The already greenlit, already pitched, already being written Stargate series just got the plug pulled by Amazon before it ever had a chance. WTF?!
Their reasoning? It wouldn't appeal to a broader audience. Showrunner Joseph Mallozi and former Stargate actor Michael Shanks have both voiced disagreement on that reasoning saying the show was specifically written to have a broad appeal and bring in new viewers. Michael Shanks has called for fans to speak up and let Amazon know what a mistake they made. To sign the petition and contact Amazon to tell them.
Here's the link to the petition:
