You'd think it wouldn't cost much to just keep hosting the shows that already exist on some streaming service but whatever, 🏴☠️ stay winning
There's more than just server hosting costs to consider. There's also any residuals to be paid to actors, plus the administration costs to figure out the residuals costs. I'm certain that some soulless beancounter(s) ran some numbers on it all, and couldn't provide a clear "hosting these will not lose money" case to some VP.
Also licensed music and some of these are existing IPs which surely require more payouts to use.
holographic Janeway teaches kids all about violating the Prime Directive and murdering Tuvix (because it's funny)
Really? I bounced off of it pretty hard, and I've found every other new series at least watchable. Did it get better after the first couple episodes?
I really liked the first few episodes, so idk how useful my review is, but I loved the whole thing except for
spoiler
the episode with the shenanigans at the spaceport on the icy planet and parts of the episode where Dal does some experimentation on his genetics
They tried to port the feel of Avatar the last airbender to the star trek universe and it was dope as fuck
I'm so fucking sad about this :/ wasn't production effectively complete with a planned release this summer?
The new season will complete post-production, and the studio will be looking for a new home for Star Trek: Prodigy as season one comes off the service shortly.
Fingers crossed we still see it, I guess.
Kids escaping a slave colony of sorts on a Federation Starship that they find. The starship has a Hologram Janeway that treats them as cadets and occasional hijinks ensue over a broader, more serious story.
It was way better than I expected it to be. dat_math is totally on the nose about the ATLA feel.
I think Star Wars has a similar show coming up. Skeleton Crew, I believe it's called.
Oh, word. Sadly, besides Andor, I think I'm checked out of Star Wars for the time being.
I might be too, but I'm not quite sure. I want to see Andor all the way through but I don't know how I feel about the franchise as a whole right now.
I just had a
kinda thought on all these already existing content deletions:Could this be
way of reintroducing time-based scarcity to video content?Like, "you'd better watch everything as soon as you can, instead of 'when you get around to it'" as a way to trick people into increased consumption patterns.
I assume the actual cause is just 0.01% increased share price for the next 15 minutes or something like that, but this was just a way that capitalism is probably going to make things worse I hadn't considered before, that seemed worth sharing.
Star Trek: Prodigy?
Damn, missed one.
I'm thinking of watching Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, at the very least.
It's because they made a woke show about the ladies of Grease. That movie was famously for the fellas and to not focus on Danny Zuko in the reboot shows that the producers were woke-pandering.
What the fuck!? All these are fucking canceled at Paramount+? That's bullshit. And why the hell are they taking a content write-down? Are they some kind of pussy-ass company that can't take risks? Fuck that shit. Canceling shows before they even have a chance to fucking breathe? That's fucking insane.
This just proves that capitalism is a huge fucking joke. The people in charge only care about money, not about giving people quality entertainment. Fuck Paramount+ and their corporate bullshit.
Looks like Paramount is going to need a 21st century Mae West to save them again.
