Response from Joseph Mallozzi, writer and producer on multiple Stargate series https://x.com/BaronDestructo/status/2062286728095052128
Well this is a hastily cobbled together shit-take of conjecture and misdirection.
The author starts by misreading a grassroots marketing launch as a statement of exclusive intent. Come on. Announcing a series TO a fandom alongside its community leaders is standard PR; it's not proof that the show was designed exclusively FOR fandom. In fact, it was made clear from the start that, first and foremost, the series would function as an accessible entry point for new viewers...while still respecting canon. And, by the way, “Respecting canon” does not mean “requiring new viewers to be familiar with 350+ hours of existing Stargate programming” as this article implies.
The author proceeds to support their point by launching into fan fiction: "No plot details were revealed about the scrapped show, but I can easily imagine…” And they certainly do. What follows is a parade of clichés, a generic legacy-sequel checklist that the author has conjured up from nothing and pinned to the new show as predictive evidence.
Then comes the claim that Starfleet: Academy failed because the showrunners: "focused too much on paying tribute to the series' past.” Uh, wut? Yes, Starfleet: Academy did receive a fair amount of criticism, but strict adherence to canon wasn't on the list of grievances. This reads like a comment from someone who likely never even watched the show, much less perused the fan response.
They state: "Rebooting the cannon also would let the new Stargate showrunner bring back the Goa'uld, the franchise's most iconic villains…” No, it wouldn’t. Know why? Because the goa’uld... ARE CANON!!!!
The article concludes with a disconnected meditation on an old Stargate storyline with no relation to either the new show or the author’s own argument.
I want to say it was written by A.I., but surely A.I. would display more logical consistency than this.

What they should have done is set things into the future
Part of the appeal of Stargate was that it was current day people trying to manage in a universe full of advanced aliens.
Biggest problem with not rebooting is you can't start over like the movie & SG-1 did where they had guns against energy weapons but have to deal with us having advanced spaceships.
The show's lore doesn't make sense to just bury the Stargate as we and the aliens have spaceships and Earth was almost conquered by Apophis because someone tried to shit the program down.
It will, later. They apparently didn't like that this one was trying to be faithful to the originals and appeal primarily to the SG audience instead of the "modern audience".
I mean the evidence in regards to this project. You can't dismiss THIS PROJECT as that, if anything it was cancelled because they weren't doing the same thing all the other Hollywood IP projects are.
It was cancelled by Amazon for not targeting the "modern audience" enough, that seems hard to ignore.
And how many of the people involved with that were also involved in this Stargate show? Oh, literally fucking zero?
Scrubs came back and look at how that worked out- it was pretty good!
Y'all are writing this off like it was guaranteed to be woke slop when the evidence we have actually points to the opposite.
This guy worked on the OG shows, it had the potential to be good.
This one had some good potential- it wasn't a reboot and the guy behind it worked on all the OG TV shows.
That said he did work on the woke Quantum Leap but I was excited to see this might actually be good. The fact they, the people who greenlit 5 seasons of Rings of Power, cancelled it would hint it was.

Omar Alghabra, who has been appointed to the new Ministerial Advisory Council on Rights, Equality, and Inclusion to combat #antisemitism, was the one-time president of the Canadian Arab Federation, which lost federal funding for supporting terrorist groups.
I can't be bothered to read posts by lazy bums

I’m actually pretty pissed at how badly they’ve bungled America 250. First they tried to invite Milli Vanilli and a bunch of other absurdly washed up geriatric one hit wonders. Then when that didn’t work they decided to convert the event into a Trump rally where Trump will talk about himself for 90 minutes. This should have been a massive, raucous celebration of the country and its 250 year history. Now it will be a political rally identical to the ten million other ones we’ve already seen.
This is one of Trump's worst ideas ever, anyone but the biggest Trump simp has to see how pathetic, narcissistic and awful this idea is.
If Kamala was POTUS it would be the "Sorry For Stealing Your Land and Slavery 250 Apology & Grovelling Session" and it would be no music, just 10 hrs of bad black women slam poetry and speeches talking about how evil white men and America are.
I still can't believe that a grown ass man, of his own free will, made a series called "Pop Culture Detective". It would be cringe & embarrassing if he was 14.
He still whooping Anita in viewers?
Britain just paid off the debt (they incurred buying every slave in the empire) within the last ten years.
FAKE NEWS, YOU RACIST BIGOT! It was actually in 2015, just over 10 years.
That's not a great line, especially during a high profile murder trial.
I'm not confusing anything. The claim was "during Brock Lesnar's first run with WWE he was squashing main event stars like John Cena" but during Brock Lesnar's first run Cena wasn't a main event star. Cena's 1st WM match, where won his 1st title (US over Big Show), was Lesnar's last match of his 1st run. Cena was just starting to get over with his rap gimmick ("That's a nice tattoo of your mother on your back") during his 1st program with Brock, they were squashes but not over a main event Cena.
Brock didn't squash main event Cena until his post-UFC return, he actually lost to Cena his 1st match back in 2012- it wasn't until Summerslam 2014 when he had his 1st win over main event Cena which was a squash. Orton also wasn't a main event guy in Lesnar's 1st run, Lesnar didn't actually squash any main event guys his 1st run though he beat Rock, Hogan, Taker, Angle etc they were competitive matches.
That's admitting you use the word a LOT if you can't recall if you said it in that instance and makes you seem dishonest which would have the jury not trust your testimony.
Lying under oath is much worse than admitting you said a no-no word.
These are the type of men the BBC shows sympathy to.
He squashed Cena when Cena was a nobody, then again after he'd already been a UFC champ. He never squashed the other 2. You should have mentioned Goldberg beating Lesnar on his return, but they had already fought a competitive match at WM 20 and it was to setup return matches, neither woman seem to want to fight each other.
Rousey is already over as a big star and has beaten girls quickly before, that wasn't even her fastest fight. There would be no reason to fake this fight in this way.
Rhonda was the favorite to win, and I think most would have bet she'd win in less than a minute- so that doesn't seem like a reason for Gina to throw it that quickly.
Plus she was paid a ton of money for the fight, why risk it for a little more?
Oh they did that too https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/1ASsiXnCIa/last-night-canadian-senators-qui/c/
