Amazon Has Axed Its New Stargate Series

The new Quantum Leap was terrible and most of the new Star Trek shows were equally as bad.

Maybe this is a good thing.

ls612•1h ago
The new Expanse was good though.
seer•15m ago
Sad they didn’t finish it. The later books seemed like they were written “to be movies/series” with less political stuff and more visuals / speculative sci-fi. Plus the story has an actual half decent conclusion.

To me the plight of Hollywood is “forever shows” where the writers start without knowing where it would end, so shows never really “end” they just slowly fizzle out without ever getting to the end.

I simply loved “the good place” for having such a powerful conclusion.

rgblambda•3m ago
I'm currently reading the first book that takes place after the conclusion of the show. There's a large time jump and I suspect they didn't want to age up the actors for 3 seasons.
Dig1t•1h ago
Not to mention what Amazon did the Lord of the Rings. It is probably a good thing.
observationist•58m ago
Hopefully we hit that mythical "hollywood level audio/video" AI before too much longer and really creative people can run pirate series.
thedanbob•53m ago
When I first heard about the reboot all I could think of was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HeNZBItzps

I'm going to call this news a win.

randallsquared•30m ago
It wasn't a reboot, but a continuation. That doesn't mean it would have been good, of course (cf Universe), but better than a reboot.
OutOfHere•55m ago
If you haven't seen Stargate SG-1, it was one of the greatest shows. I would rather rewatch it than watch a bad remake. Stargate Atlantis was not half bad either.

They will likely hire the cheapest script writer, who in turn will likely offload it to the cheapest LLM, resulting in derivative work that is not in any way creative or inspiring.

HDThoreaun•54m ago
Yea I watched stargate SG-1 and can confirm that plenty of media released post covid is not only half as great, but a good deal better.
OutOfHere•52m ago
Like what (in sci-fi)? Not counting the Star Wars series, the last independent good scifi show that I recall was The Expanse, the majority of which was pre-Covid. In fairness, Foundation is okay.
HDThoreaun•37m ago
It's funny you mention the expanse because I find it similar to the stargate show. Solid, but in no way extraordinary. Now, I agree sci-fi especially TV has been a bit rough recently, but that's mostly because its not popular so there isnt much made, not anything to do with ability to make it.

Still, there have been sci fi masterpieces released recently. Dune being the most obvious. Not an original story but a far more worthy production than stargate sg-1. Everything everywhere all at once was also more compelling than stargate imo but this might be where your anti woke complaints come in. Nope also fits this bill, but fine you dont have to love that. There are still examples which have no wokeness at all as far as I can tell. I found the foundation show to be similar quality to stargate sg-1, perhaps a bit worse I guess but in no way definitively worse. Topically I found project hail mary to be good enough, certainly no worse than stargate.

le-mark•53m ago
> the studio were concerned that Gero’s take on the series “would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise’s already dedicated fanbase.” This is a key component in reviving a legacy IP

It was popular because of who? The fans! No one needed the Disney-ization of Stargate. This is probably a good thing.

iammiles•51m ago
The framing here gives some good insight into other controversial Amazon adaptations.
rgblambda•11m ago
As bummed as I am by this news, I kinda understand the logic. The fan base likely didn't make up the majority of viewing figures when SG-1 and it's spin-offs were on the air. Otherwise, it would have been revived much sooner after their big bet on direct to DVD movies didn't pan out.
ojkelly•47m ago
For those who don’t know (which seems to be the entire comment section at the moment), the new show is/was not a remake, they intended to follow on from the existing series.

I was pretty optimistic after watching the announcement [0] that this would be a decent show.

