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.

I have a #Babylon5 related archive request.

If anyone has any info on the Society of Digital Artists, their old https://t.co/K3y2Fbua18 website, or the reporter Renee Dunlop, reach out, or have them reach out to me?

Looking for a March 2007 3-part article about THE LOST TALES

Random Q: are there book people out there who might be interested in old World Fantasy Convention programs?

I have the programs for 2003, 2004 (30th anniv), 2005 & 2006, plus the 2004 2-disc highlights DVD.

I have not seen anything similar on eBay, so I have zero references.

So, someone just sent us a very angry email, upset that Syfy Channel is running a Harry Potter movie marathon for the 512th time this year.

It's been a LONG time since someone's ranted at us about Syfy Channel programming, thinking we were Syfy Channel.

"It's not my fault!" 🤣

Review: @louishowley admires the masterful portrayal of the conflicts behind the weather predictions that would determine when Allied forces would launch D-Day, and clashes over whether it should be June 5th or June 6th 1944

He gives is 3.5 out of 5 stars

Time to get the X-Men back to the 90s.

One thing I appreciated were some of the scenes in this trailer that are definitely callbacks to scenes from the old SciFi Channel miniseries, "Steven Spielberg's TAKEN".

Talk about a forgotten series that would make an awesome 25th anniversary 4K restoration release next year.
