Amazon execs were concerned that Gero’s take on the series would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise’s already dedicated fanbase.

Translation from executive speak: “We couldn’t make it suck so we’re not gonna make it at all”

We can't have shit in this world >:(

Gero, just say you'll put AI in it or something

God dammit.

Good. Forever culture is arse anyway. Let things end.

Amazon owns some really good franchises, but they just can’t seem to produce any decent content from them.

I really just want a final season of SGU

Dang. I remember seeing a clip on YouTube of a video chat with some of the SG-1 creators seeming genuinely excited about this.

TV execs are idiots.

Disappointed, but not surprised.

One of the few Sci-Fi's I liked, not sure whether to be disappointed or glad they aren't ruining it.

Hopefully they still do Mass Effect.

All the money needs to go to the launchpad repair I suppose

I hate this planet

Ffs

Fuck it, somebody render fanfic with AI.

I find that I am less and less willing to invest enthusiasm in American productions as they don’t get enough commitment from their streamers to make it worth it.

Apple seems to be make two season commitments for most shows, but generally they are following the self-destructive pattern of Syfy. There’s only so many times one can be burned.

Ahh the 'ol show writing by focus group approach.

Man, ngl, I thought having Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich associated with this project was absolutely bizarre, given that their movies and books bore only a passing resemblance to the juggernaut that Stargate became and they were reportedly not happy with the direction it took.

I like Joe Malozzi a lot, but I was not convinced he had a lot of say in things.

I can't say I'm unhappy about this imploding. I was pretty sure it was going to suck. I hope they manage to get it off the ground with someone who truly gives a shit, but I have no idea who that might be. Henry Cavill? If only.

Bummer. Hope someone else picks it up.
