#SciTrek #WeWantStargate

[Nerd Cookies @nerd_cookies]

I had a terrible dream last night that @AmazonMGMStudio and @PrimeVideo canceled the new Stargate series.

Can you imagine the fan backlash from such an unbelievably stupid decision? Stargate fans would NEVER stop talking about it.

I’m still so glad the show runners for the Fallout series make as much costumes/props practical as possible. So much better than CG mess.

[Joseph Mallozzi 🏴‍☠️ @BaronDestructo]

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.

Have you shouted your displeasure at @AmazonMGMStudio studios today?

Well do it again, Daniel Jackson is reminding you.

[Michael Shanks @MichaelShanks]

I’m gonna simply say this: if you are at all interested in a Stargate show with ANY of the original creators/performers involved, now is the time to say something. Otherwise it really will be the end of that chapter forever. Let them know you are THERE

lets hire the stargate guy to make new stargate, but then fire him because its too stargate-y.

[thatstarwarsgirl @thatstarwarsgrl]

This is so infuriating @amazon @AmazonMGMStudio @PrimeVideo. Stargate has been a pillar in the Sci-fi community for decades. This was the best news most of us have had in a long time. We had faith in this new show & the creators. Please please PLEASE reinstate Stargate 😭🙏

[Stargate Fans United (#SaveStargate) @SGFansUnited]

I’m not ready to let Amazon get away with kicking such an incredible production team (and the fans) to the curb this late in the process after making such a public announcement out of the Stargate’s return (with a straight-to-series order) last year.

Completely unacceptable…

[Harris Covington McGrade🎭🛸 @harrismcgrade]

@PrimeVideo @amazon @AmazonMGMStudio
This would be a colossal mistake.
The "Sleeping Giant of SciFi" was nicknamed as such for a reason.
#Stargate has had so much love and support over the years, especially now since the revival has been announced.
#OPENTHEGATE!

[Joseph Mallozzi 🏴‍☠️ @BaronDestructo]

Nope. No. Sorry. Gonna have to push back on this. We were ever mindful of creating a show that would have broad appeal.

[Nina Infinity @Nina7Infinity]

Hey Stargate Fans please let @amazon and @AmazonMGMStudio know how you feel about them cancelling #Stargate

They MOCK us. They think they don't need us. Let them know what you think of that.

I won't be watching ANY other Stargate that is created without the OG creators /Gero being involved.

I'm DONE with studios SHITTING ON THE FANS AND KILLING IPS WE LOVE.

[Nerd Cookies @nerd_cookies]

This is how many Stargate fans feel. @AmazonMGMStudio brought in Stargate veterans to build hype, only to fire and reportedly replace them with someone unfamiliar with the IP. At this point, don't bother. @PrimeVideo has needlessly turned so many fans into enemies. It's DOA.

[Brad Wright 🇨🇦 @bradtravelers]

Martin and his team were doing amazing work and I wish the world got to see it. I wish I got to see it, too.

[Jenny Stiven : Geek Joy! 😎🙌 @JennyStiven]

Joe frames this best.

I wish I could say I am shocked, but after four cycles of green lit, then cancelled, reboot opportunities, this feels like 2009, 2011, 2015, and 2020 all over again.

Frankly, it breaks my heart.
