Michael Dougherty let a man go free who admitted to possessing child p**n and brought dildos to have s*x with a 13-year-old
He’s running for Colorado Attorney General.
The election is in two weeks.
Please remember to only use the #SaveStargate hashtag and nothing else during this Tweetstorm...
But I also think it's a good idea to include Martin Gero's name in your posts (as a non-hashtag). The man worked tirelessly for years on this new Stargate series, and he deserves credit for trying so hard to preserve the legacy of the Stargate franchise while also bringing it into an exciting new era.
And maybe, just maybe... with a little bit of luck, us fans can help put Mr. Gero back in the pilot seat for Stargate. @PrimeVideo@AmazonMGMStudio
🚨 Meet Doris, she lives in California and is registered as a 126 year old who has voted in 51 elections and has NO IDEA.
California’s voting system is so corrupt that by simply knocking on the door of the “126 year old” proves election fraud.
EXPOSE IT ALL.
@MichaelShanks The story of how Stargate saved my life was the #1 post on the subreddit this weekend.
I know you’ve been reading fan stories, which encouraged me to share mine. Thank you for pushing fans to raise their voices

Stargate Fans are some of the best fandom in the world. I’ve grown up with the inspiration from the shows and movies. @AmazonMGMStudio are doing all of us a disservice if they cancel this and will turn the fandom into bitter enemies just like the Lord of the Rings and Wheel of Time fans.
Hi @AmazonMGMStudio,
Many of us now work in filmmaking because of shows like Stargate SG-1.
It inspired us with its rich lore, believable character interactions, human drama, and its grounded military science fiction setting.
It showed the progress of humanity from its first baby steps through an unknown portal into a space-faring species.
The show was hopeful, human, and naturally diverse.
It showed the world and mankind coming together despite our differences to create something better.
Indeed, that is what the core of Stargate is and always has been.
We are from around the world.
We are men, women, fathers, mothers, grandparents, grandchilren, and proud of the values Stargate has always stood for. It's rare for a franchise that appeals to people across a political divide, but Stargate always has. It has always stood for the message that we are stronger together. These are the fans.
Martin Gero, Joe Mallozzi, Brad Wright, and everyone else involved have had decades to understand this. There is no better team to trust than the ones who've been there with us the longest. It's a symbiotic relationship.
I, and every Stargate fan, urge you to reconsider during this Window of Opportunity. The writing team was in the middle of their backswing during the cancellation announcement. At least let them finish a season.
We are worth taking a chance on!
I'm Emerald May, and I work in visual effects in Atlanta and I'm proud of shows like Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe that helped steer my career into a place where we make worlds come true.
Thank you.
There is more to the story behind the reason why the Stargate show on Amazon was cancelled.
The original greenlighters at Amazon, Nick Pepper and Matt King, who liked Martin Gero's work that respected the Stargate lore, have been moved, let go, or restructured under a new Amazon MGM studio leadership.
Under the new leadership with Peter Friedlander, who is an ex-Netflix head of U.S. and Canada scripted division, and Blair Fetter, a Netflix vet who ran “spectacle series”, they shifted focus towards maximum broad and global appeal for expensive worldbuilding shows.
They want more shows like Stranger Things, 3 Body Problem, Ozark, etc, which were massive hits, and any new shows must have broad appeal, where they must convincingly bring in new viewers, not just satisfy existing fans.
There is an age-old saying... A product made for everyone is made for no one. These execs don't understand that their success came during a time of a massive global crisis, and pretty much any decent show gets massive ratings due to the forcibly captive audience. COVID really gassed up a lot of execs into thinking they are geniuses when the reality is that these numbers were never going to be repeated again.
What this will likely do is cause Amazon to burn massive amounts of funds for "modern audience-wide appeal" flops that interest no one and offend no one.
And yet, even under this new regime, it is still greenlighting more of Rings of Power despite its underperformance. The chase for "inoffensive broad appeal" is going to bite them in the butt.
The sad part is... a lore-accurate Stargate show was in the works, but because it didn't have enough modern audience broad appeal, they axed it under the new leadership.
Joe Mallozzi, a long-time SG1 showrunner said, "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.”
By all accounts, it sounded like it would have been a good show, but we'll never see it... not at least from the "new" Amazon.
