Streaming services keep killing shows that respect their audiences, then act surprised when no one trusts them anymore.

The Pancake Parlour at 11pm hits different when you're trying to escape your own patterns.

Bavarian Apple stack in front of me. No headphones — so I can hear everything.

More people here than expected. Uni students cramming, families at 11pm.

Your body adapts faster than you think it will.

A week of cycling commutes and I've gone from shifting gears on every incline to barely touching them. Legs sore but strong. The kind of sore that says you're building something. The Gold Coast marathon is just over a month away.

Credit to @martingero for sticking to his principles and aiming to make the kind of show fans would actually get behind. Nobody’s sticking around for a sellout. This franchise is too good to stay dead forever, hopefully it returns soon, with a writing team as sharp as this one.

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.

EXCLUSIVE: The new "Stargate" TV series has been axed at Amazon.

The show was first announced with a series order in November 2025 and hailed from showrunner Martin Gero, who was a writer on "Stargate SG-1" and "Stargate: Atlantis." Sources say Amazon execs were concerned that Gero's take on the series would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise's already dedicated fanbase.

Another Saturday, another long run. Rowville and back. It's a route I know by car but had never run on foot before.

The hill up to Jacksons Road from Eastlink will make you work for it.

Chaos by its nature is unpredictable. You can seek it out, but it's never going to be exactly what you expected.

Every day is a calculation: protein, calories, timing.

Target: 3:45:00.

Left at 9am. Home by 3pm. That much time on your feet takes a toll.

At least it didn't rain.

It’s times like these when I reach for my safari hat, becoming a curious observer of a new phenomenon - something that I need to document and comprehend so that it may one day become completely familiar.

[Robert Koch @kochie]

How often do you go on Safari?

We’re often comfortable in our bubble, going to the same places, seeing the same people, having the same conversations. We find ourselves in patterns of repetition faster than we anticipate.

[Robert Koch @kochie]

Sometimes being presented a new situation is so jarring that we seldom handle it with the wit and elegance we’re capable of.

Other times we find ourselves incapable of escaping a situation that we desperately want to.

I live for finds like this, especially when it means backing a Melbourne local. Then again, Melbourne’s indie scene is ridiculously alive, so maybe I should’ve seen it coming.

[Robert Koch @kochie]

A few times a year I stumble on an artist or sound that is straight dopamine into the veins. Today, shuffle dropped me right into #PrettyBleak’s banger, coming to terms with it all.

I’ve seen it on countless drives into the city, and I’m sure it’ll outlive me as a true Melbourne landmark.

One of the best things about my one-on-ones is getting a daytime wander around Cremorne.

[Robert Koch @kochie]

Often overshadowed by Richmond, it still punches above its weight—especially with the Nylex Clock. For anyone who’s lived in Melbourne’s south-east, it’s as instantly recognisable as the Arts Spire or Eureka Tower.
