Rest in peace, Anthony Stewart Head 🕊️. Here’s a clip of him as Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer performing a cover of Behind Blue Eyes by The Who. A beautiful performance that fans will never forget. 💙
As part of the ongoing campaign to restore @martingero as Stargate showrunner and let him fulfill his vision, I preset you with a little animation I did, along with the original Stargate music. #Stargate@AmazonMGMStudio@amazon@PrimeVideo
Anthony Stewart Head brought Rupert Giles to life with a rare mix of intellect, quiet humor, and steady compassion. The kind of presence that made monsters feel manageable and growing up feel a little less alone. Rest in peace 🖤 #RIP
"They canceled it because it would appeal to Stargate fans" AND THAT WASN'T ENOUGH.
The Stargate cancelation is a full mask off moment for modern TV, and this is why everyone should care.
It's indicative of why all of our series keep getting screwed up.
You may or may not care about Stargate.
But you should know that a new show was in development and Amazon canceled it because it would appeal to Stargate Fans.
This is how all the big studios feel about your favorite franchise, btw.
I am starting to resign myself to the idea that the quality sci-fi TV we had in the 1990s and early 2000s, multiple excellent shows of Stargate and Star Trek, plus Babylon 5, etc. is not coming back for a while.
The entertainment industry is almost completely captured by cultural Marxism. The guiding philosophy behind most entertainment products now is deconstruction and inversion of everything that is good, true or beautiful.
Years of DEI-based hiring has put activists and ideologues in charge where artists should be working.
The new people see their job not as producing art, or at least decent entertainment, but ideological re-education. They fancy themselves to be on the right side of history. They are true believers, and they are not standing down, even now.
I do believe that the pendulum is already swinging back hard, from the civilization-destroying toxicity, racism and nihilism of the culturally dominant Marxist left. But for now, the Marxist left is not dead, not by a long shot. It is barely in hibernation.
The movement is currently counting on a Democrat winning the White House in 2028. They expect to recapture political power, and then finish what Obama/Biden started. They think that their final victory remains just around the corner.
The attitudes of the entertainment industry reflect that. The industry is not course-correcting after the disastrous failure of wokified former money-printing franchises like Star Trek, Star Wars or Lord of the Rings; it is doubling down. Products are made for a "modern audience" that does not exist, but that people in charge are hoping to create.
This is Henry's older sister, Olivia Nowak
She called her brother her "best friend" and said they had "an unbreakable bond" in a statement following his death
Pray for her
@LBC No, James, it's because poor Henry told the police multiple times that he had been stabbed and couldn't breathe, yet they ignored him and handcuffed him regardless because of the false allegations of racism against him.
