I'm sorry you're leaving Brimfin, thanks for all your work with your " by the numbers". I've been keeping the scores for the B7 run, and have produced a few posts on the rankings etc, I know it's time consuming. So thanks again.
However,I must raise the topic of Star Cops, that you have left out of your list of shows.
It was a Sages project, and you produced the usual efficient " by the numbers", so why ignore it?
Perhaps you were swayed by Mad-Pac's ridiculous assertion that my marking for that show somehow skewed the overall result. Well my friend, I got my calculator out, and laboriously went through everyone's marks, everyone except me, that's right, I re-calculated the Star Cops average without my scores.
The result- 7.267, that's a difference of only 0.318. So without my scores Star Cops gets a third place in Sages shows. True it loses top spot, but third is respectable, and why SHOULD my votes be singled out? I feel almost picked on. Did Mad-Pac think that without my scores Star Cops would sink to a 5 or lower? Mathematics doesn't lie, of course remove anyone's score it'll alter the overall result. I assume Mad-Pac and maths don't go well together.
My scores did not have that great an effect. Too many others were enjoying the show for it to end up anything lower than a top three show.
Now , Blakes7, I said I've been keeping all the scores, so lets do some calculations.
Just using Season 1 scores only, which is as far as most have got to so far, the overall average is 7.65 , very high, top place in fact.
But now lets remove the diehards scores - my scores go, and Ant Mac and Doc Omega -all gone from our calculation .
The result 7.55 Oh my! Still in first place! ( excluding B7 and Star Cops all votes)
And now the coup de grace, using only the Blakes7 scores by Sages of the previous iteration i.e. Mad-Pac, Cloister56 and yourself Brimfin, the average is 7.428, OMG! Wasn't expecting that. B7 is still top, if included on your list.
Interesting thing here is that Mad -Pac gave good marks for the two episodes he ranked, 6+7, he even said things like, " interesting premise" and " it's fun"
Now, Catweazle; interesting figures here too. Myself and Doc, the diehards maybe, Doc has used letters to mark his reviews, so i've converted his marks to numbers, I've used the following; A+ only is 10, A is 9 ,B is 8, B- is 7 and C is 6.
So we have the average of all scores of every reviewer is 7.203 and without me and Doc 6.575. I'll say again, why should anyone's score not count?. So for a children's show, and a very British one, not bad average score.
To sum up;
"The Brits" as Mad-Pac called us, though Ant Mac and Gavin are Australian, but why should he let the facts get in the way of using a The Brits in a derogatory way, we Brits brought two well received shows to the table, we were a willing bunch of members, in my language that indicates The Sages were in good health. Nevertheless it came crashing down. Why?
Answer - He obviously feels having our British shows as Sages projects, with more to come probably, is so horrendous that he'd rather dissolve a group that meant a lot to him, oh well, it's his prerogative of course, no one should endure the unendurable.
UPDATE - Myself and Cloister 56 will continue with The Omega Factor as a Sages project. If you want to find us the trail starts there.
