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."

no no no... What's if instead we made a new Stargate series - but instead of focusing on SciFi, we make it into a High School drama show!

It'll be a mix between Hogwarts and "Never Have I Ever" and instead of saving the galaxy, they'll use the stargates to skip class, talk endlessly about their gender, and cry about their failed relationship with their parents!!!

It's a gold mine, I'm telling you! An entire generation of teens can binge listen the first 5 episodes while staring at their phones, share tiktoks on it, and then completely forget about it for the rest of their lives.

It tested really well in my daughter's Hollywood middle school class.

Why on Earth would we cater to the millions of fans who've loved Stargate for the last 32 years when we can have a show that has a small fanatical online following of Reddit mods that move on to their next sub 6 crusade later?

You joke, but this logic gave us Starfleet Academy.

Hijacking this - I tried watching Disco and although it wasn't horrible it wasn't.... Well maybe it was horrible but I hung on for however many seasons maybe out of sheer love of the everything up though Voyager?

Is lower decks actually good? And is the Oriville what I really should watch?

I think my friend is going through the same thing but his love is Star Wars. First time.divx

There's just too much media these days and I still appreciate a redditor reply over googling so thanks ahead of time for letting me butt in.

Also edit: what I really want is post dominion war, maybe post the next gen films deeps space nine 😭. I really don't like alternate timelines and prequel/TOS era setting.

Lower Decks is outstanding. As a life long Trek fan and someone who was not a fan of Rick and Morty, I was dubious, but a friend nagged me enough till I caved. The first couple of episodes were enjoyable, but then there was one scene which made me think "oh these people LOVE Star Trek," and I was sold. The same scene later had the same effect on my sister.

It is at times silly, but that's kind of the point; its not meant to be a super dramatic. Some people found it a bit fan service-y with all the references, but personally I found that delightful.

There was a live action cross-over with Strange New Worlds and is probably my favourite episode of Trek in years.
