Amazon cancelled the new Stargate show. The rumor is that the show writer, Martin Gero, would not budge on compromising lore or elements within the show for a "wider modern audience" as they did with Rings of Power for LoTR lore. Martin Gero wanted to create a show that maintained continuity in the story and lore of the old shows, including the mythology and tech, while respecting the 17 seasons of history. Amazon instead wanted something new for the "modern audience" that's more accessible, reimagined, with more modern casual sensibilities. Because the showrunners wanted to maintain integrity rather than turn Stargate into another "modern audience slop" like Rings of Power, Amazon leadership canceled it. The franchise heavyweight, like Joseph Mallozzi, was very excited for the fresh stories Gero worked on. Amazon says they are still open to Stargate, just not "this" version... yes they wanted to Rings of Powerify Stargate. We really can't hate these people enough.

Are we seeing the start of a new era of lower budget, artistically creative moviemaking? I hope so, because the age of mega-budget corporate slop is dying fast.

it's legitimately insane that tv shows used to look this good







We meet again, my friend... 🦇










Sneak pic from #Outlander season 8. (It’s not, obviously) I just wanted to see what this Grok nonsense is all about.
