Well this is a hastily cobbled together shit-take of conjecture and misdirection.

The author starts by misreading a grassroots marketing launch as a statement of exclusive intent. Come on.  Announcing a series TO a fandom alongside its community leaders is standard PR; it's not proof that the show was designed exclusively FOR fandom. In fact, it was made clear from the start that, first and foremost, the series would function as an accessible entry point for new viewers...while still respecting canon.  And, by the way, “Respecting canon” does not mean “requiring new viewers to be familiar with 350+ hours of existing Stargate programming” as this article implies.

The author proceeds to support their point by launching into fan fiction: "No plot details were revealed about the scrapped show, but I can easily imagine…”  And they certainly do.  What follows is a parade of clichés, a generic legacy-sequel checklist that the author has conjured up from nothing and pinned to the new show as predictive evidence.

Then comes the claim that Starfleet: Academy failed because the showrunners: "focused too much on paying tribute to the series' past.”  Uh, wut?  Yes, Starfleet: Academy did receive a fair amount of criticism, but strict adherence to canon wasn't on the list of grievances.  This reads like a comment from someone who likely never even watched the show, much less perused the fan response.

They state: "Rebooting the cannon also would let the new Stargate showrunner bring back the Goa'uld, the franchise's most iconic villains…”  No, it wouldn’t.  Know why?   Because the goa’uld... ARE CANON!!!!

The article concludes with a disconnected meditation on an old Stargate storyline with no relation to either the new show or the author’s own argument.

I want to say it was written by A.I., but surely A.I. would display more logical consistency than this.

This is disappointing. I love, love, love Stargate.

I even love Stargate Universe and that series with its epic cast deserved five seasons. Shut up.

[Daniel Fugate @df2506]

@BaronDestructo Thank you and all the writers, especially Martin, for trying to bring Stargate back to us. Maybe one day it'll happen again. 🤞

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.

Surely, the only reason this hasn’t been updated with 3.0, is because more is coming? Right…? Right?

I think the only one of these I have is 33. It's amazing. I'll have to track the other two down.

DARWYN COOKE illustrated three major stories for Justin Gray and me during our run on Jonah Hex, and each time he was the one who came to us asking to draw the book. We could not have been happier.

Every issue he turned in felt like a small masterpiece...pure Darwyn, distilled onto the page.
When he finished issue #50, he was genuinely upset that the Eisners didn’t even mention the book in his nomination, even though he went on to win Best Artist that year. That was Darwyn: fiercely proud of the work, fiercely loyal to his friends, and always pushing for the things he believed deserved recognition.

Darwyn was a very close friend to both Amanda and me, and he championed our work in the most meaningful way possible, by actually collaborating with us whenever he could. We spent countless hours talking about the creator‑owned projects he wanted to dive into once he wrapped the next Parker novel. Losing him to lung cancer meant losing not only the books we were dreaming up together, but the ones he was dreaming up on his own.

I’ll admit something I never told him: I wasn’t thrilled when he took on the Parker adaptations. Not because they weren’t brilliant—they were—but because each one delayed the incredible original ideas he was pitching me constantly. He loved those parker novels, and his plan was always to finish them and then devote himself entirely to his own creations- but we never got to enjoy this and I think of this often. I think it is one of the major motivators for me to always do my own thing - successful or not.

Anyway, I suggest you track these books down if you never read them- each one a visual masterpiece that the world will never forget by the one and the only Darwyn Cooke.
