We only have a few rules here … one of them is “be nice to each other.” So knock this off.

Both of you were reported; both were given the same message.

To mark the fifteenth anniversary of BSG's finale, I have published "Colonies of Kobol - Collection: Special Edition"

A couple of years after the end of the reimagined series, I wrote and self-published the https://ety3rd.com/lords-of-kobol series of books. People seemed to like it quite a bit, so I spent years working on Colonies of Kobol to bridge the gap between them and the TV shows. Three massive volumes were published last year, but...

If anyone is interested in the math of this, meaning, what you get out of it for what you put in, here’s my way of thinking.

I look at new MST3K in the vein of RiffTrax. Not beholden to a network and therefore not getting production funding either, so they have to directly charge for their output.

In the case of RiffTrax, they charge about $12 for a full-length HD VOD release and about $2 for a short. Carting those numbers over to this campaign, let’s see what we get.

*If the lowest goal is reached …*That’s 6 episodes and 6 shorts for a total of $84. (There’s also the “enhanced” older episodes, but as those won’t be available for download, I’m ignoring them for the moment.)

*If the middle goal is reached …*That’s 9 episodes and 9 shorts; a total of $126.

*If the top goal is reached …*12 episodes, 12 shorts; $168.

*Which goal will be reached?*Who can say? The season 13 Kickstarter finished with $6.5 million. That’s over the middle goal but shy of the top goal by almost a million. I think reaching the middle goal is very likely with the top being a bit of squeaker. (Just my thoughts.)

*Conclusion?*Donating at the $85 level is simply a bargain. You get each of the episodes and shorts as a download, PLUS access to the Gizmoplex which – I’m hoping – will include a ton of livestreaming events and those were a highlight of season 13 for me. (Oh yeah, and all those “surgically enhanced” episodes, too.)

Thank you.

Edit: I’ve edited the post (I nearly forgot I could do that here!).

PRODIGY's cancellation may have been the tip of the iceberg: Paramount as We Know It Has 2 Years Left, at Most — Analyst (www.indiewire.com)

That article speculates that elements of Paramount (including CBS Studios, which produces Trek these days) could be sold off to other companies, perhaps even Netflix. This, however, doesn't get into the hairy discussion surrounding rights to the franchise.
