In a word" "Wow."

Stargate fans continue to amaze.  It's been two weeks since the show's cancellation was announced and they’re still as energized and active as ever, lighting up social media with their love for the franchise.

And I keep being asked: Will it make a difference? My answer is "Yes" and "Don't know"...

It reminds me of when Dark Matter was cancelled back in 2017 and the fan backlash was so intense that Syfy reportedly called an emergency meeting to discuss damage control.  They considered making a public statement to quell the fan furor but, ultimately, elected to remain silent.  And, eventually, the storm subsided.  

Eventually.  

But this time…this feels different.  The Dark Matter fandom was small but organized and very angry.  The Stargate fandom, on the other hand, is remarkably large, incredibly well organized, and - if the last two weeks are any indication - possibly even angrier.

I'm on the outside on this so I can't tell you what The Powers That Be are thinking but based on pure conjecture...

Have they noticed the fan response? Oh, safe to assume they have definitely noticed.

Have they been surprised by the scale and ferocity of the fan response? I'm going to assume yes. The fan pushback has been worldwide and intense.

Are they thinking "If we could harness this type of fan engagement to help launch a new show, it would be a huge asset!"? Again, given the sustained enthusiasm and global reach - I'm sure it has crossed their minds.

Are they thinking "Fandom passion can be a double-edged sword. I wonder if there have been examples of other genre shows whose performances have suffered due to intense fan response?" This one's a little trickier. The data scrapers and algorithms monitor vocal/negative sentiment, but how much weight executive leadership places on analogous data is always up for debate.

But will it all make a difference in the end? So far, yes, it has already made a difference, for many of the reasons outlined above.

So will it make a difference for the future of Stargate? I honestly don't know. From a marketing standpoint, this is a public relations coup waiting to happen. Acknowledge that the fans made a difference - and recognize that the excitement they've shown over the past two weeks won't stop at a relaunch. It will carry every episode. They've proven this series is theirs, and they won't let it fail. They will be the core of the new Stargate, a core that will only grow as they introduce the series to friends, family, and complete strangers, just as they have always done.

But that's just me. In the end, I'm just the guy who helps create the world, the words, the characters on the page. I'm the one who helps bring them to life with an amazing cast and crew so that you can visit with them and make them a part of your lives. I'm not the guy making the decisions.

One thing seems certain: the execs have taken notice. Now we'll see what they do with that knowledge.

A PEEK BEHIND THE CURTAIN at Amazon and why they are their treating STARGATE fans with apathy... #SaveStargate

Nick Cage recently did a Spider-Noir interview where he talked about what he had to go through to get his streaming show green lit be Jen Salke stepped down as head of Amazon MGM studios. He and a bunch of Amazon decision makers went to dinner at her house, and he had to overwhelmingly convince her that younger audiences would watch.

He wanted to do it in Black and White, but offered color as an option as well so the kids could watch it in color then come over to Black and white. I mean. How many multi verse Spiderman fans are there... yes, mostly an older audience. Even Nick Cage had to get on his knees at the alter of the "younger audience."

Star Trek (Paramount), Star Wars (Disney) Stargate (Amazon) ALL TOTALLY OBSESSED with younger audience retention even as a Cash Loss Falicy... meaning they don't care if they lose money if it means in 5 to 10 years they have captured the next generation.

BUT WHY?

Because Netflix and Apple are kicking their asses. Sure Amazon has a ton of money, but they don't have Netflix eyeballs. Netflix dominates 15 to 35 ages. And have you wondered why APPLE doesn't seem to care. They just keep making great television that the older PAYING audiences are drawn to? Because they already OWN the youth through iPhones, and they aren't worried about the future. They can afford to wait for younger audiences who will never leave their devices and Apple IDs to catch up with great streaming.

Amazon and other studios hell bent on chasing the youth at the expense of current paying audiences will lose. See Paramount and Disney for references. The paying fans are here and now @AmazonMGMStudio and we want Stargate with Martin Gero. Make the right decision. Don't sacrifice the now for the future when you can let us lead the youth to you!

@teamcocoforlife You’re welcome!!❤️

[Josh @Pop_My_Culture @SithCareBear]

@TheCriticalDri1 Agreed. It was a bit long and the gags definitely kept some moments from really hitting like they could have. Hopefully we get a sequel that’s more in line with the opening act of the movie with a harder edged adventure. Don’t eradicate the humor. Just time it better.
