#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Some interesting conjecture about DSC and how well its actually doing. Not surprised loads of people cancelled their subscription though, once Discovery was finished. I'm told most of the other content CBS offers is mediocre at best.

Trent B 337 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I'm not surprised people cancelled their subscriptions either. To be fair for Discovery, most previous Trek series have had a not so stellar first season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittBash 282 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Well if they keep doing things like “resolving” the entire arc of the season in a 10 minute speech after spending literally hours playing in the mirror universe (which don’t get me wrong was a blast) I’d be killing my subscription too. Doesn’t matter how great the visuals and some characters are if they are going to blow all the tension in completely in satisfying ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 But why would you keep your subscription even if DSC would have been first rate? If the rest of the programs on offer by CBS All Access arent interesting (which I'm told it is the case) and the app blows? You need to have a lot of stuff to offer to keep subscribers hanging on, that's why Netflix is pouring countless millions into buying or creating content right now.

True but sometimes there’re are shows that are just worth it and keep you there like the grand tour for amazon prime or talkin toons on alpha. Not saying you don’t take what else is on the service into consideration but if you came there primarily for one thing and it makes it “worth it” to you it could keep me in the service longer. Heck when Netflix came to Canada there was next to nothing on it and I only kept it for a couple shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I think it was a mistake for CBS to put it online as an exclusive anyways. If it was on regular TV it would probably have done better. I read MANY posts when they announced that it would be an online exclusive only that people weren't going to add another subscription thing to see it. So I think that in itself brought ratings for the show down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Sure, but CBS All Access is probably the reason why CBS decided to make another Star Trek show at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fargo 297 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Don't know if this has been posted here anywhere, but I thought it was an interesting read from Austin Wintory and some of the demo music he wrote for ST: D. https://www.polygon.com/2018/2/22/17035498/star-trek-discovery-soundtrack-music-composition-cbs IMO it sounds better than what was actually used in the show.

Anyone else reckon the ship's crew on this show is the most neurotic bunch of twerps ever featured on Star Trek? Seriously, all that tall alien dude ever does is whinge and complain, that engineer bloke is a smart arse prick, and that snoring redheaded chick is a total weirdo. The only normal one is the lead girl, who seems to be the only one who'd fit in with old Trek. Oh and the engineer bloke and the doctor fella are doing some hanky panky? Well this really ain't your dad's Star Trek, huh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
