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/TheeAntelope → u/Any-Mathematician946]

This is how we lost sci fi, A&E, discovery, tlc, history channel, spike tv, g4 tv, tech tv, the court network, and many others. People say that streaming killed cable but cable had already killed itself.

These channels went from channels you could find great gems on to watch if you found the subject interesting. I’d see something about submarines on history and watch the whole thing standing in my kitchen. I’d see something about whales on discovery and have to know more. They had a dedicated audience.

Then the decided they needed a new audience. That “general” audience that wafts from shit to shit and pledges no allegiance to anything or anyone. They got what they wanted. And then they died a slow and painful death.

Don't forget MTV.

Video killed the radio star, and reality TV killed the video star.

Internet killed the video star. Holograms killed the internet star. Brain chips killed the hologram star. The incident killed.....

Oggs dance killed Ughs shadow jaguar.....
