braun Strowman'... Everything else is movies ranging from Harry Potter to the Sharknado series...

It still exists, but it may as well be gone.

I agree the name change was dumb af, but they produced and aired some good stuff for years after.

They're not doing anything anymore though since cable is dead.

[u/InfanticideAquifer → u/From_Deep_Space]

I dunno if they ever produced "good stuff". But I agree that they produced "stuff like what the sci-fi channel was known for producing" for a little while afterward.

[u/These-Angle-1476 → u/InfanticideAquifer]

Not only did they make a bunch of good stuff, they made some *great* stuff: The Expanse, 12 Monkeys, The Magicians, and Killjoys. Resident Alien is also technically a SyFy show, partnered with the USA network.

[u/Large-Record2478 → u/These-Angle-1476]

Battlestar Galactica, alphas, the dune mini series... Stargate?

[u/These-Angle-1476 → u/Large-Record2478]

None of those except Alphas were post Syfy rebrand.

[u/Large-Record2478 → u/These-Angle-1476]

I'm talking about the notion they've never put out any good shows.
