“Twenty years ago, my first real job in television was as a Story Editor on ‘Stargate: Atlantis,'” Gero said. “I spent five years at the franchise working across all three series, ‘Stargate’ taught me everything about making television — it’s written into my DNA.
Leaving aside the stupid DNA analogy, looking up where he lines up with Stargate production has him joining for at best the last two seasons, after Richard Dean Anderson had stopped even phoning it in and left completely. I don't see viewing numbers, but I suspect most people would regard this as the whimpering end of the show they liked.
As for Atlantis, it already had woke casting. Science fiction TV, with an audience overwhelmingly white and male, depicting scientists, explorers, and soldiers, roles also dominated by white men, and of the seven people put on the poster for the show on IMDB, there are two women and two blacks, including the overall commander. Who are these people there for? Not the fans and not to represent reality.
I look forward to a sequel with a single white male who only exists to be inferior to everyone else. Maybe half the episodes will be a hard hitting, never before written "Why is this evil alien race cruelly discriminating against their noble, peace-loving, brilliantly intelligent sub-population? DO YOU SPOT THE SUBTLE SUBTEXT FROM OUR SUBTLE WRITERS?"
Stargate Atlantis was an early woke prototype for when an established franchise gets hijacked by wokelings.
Pretty sure that it almost got cancelled as well, but was saved when the showrunners injected some desperately needed action-packed testosterone into the show's formula with Momoa.
Ronon was great in SGA. They had to write in, and even show, his arm tattoo being done because he got it during a season break and didn't told the producers beforehand.

Atlantis had Jason Mamoa before he got muscles. If they get Jason Mamoa they're going to get viewers.

The way he played his character in Fast X had me giggling.
Gave me Last Action Hero vibes - the villain that knows he's in a film and plays everything up.
