So, if we want #SaveStargate to really have a chance, we NEED this story to get picked up by major media. When Acolyte was canceled, there were stories on fox new, CNN and others about it. There has been nothing about stargate. If we really want to get noticed, we need one of those stories. @dial_the_gate@MichaelShanks@Jack
Dear Hollywood,
People are still watching a sci-fi show that started in the 90s.
Not because they're forced to.
Because it's good.
That should probably be a clue.

Right now is the PERFECT time for Stargate to re-enter the world.
All the major sci-fi brands, like Star Trek, Star Wars, Dr Who, and Battlestar Galactica, are either on hiatus or stuck in development hell.
This leaves sci-fi audiences ravenous for some good sci-fi to watch. It's a wide open field for you, @AmazonMGMStudio, @PrimeVideo.
Furthermore, not too much time has passed for the actors. Sure, Richard Dean Anderson is getting up there in age, but he could still have guest appearances. There is still time, but the actors aren't getting any younger.
However, if Stargate goes back into development hell, first of all, we won't see anything happen for another 5 years, minimum. Probably more. And secondly, when it comes back it'll be a reboot for modern audiences with no connection to the current canon, so we lose all hope of seeing our favorite characters again and find out what they've been up to.
Not utilizing this Window of Opportunity™ would be a tragedy on par with not letting Luke, Han and Leia meet on screen in the sequel trilogy.
So now is the time, Amazon. The audience is there, as proven by the worldwide trending tweet storm and the 94,000 viewers of the MGM flyover. Add to that a https://t.co/emgjVeDb1s petition that will probably reach 100,000 soon, and you have all the market research you could want.
The audience is STARVING. The goal is open. The ball is lined up. You're in position. All you have to do is kick the ball.

Sanctuary is required viewing for any good Stargate fan too by the way. I like to think they are parallel documentaries in alternate realities or something like that.
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
