Spoilers General Disco Chat Thread

Parrot Analytics is an unreliable source.
They count every tweet and every YouTube video with its views/comments as a "demand expression" for a particular property. They don't take into account if it's positive or negative.
Parrot Analytics don't disclose how they are limiting counting "demand expression" for a particular show within a bigger franchise. Do they count everything "Star Trek" related as a demand expression for STD?
Star Trek Online is especially difficult. Star Trek Online has STD content. There are days where Star Trek Online lore/gameplay videos on YouTube have more views than STD videos. Do Star Trek Online videos on YouTube, the views and comments, count as a "demand expression" for STD?

Has the Inceldom of YouTube tried to frame these figures as being down to their negative videos?
 
Star Trek Online has such a small market footprint that any impact it might have falls well within the margin of error.
I was going to say, I follow a number of gamer YT channels and STO doesn't pop up very often. Anecdotal but still it's not content I see having a big impact.
 
You may as well say that the Mandalorian is only that high because they're talking about the new Star Wars games or comics or whatever (I don't like Star Wars anymore, so fuck knows).

I mean, Star Wars YT traffic is huge in comparison to Trek, in terms of comics, books, speculation, technology, and news. So, I don't think it is quite a fair comparison. Especially with Star Wars Squadrons being recently released.
 
I've already explained all this before, go look it up. You're incorrect, It's a very reliable source and their methodology is listed.

Now, aside from that... Even if I were to take your comment seriously (and I don't), since when were Neilson's based on how many liked or disliked an episode!!?? Are you telling me tng had 10 million viewers but only 7 million counted because 30% hated it?? See how dumb that sounds? That never happens.

RAMA

CBSAA kills it in streaming. 9 million subs for CBSAA and 72% increase year over year thanks to Trek.

I would assume location shooting is going to scaled way down for all TV.

I can't believe it's easy to authorize travel (especially across borders) for something as big as a series crew.
 
I'm going to guess you know how this season ties into "Calypso".
I do get some inside info, but in this case, no, it just means Covid caused them to invest in an AR wall for simulating location work. Sad, but the tech is actually very good.

Well if that other show on Disney can use one for good effect why not? AR walls are very cool tech.

I must admit to dark thoughts when the computer was all chirpy and said "come to the shuttlebay for a surprise" I was half expecting she'd lower the forcefield and they'd all be spaced.
