I reserve the right to inspect online attention to Drive, and comment on it. If you don't agree, feel free to chip in and debate. If people feel the need to continue to use the thread to bash me, don't.

Net buzz, of course, doesn't always translate to something working (or, indeed, selling). It does, however, give an indication in interest, and is monitored by media companies and/or 3rd parties. I'm not trying to chop Drive down (there would be a great degree of humour in that for many reasons were it the case).

I wasn't bashing you, Kevin. But there isn't actually anything to debate. I'm saying your worry isn't actually valid, which should cause you great joy.

It doesn't cause me great joy, because I disagree with your opinion on the issue being discussed, Allyson.

I think you're confusing opinion with fact. Unless I'm misunderstanding your point.

Allyson, just because you believe something is true, does not make it fact. Drive's lack of online activity is a fact. If that can be translated or observed for useful purposes is up for debate.

For what it's worth, I agree with your overall point, Allyson. The 'Chicken Little' crack isn't blunt though, it's name calling. It's not all that harsh where name calling is considered. It just seems beneath our usual level of discourse, here.

If anyone's keeping tabs, I agree with Allyson. The initial post felt like searching for a reason to be negative on TV's hit Drive, to be honest.

AND IN OTHER NEWS:

I've posted those promos I was discussing earlier. If they're reposted/mentioned elsewhere, please remember where you got the goods from. I can't stop people from taking my content, so I'll settle for being constantly validated via proper citations.

Gut feeling from what I've seen so far is that it isn't standing out to people.

This is what I'm disputing, Kevin. In case I'm unclear. Drive's lack of online activity (whatever that means, seriously) has nothing actually to do with the American public's interest in the series. The American public is fucking HUGE.

You say yourself here:

But I think we all know that online buzz isn't always a good indicater of offline interest.

And then follow with:

Gut feeling from what I've seen so far is that it isn't standing out to people. But I'd love to be wrong.

But then there's:

Net buzz, of course, doesn't always translate to something working (or, indeed, selling). It does, however, give an indication in interest

But the thing is, it only gives an indictation of what people on the net, in a particularly small corner of the net, are interested in.

Your gut feeling isn't a fact, Kevin. It's a gut feeling. Based on very little data, which you yourself are disputing.

Your gut feeling isn't a fact, Kevin. It's a gut feeling. Based on very little data, which you yourself are disputing.

I've never said it's a fact, Allyson.

I should be able to offer an opinion on something, and not be a) called names for having an opinion b) be told your opinion is fact and c) that I should effectively shut up.

I'm not searching for a reason to negative on Drive. I'm search for a clue about the interest level.

Thanks for the promos, Monique. Alex stalling the car is great.
