@SGOffworld @AmazonMGMStudio @PrimeVideo Amazon may hold the rights... but it does not own the Stargate Culture.

Dismissed because we're not "broad" enough, but we keep showing them it's the fans and original creators who give Stargate its value.

@CaptainCalvinCa @larrynemecek @AmazonMGMStudio Was Stargate's issue "too niche" or executive judgement?

If Stargate is too niche with the large fan response, then so is Starfleet Academy.

Is SNW's shortened season 5 due to "niche" appeal?

"Something New" might be a disaster, but the Trek fandom needs to heal.

[The Meritocratic Humanist @MeritHumanist]

@CaptainCalvinCa @larrynemecek Year One risks stagnation, if it's more of the same.

But it's bigger than SNW's declining popularity: the whole era hasn't been widely accepted, in fact it's been quite divisive.

Perhaps it's time for something new.

[The Meritocratic Humanist @MeritHumanist]

@CaptainCalvinCa @larrynemecek "Wait and See" what? Year One will be the same sets, same writers; an extension of SNW.

Why not give a chance to something else, by another creative team in a new direction instead?

[The Meritocratic Humanist @MeritHumanist]

@larrynemecek Respectfully Larry, No.

Whether people have liked the new era or not, there's no denying it hasn't been as well received as previous eras.

Perhaps it's time for a change, or a rest, as the community heals.

[The Meritocratic Humanist @MeritHumanist]

@AmazonMGMStudio, something you couldn't measure when you discarded "fans" for a broader audience.

T2's T-1000 himself. In just the Atlantis pilot, and 22 years later fighting for #SaveStargate.

More than fandom!

[Robert Patrick 🇺🇸 @robertpatrickT2]

Stargate fans I see you!

Rachel @rachel_luttrell nothin’ but love my friend!

#SaveStargate

[The Meritocratic Humanist @MeritHumanist]

So... Do you get it yet @AmazonMGMStudio?

This isn't just "another" Legacy IP.

[Rachel Luttrell @rachel_luttrell]

Stargate is family. Always has been. Whether you were on set, behind the scenes or watching at home, you belonged. 💙

#SaveStargate

[The Meritocratic Humanist @MeritHumanist]

They didn't consider fans valuable enough to continue Gero's Stargate.

But we're impossible to ignore!

#SaveStargate

[GateWorld.net #SaveStargate @GateWorld]

Let's get noisy again, Stargate fans! Tuesday's tweet storm is asking @AmazonMGMStudio to do the right thing and bring back Martin Gero's show. #SaveStargate!

Log 052: Dignity

Relationships, Convictions and Actions.

Grief carries us through loss; we either learn to live with it, or we don't.

Is there Something for you to Believe In?

#TheMeritocraticHumanist

[The Meritocratic Humanist @MeritHumanist]

@AmazonMGMStudio Fan-discarding shows lose the only audience that was guaranteed to show up.

Reverse the decision. Gero's Stargate, with its audience built in, is the only viable option.

#SaveStargate: @martingero's Stargate or none.

[The Meritocratic Humanist @MeritHumanist]

Trek, then Wars, then Who, discarded their audiencs.

Now the Gate.

Original creators, original cast, the broadest appeal in the genre: you burn it for an audience that isn't watching?

The line is here.

@AmazonMGMStudio #SaveStargate

[David "Stargate Genius Leader" Hewlett @dhewlett]

Now Stargate!? @PrimeVideo

[The Meritocratic Humanist @MeritHumanist]

#SaveStargate doesn't mean "give us a Stargate."

It means Gero's Stargate!

A new version isn't a save; it's the discard, with the logo on it.

Distinction matters.

Save @martingero's Stargate.

@AmazonMGMStudio

[GateWorld.net #SaveStargate @GateWorld]

We want @AmazonMGMStudio to #SaveStargate because these shows are magical. And not just any ol' project can capture lighting in a bottle: @MartinGero's show will bring the franchise into an exciting new era.

Don't take your foot off the gas! Tell Amazon we want Martin's Stargate.

[The Meritocratic Humanist @MeritHumanist]

@PopcastGuys Netflix and Apple offer shows that don't have pre-existing audiences.

There is no "Dad's" show stigma.

Reworking shows for a younger audience by discarding "Dads" will always fail.

Log 051: Weaponisation

Representation reduces: the actor to a label, the character to a position, the work to a sermon.

"Visibility" used to the exclusion of all others, excludes and weaponises the cause.

#TheMeritocraticHumanist

[The Meritocratic Humanist @MeritHumanist]

@venturepictures Interesting theory.

[The Meritocratic Humanist @MeritHumanist]

@venturepictures

[The Meritocratic Humanist @MeritHumanist]

@venturepictures @martingero Yes it's worthless without passionate fans.

For an executive it's not about fans, it's about them: what's worse a failed show they backed or a successful one that isn't theirs?

Not please make our show, it's your other show is worthless without us and we want Gero's Stargate.

[The Meritocratic Humanist @MeritHumanist]

@AmazonMGMStudio @martingero's Stargate!

[The Meritocratic Humanist @MeritHumanist]

A rare moment in time, the Stargates are aligning; fandom, creators and performers, a unified voice, in a single direction... @AmazonMGMStudio.

We want Gero's Stargate!
