The thing is - your franchise's built in audience is the first and only guaranteed audience. So you have to go & expand from there. MARVEL studios road to success was taking their heroes (Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America,...) - and being really, really faithful to the core identity (!) of them...

I'm currently having to reject some recommendations that I've previously rejected. I'm also getting pushed a lot of stuff that's in languages such as Turkish and Korean of which I have no knowledge. It almost feels like YouTube wants me to cancel my subscription.

Once The Partidge Family was canceled in 1974 a lot of music-driven character shows disappeared. After the end of the '60s and the conclusion of Vietnam and Watergate the cultural atmosphere in America changed and things got more cynical and a lot less bright and peppy. Star Wars reversed a...

Because comfort is more important than consistency

...mind. And i want them to succeed. Maybe i have 'positivity bias'. I went into S31 with an open mind, and okay, it wasn't great. I have raised my expectations of SFA after seeing the positive buzz. I don't get why people want a show they claim to love, Trek, to fail , and call for its...

50 Years Ago This Week January 11 Ecuador's President, General Guillermo Rodriguez Lara, resigned from office after five days of political violence in the South American nation, and was replaced by a three-man military junta. January 12 The United Nations Security Council voted, 11 to 1...

I'm holding off on giving a take until the fifth episode. I want to see something first. Then I'll give my take on the first five episodes in one go. That's my plan. Plus, regardless of wherever I end up landing, I don't feel like dealing with the muck every week. Been there, done that.

It's effectively like running a government with the mentality you only need 25% of the vote, call an election, then get gobsmacked that you need to win over near 50%. Your average critic is going to be a generalist. Their target audience just isn't the existing Star Trek fanbase, and they have...

For what it's worth, most of the gushing reviews that I've seen have started off with, "I was really dreading watching this show..."

I feel genuinely bad writing this. It's not a bash, nor will it ever turn into a bash. It's just self-awareness.... But, after watching the trailers, reading articles, etc. I feel as though this is the first Star Trek production in franchise history that simply isn't for me. Even LD, which it...

Yes, you're right, pity... so I guess we're just doomed, DOOOOOOOOMED DOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED! ;)

nope. They're only continuing the DDR4 production for a contract they have no way out of and it's server memory. So being server memory it will be registered ECC which isn't supported on consumer platforms. Those that do support DDR4 ecc (i3, Ryzen Pro) use unregistred. the also article...

Both describe the same situation? Disney spent hundreds of millions of dollars on both. Both seemingly were intended to be ongoing series, yet were canceled. Failure is usually evident by an absence of success. SFA is launched with a built in two season commitment. Short of post-production on...

So by "failed out of the gate" you meant "not renewed on a cliffhanger"? :shrug:

Both were canceled on cliffhangers and became high profile failures. Long story short, it's reasonable to compare SFA with other streaming shows in potentially similar situations... Andor is worth it fwiw

Or outright canceled them like The Owl House (but at least it was able to end on its own terms). Even then, showrunner Dana Terrace had to fight an uphill battle from the beginning. Oh, yes, very much so. People have been pointing that out ever since a certain governor's stupid war against...

I think the show ironically would have been worst without him. He I think clearly knows Star Wars in and out better than Headland. Like I said. He doesn't deserve much if any blame for the shows failure. I like the guy.

It’s looking like it’s less a comment on the shows themselves and more the contraction of the streaming bubble. IIRC, it was outright stated that Discovery was getting too expensive to continue producing.

After Disco and Lower Decks were cancelled after S5, they really should've planned for a maximum of five seasons.

“Prematurely” as in the show runners were not aware that CBS/Paramount were going to cancel their shows, and had to quickly change things around in their final episodes at the last minute because of that.
