@PrimeVideo Adam would make a great guest actor on Stargate #savestargate

@rolancon Please listen @AmazonMGMStudio and #saveStargate

[Lisa König @LisaKoenigAutor]

@rolancon Well put. I am truly devastated by this news. It was such a rare genuinely good thing about to happen, especially in today‘s chaotic world, new Stargate would have been a gift. The positivity of the Stargate world always resonated with me. It had humor, drama, daring, bravery etc

[Lisa König @LisaKoenigAutor]

@AmazonMGMStudio This was the right step. Cancelling it before it was ever being made is not and a huge disappointment and shows such disregard of the fans, it is truly astonishing. Please reconsider. There are so many fans out there excited for Gero‘s vision

[Lisa König @LisaKoenigAutor]

Couldn’t agree more with this measured and well-written letter to @AmazonMGMStudio regarding the Stargate cancellation. You revive a franchise by getting the fans back on board and expand from there.
#savestargate

[Roland Constantijn 🇳🇱 @rolancon]

Since Amazon MGM Studios won't even read an email from a dedicated Stargate fan ('unsolicited submission materials'), which must be bad for business, here's the full content of the email (subject is the axing of Stargate):

Dear Amazon Studios Leadership,
I am writing as a longtime Stargate fan to express my deep disappointment at the cancellation of Martin Gero’s new Stargate series and to ask that you reconsider.

Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe ran for seventeen seasons and built one of the most loyal fanbases in science fiction television. I have been part of that audience for years. I buy Prime Video subscriptions. I watch Amazon originals. I am exactly the viewer you are trying to reach.

The reported reason for the cancellation — that the show was too focused on existing fans — misunderstands how franchise revivals work. You do not build a new audience by abandoning the existing one. You build it by honoring the existing audience first and using their enthusiasm to bring new viewers in alongside them. That is precisely what Martin Gero, Brad Wright, and Joe Mallozzi were doing.

Please restore the Gero Stargate project, or at minimum commit to a revival that respects the franchise’s seventeen seasons of canon and brings back the creative team that built it.

The gate is ready to open again. Please let it.
Thank you for your time. @AmazonMGMStudio @BaronDestructo @MichaelShanks @GateWorld @dial_the_gate @fandompulse @disparutoo

[The Popcast Brothers @PopcastGuys]

Roland's Letter perfectly explains why Amazon needs to move forward with Martin Gero's STARGATE Series. You can't abandon a fan base to chase a new one. Gero has promised time and time again to bring in new fans while honoring what came before. AMAZON, LET HIM COOK! @AmazonMGMStudio please share this with PETER FRIEDLANDER. Do Stargate right. You really can have it both ways. TRUST THE PROCESS! Bring Martin Back.

I love my Stargate merch and was excited to be getting more, what with the new series. I was so hopeful for the new series, genuinely excited despite rarely getting excited for series or movies anymore. I followed everything I could. Cannot understand this choice

I want to hear from you, why is Stargate special?
How'd you find it?
What special memories does it hold?

Let's show @AmazonMGMStudio why Stargate is so special to us fans.

[Lisa König @LisaKoenigAutor]

@Nullspeed1987 @itsTJTalk I mean, Amanda Tapping is gorgeous, so I fully get why

[Lisa König @LisaKoenigAutor]

@Jack2LOneill @SGFansUnited @AmazonMGMStudio was heartbreaking, so here I am. Let's see if we can at the very least show Amazon how disappointed we are and maybe even make them reconsider. What a shame and poor Gero 6/6

[Lisa König @LisaKoenigAutor]

@Jack2LOneill @SGFansUnited @AmazonMGMStudio amazing because it felt like it just started happening as I was getting back into the Stargate world. I got into watching GateWorld and Dial the Gate Youtube channel, often listening to interviews while cooking or cleaning.
To have this announcment now that it's cancelled 5/6

[Lisa König @LisaKoenigAutor]

@ThePlaylistNews Nope, not with people who don’t know what they are talking about and what to ‚make something new‘ and ‚make it their own‘ by ignoring the depth and lore that Stargate is and was. I want Stargate. I don’t want what Amazon considers a ‚broad modern audience‘

[Stargate Fans United (#SaveStargate) @SGFansUnited]

@ThePlaylistNews @_ChristopherM Good luck doing that @AmazonMGMStudio after you’ve pissed off and humiliated the whole franchise by bringing back the original writers and then kicking them to the curb deep in pre-production. Fans will never forget your treachery.

[Lisa König @LisaKoenigAutor]

@ceagan Similar for me in the 2010s. I was a teenager and fell in love with this series so fast. Now I own all the DVDs and also merch. I would have paid to own more

[Redneck Tau’ri @RedneckTauri]

@AmazonMGMStudio @amazon @PrimeVideo

If you think a new Stargate series won’t perform well, consider that fans continue to religiously watch episodes from 20+ years ago.

My wife and I have the Blu-rays in constant rotation and usually watch an episode every night. We’re in the middle of our 21st marathon (currently SG-1, Season 6, Episode 4 - Frozen). Not a week goes by without Stargate playing in our house. Our daughter has watched it countless times and knows the intro music by heart.

Stargate has seen us through good times and bad. Rain and shine. Elation and heartbreak. It has a quality that hasn’t been available on television in decades. It will always be part of our lives and that’s a testament to its greatness and why it should live on with new episodes that preserve the spirit of the original.

You want a hit? Rethink the absurd decision to cancel the new series with the original team. Give them what they need to do their work. Then release it and check the numbers. Afterwards, remaster the original Blu-rays in 4K as an anniversary edition and release it alongside the new series.

You will be met with the enthusiasm of a fan base like no other.

Take a chance on this team. Take a chance on the fans. You will not be disappointed.
