Simpler, happier times!

Sadly, it's true. Amazon has elected not to move forward with the new Stargate series.

There's not much I can add beyond confirming what's happened. But I will say this...

Creator Martin Gero developed a new Stargate series over two years, ultimately crafting a show that offered a fresh jumping-on point for new viewers while deeply respecting existing canon. It was a series that avoided the pitfalls of several modern remakes and reboots by fully embracing the core of its predecessors: action, adventure, exploration, wonder, heart, humor, and found family. And based on that creative vision, the new Stargate series was greenlit in November of 2025.

As of today, officially, that original vision is no more. We'll never get the opportunity to introduce you to that world and those characters - or reintroduce you to, and check in with, some familiar faces from the past.

My heart breaks. For the incredibly talented writers who worked tirelessly to bring this show to life. For Martin who maintained an unwavering positive outlook throughout despite the challenges, and who always strove to make a show that would honor the fans while welcoming a new audiences. And for the long-suffering Stargate fandom who waited so long and came so close to getting a show they truly would have loved.

Unfortunately been thinking about the Ferrari Luce today. Luce is Italian for light. In Italy Diet Coke isn’t called Diet Coke. It’s called Coca Cola Light.

The Ferrari Light.

It’s literally a Diet Ferrari.

In loving memory of Kyle Busch.

Did you know Gus Grissom tried to run a car in the 1966 Indy 500? 🏎️

The car, whose co-owners included astronaut Gordon Cooper, failed to qualify at @IMS but earned two top 10 finishes that year.

And this is a photo with JUST Cup drivers. Think about the countless others in different series and those now out of #NASCAR that KB impacted, through KBM or otherwise.

His eye for talent and ability to cultivate it was special.

[Jesse Marshall @jmarshfof]

Kyle Busch was Dale Earnhardt to the generation that came after Dale Earnhardt.

[Phil Spain @philenespanol]

For a generation, this is their 2/18/01

[Earnhardt M. Jaworski @TourneyEarnie]

Do it for Dale.
Be like Biff.
Rock it like Rowdy.

Wanted to share this video I got at Atlanta earlier this year after Kyle won the truck race. I loved seeing this happen in the moment and it means more now.

[Zach @BiggelsTV]

He was brash, he was in your face, he didn’t say the right things, and nothing pissed him off more than finishing 2nd. Thank you for everything, @KyleBusch.

There will never be another #KFB.

[Lisa Shapiro @FluffyFireAngel]

This is the way to do it 😭💔

[EpicGreenThunder @Texachev]

NASCAR should do what the MLB did with Roberto Clemente and elect Kyle Busch into the HOF immediately. I don’t think anyone would complain if he was an addition to this next class that was just announced

[Lisa Shapiro @FluffyFireAngel]

@supercars Thank you for posting this. Means a lot to us Rowdy Nation fans to know he was a big enough deal worldwide that both your series and F1 have posted condolences 😭💔

[Chase Briscoe @chasebriscoe]

This doesn’t even feel real typing this… Easily one of the absolute greatest of all time, any track, any car, it didn’t matter he was gonna be good. Getting to race against Kyle was a true pinch me moment, I’ll never forget the first time just sharing the track with someone I had so much respect for. Two of my favorite wins of my entire career came going head to head against KB and what made them so special was the fact that I was racing against KB someone who I considered one of the all time best. Getting to know Kyle throughout my NASCAR career has been a highlight for me. Whether I was racing door to door with him or talking to him about Samantha, Brexton, and Lennix and what all they had going on I always had to tell myself how cool it was I was getting to be around one of my heroes. I’m gonna miss everything about “KFB” and I can assure you no race I run from now on will ever feel the same because the impact Kyle Busch left is unlike one any other driver could ever have. Thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Busch family and all of Rowdy Nation. Godspeed KB.

[Kyle Larson @KyleLarsonRacin]

Completely heartbroken to hear the news of Kyle’s passing.

I have so many memories of great battles with him throughout my career that I’ll cherish forever. It’s hard to even put into words what he meant to me and my career, whether he knew it or not. He was the bar we all measured ourselves against. Just a pure racer to the core. As real as they come.

I hate this so much for their family, Samantha, Lennix, and especially Brexton. The bond Kyle and Brexton shared, and everything he poured into his racing and his family, was incredible.

RIP KFB 💔

[jesse love jr @jesselovejr1]

My first hero. The first driver I ever wanted to be like. You were bigger than life. Since I was a kid, I dreamed that one day I could be like you too. I’m just one of the many kids you gave that dream to. And I never stopped looking up to you.

My heart is with Samantha, Brexton, and Lennix. The Busch family and friends. Your fans. And everyone at RCR.

There is no doubting that you gave everything you had. You left nothing on the table. You inspired me, gave me dreams, and helped me in ways I wish I got the chance to tell you. You’ll always be my first hero. And im going to miss you.

[DennyDeliversYT 📦 @DennyDelivers2]

even at the end, he gave us one last bow 🙏🏁

[Dale Earnhardt Jr. @DaleJr]

Kyle and I had a really challenging existence for many years. But we luckily took the time to figure out our differences and that was something he instigated with a conversation in his bus around how we each managed our racing teams. I was super eager for us to get on better terms. But it was he who made the effort for that to be possible. We did some media together also to laugh through some of the things we put each other through many years ago. Most recently we had even been discussing him running my Late Model at Wilkesboro this summer. He seemed extremely happy and we had planned to meet up next Thursday to get his seat to the shop. He laughed over the idea of his fans and JRM fans having to cheer in unison during that race.

Kyle was one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history. No one can deny that. But he was also a father, a husband, brother, son, and a friend to many. My heart is broken for the Busch family. I will never be able to make sense of this loss but I am thankful that we had found a way to become friends.

[Carson Hocevar @CarsonHocevar]

every day is a privilege and today is a truly sad reminder of that.

this little boy in this picture hated you on sunday’s. but he loved to hate you, and you made it very difficult to hate and not become a fan when your passion for racing showed, when you would show up to his home town to race at his home tracks. he will be forever grateful for that.

from a fan, to a hater, to a competitor, to a teammate, and to even maybe a friend. i share that story because this little kid in the picture was not anywhere near the true number that you impacted for the better just through racing.

you will be deeply missed. both on the race track, but certainly off.

RIP. 🕊️
