A PEEK BEHIND THE CURTAIN at Amazon and why they are their treating STARGATE fans with apathy... #SaveStargate Nick Cage recently did a Spider-Noir interview where he talked about what he had to go through to get his streaming show green lit be Jen Salke stepped down as head of Amazon MGM studios. He and a bunch of Amazon decision makers went to dinner at her house, and he had to overwhelmingly convince her that younger audiences would watch. He wanted to do it in Black and White, but offered color as an option as well so the kids could watch it in color then come over to Black and white. I mean. How many multi verse Spiderman fans are there... yes, mostly an older audience. Even Nick Cage had to get on his knees at the alter of the "younger audience." Star Trek (Paramount), Star Wars (Disney) Stargate (Amazon) ALL TOTALLY OBSESSED with younger audience retention even as a Cash Loss Falicy... meaning they don't care if they lose money if it means in 5 to 10 years they have captured the next generation. BUT WHY? Because Netflix and Apple are kicking their asses. Sure Amazon has a ton of money, but they don't have Netflix eyeballs. Netflix dominates 15 to 35 ages. And have you wondered why APPLE doesn't seem to care. They just keep making great television that the older PAYING audiences are drawn to? Because they already OWN the youth through iPhones, and they aren't worried about the future. They can afford to wait for younger audiences who will never leave their devices and Apple IDs to catch up with great streaming. Amazon and other studios hell bent on chasing the youth at the expense of current paying audiences will lose. See Paramount and Disney for references. The paying fans are here and now @AmazonMGMStudio and we want Stargate with Martin Gero. Make the right decision. Don't sacrifice the now for the future when you can let us lead the youth to you!

The Stargate fandom isn't asking for a reboot. We're asking for the series that was already greenlit. @AmazonMGMStudio @PrimeVideo #SaveStargate

Do NOT mess with fandom. It’s a double-edged sword. Do right by fans, and they’ll follow you to the ends of the Earth. But betray them, and they will cut you!

Letter for #saveStargate, mailing tomorrow. Encourage everyone to act. Some are mailing kleenex, making videos, funding air support... You do you. Every constructive thing you do now is worth 1000 things after @AmazonMGMStudio starts doubling down. A stitch in time saves nine.

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.

@NHL fix your game, this is ridiculous this was called offside. Didn't have any impact on what actually happened for the play as was not an immediate shot. It's exhausting to see this continual nonsense for microseconds of time imperceptiable without technology.

If you want to be anal about it, digitally enforce it on the ice instantly during the game, have a light go on in the arena for the linesman to see. Otherwise, if it isn't immediately put on the net, in the chain of assists, then the frame of time doesn't impact the play. Intent!
