Lets get our X tons of Duranium back!

....Is that still a valid thing to jingoistically blow out of proportion?


There's no way a random actor would be allowed to make The Big Announcement instead of some Amazon/Alcon official....


Right?

Right. At best he'll affirm there's hope.

On the other hand nobody actually knows anything about Alcon officials and Cas Anvar has been the organizing force behind a lot of the fan push, so.. who knows.

I'm keeping my hopes extra low though.

He said he spoke to syfy and alcon and he's basically begging people to watch the show live on Syfy to boost the ratings. I think that's it.

This is pretty much "watch the show live and hope Syfy changes their mind." So Amazon didn't pick it up (yet?)

Yeah he's basically just begging people to try and boost/game the live ratings because Syfy made vague noises about miracles if 5 million viewers suddenly turn up so probably :rip:

Aren't we at the point where some cable providers are sending viewing info back up the chain? It's obviously not as official as Neilsen but I think it still moves the bar?

Buy a bunch of TV's and ghost-watch the show to boost ratings. Set your DVR on repeat while you're at work. Set up a botnet to give expanse more views.

The Expanse is number 2 in ratings on Syfy. So this is pretty much Syfy whining because it doesn't make enough money.

Yeah it's not like the Expanse was losing money, it's just that it was a high budget prestige show which wouldn't make as much profit as Ancient Sharknado Ghost Wrestling 13 would.

Cas Anvar's pep talk started cool but he didn't really say anything new or hopeful, and then half way through the sound cut off. everyone kept repeating NO SOUND in the comments, but Cas never noticed, and then views plummeted and then he finished the video lol nice morale booster :rip:

Can’t wait for Syfy to replace this with a Wishmaster show starring Clint Howard.

Ugh. That wasn't very helpful Cas.
Love the guy, but "Watch the show on the crappy channel that canned it and (maybe) continue the status quo!" is not terribly inspiring to me. Especially considering the international audience can't do that anyway. (...because of the status quo)

SyFy ditched their #2 show in overall ratings because they don't understand how modern Tv watching works. Haha, they are too dumb to live.

E: Hinting at some sort of crowdfunding campaign made me go all despondent. :(
You guys don't need to crowdfund for money to make your show, you need to get on a distribution model that actually serves the people who want to watch it in a timely manner. gently caress.

Whatever, Cas Anvar may be somewhat in the loop, but I'm not going into full hopelessness until Thursday or so. Going to wait for the higher-ups to crush my spirits.

Some of them, the big stuff is scheduled for later in the week/month and the prop guys swear it's super easy to rebuild it all. It's a Rorschach Test: read into it whatever you want. :shrug:

Don't forget these corporations can be extremely petty too. Refusing to give up rights even though they have no intention of using them, being pointlessly obstructionist, and just being lovely as hell. There might be money and will to find a new home for the show, but the existing distribution structure is a bit of a mish-mash which might complicate things.