Here’s hoping they’ve developed it enough that they can shop it around.

lucisferre•39m ago
Given the IP situation, is shopping it around even on the table?
randallsquared•34m ago
Joseph Mallozzi says it's not, and he was involved with the new series development. I suppose Amazon is making enough from the concept that they aren't interested in selling it.
p1necone•22m ago
How would they make anything from it if they aren't going to make the show?
daemin•14m ago
They aren't going to make _this_ show, they might make another show in the future, one catering to a broader (non-core-fan) audience.

losvedir•16m ago
Oh no! This is how I found out they cancelled it.
fmajid•7m ago
TBH, it was a train wreck apart from the actresses who played Moiraine and Lanfear.
chicagobob•46m ago
That's a bummer. I literally started my latest rewatch because of this news.
spicymaki•22m ago
Good! Did you really need more Stargate? Just watch the classic movie, and 200+ episodes of SG-1 and then 100+ episodes of Atlantis. Let these franchises rest.
singingtoday•19m ago
I want more. Yes, I'm greedy.
relyks•18m ago
All the fans want more and a continuation of the story.
calmbonsai•15m ago
You are not alone. That 'verse has so much to explore and so many possible pathways and plot-lines yet requited. We know nothing about the Furlings.

your beloved franchises vill be re-imagined for ze modern audience und there's nothing you can do about it.

Amazon? I'm sure Macgyver would've had to be a woman. And make her gay.
hdndjsbbs•13m ago
Oh no, a sci-fi series making a character a woman? Like that famous train wreck Battlestar Galactica?
relyks•19m ago
Why do they even make announcements that they're going into production and then casually cancel the show? Do they not know they are completely toying with the emotions of fans? Giving false hope is worse than no hope.
calmbonsai•18m ago
We didn't want a "fresh perspective" on Stargate. We just wanted more classic Stargate.

Not at all related, "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy". ;)

rayiner•17m ago
Yup.
readthenotes1•20m ago
I think most people here are talking about the Stargate SG-1 TV series and not the movie.
HDThoreaun•17m ago
As am I. If the take is just that sci fi movies dont count and only 22 episode seasons count as "real" sci fi we can have that conversation too. It's a valid take that I absolutely disagree with. But that's not how I read the original comment(which has now been edited to remove the woke part)
singingtoday•17m ago
SG1 is a masterpiece and one of the greatest pieces of fiction created.
HDThoreaun•16m ago
Aesthetics are subjective after all
Sebguer•53m ago
"modern wokeness", ah, yes. Because the show about religion as a means of control, that featured strong women throughout, was broadly about how colonialism is bad and the importance of respecting different cultures, that brute force was almost never the 'right answer' is anti-woke.
OutOfHere•50m ago
For example, look at all the recent Star Trek series; they have been an abomination, and are rightfully canceled.
jghn•48m ago
I’ve seen those shows and still don’t know what you mean. Since you didn’t mean the other stuff you’ll need to be more explicit
jfengel•41m ago
Ah, yes. That great anti-woke series Star Trek.
Kye•36m ago
State, don't insinuate.
Kye•45m ago
Many classic scenes like the P90 demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjlCVW_ouL8

Or Carter's literal first scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi4lt-17OxE

And so on

randallsquared•26m ago
I'm on season 6 of a rewatch with family right now, and I will say that one of the things I had not remembered was just how much of the time brute force IS the right answer in this show.
readthenotes1•22m ago
"Modern woke' would have Samantha Carter be be a quadriplegic trans person of color in a complicated polycule whose father was killed by American forces and one of the many overseas illegal activities. Sam is just so smart, though, they have to give zher clearance (and at least one of the episodes will be about respecting pronouns)
rayiner•12m ago
Your post is so close to connecting the dots to realize that, when people complain about “woke” shows today, it’s not because they feature “strong women.”
Possibly it continues to stream frequently enough to be considered a contributor to Prime Video? Not sure if you can stream it other places, but if so, those fees would be continued revenue that might disappear if the reaction to a new show is poor.
Izikiel43•28m ago
> From the existing series

Which one? Universe? Atlantis? SG1?

saurik•27m ago
All of those are from the same continuity. (The show was not to be a remake/reboot, but also was not to be like, another season of one of the existing shows. I do wish they would just figure out how to finish Stargate: Universe... they even likely-purposefully left the plot/characters in a state where they could actually do the next season now, even after all this time, and even if some of the actors can't or won't be involved anymore.)
singingtoday•19m ago
And all had at least crossover. Such a fantastic franchise.
