NEWS: The Oklahoma Attorney General's office issued a rebuttal letter to the Texas AG's office's letter to the Big 12. Oklahoma AG Gentner Drummond says that the idea that Big 12 may not sanction its members is “facially absurd” and says Texas Tech’s actions have “constituted a shameful chapter in the story of college football.” Per me and @max_olson.
So it’s being reported that @AmazonMGMStudio is considering a hard reboot to the Stargate franchise!
Absolutely NO ONE wants this! I will actively boycott this!
I want a Stargate that feels like Stargate, not something directed at Gen Z women.
I am radicalized on this! It’s either Martin Gero or bust! I don’t want to see Stargate from someone who wasn’t involved in the original show. End of story.
Amazon MGM Studios has cancelled the new Stargate revival ... but fans aren't taking it lying down! Join Darren and David to catch up on the latest on the #SaveStargate campaign that kicked off this week.

One of the silliest arguments made in favor of hard reboots of long-running sci-fi franchises is "but you can't expect new viewers to watch hundreds of old episodes!"
This is 100% upside down. You make a great new show that gives new viewers just enough background info to enjoy and understand what's going on.. and then many of them will WANT to binge watch those hundreds of old episodes. And they'll be amazed and appreciate the new show even more.
It's a win-win.
Incredible how hard this is for entertainment executives to understand.
Hi @AmazonMGMStudio#SaveStargate
Could you pls check your email & forward mine to Peter Friedlander.
I know, I know, he's been inundated this last week, but pls request he replies to each and every one of them.
#SaveStargate hit the global top ten on X on June 10. Number 2 in Norway. Number 4 in France. Top ten in the United States. 74,000+ petition signatures. $8,000 raised for billboards outside Amazon MGM's own headquarters.
Michael Shanks posted. The fandom showed up internationally. Amazon has said nothing in nine days.
In 2019 Mallozzi ran #WeWantStargate. It trended. Deadline covered it. Four years later it produced the Gero series. Amazon just killed that series.
Can the fans beat the amazon execs?
Last night watched SG-1's first episode sharing with my wife who's never seen it before.
She enjoyed it.
I let her know she has 17 more seasons. Hopefully we can make that 18 by the time she's caught up. #SaveStargate
