figuring out about when sanders sides should end with ~math~ woo

hey! so recently joan made a post saying that sanders sides will end with “season” 3, and that while the show is not close to being over, they intend to try and pick up the pace with the rate that content is being uploaded. 

so i wanted to do the math and see (if the length of season 3 and the time between uploads is consistent) when about sanders sides should end! note this this probably is gonna be very inaccurate (lots of assumptions have to be made), and we won’t actually know when the show will end until it actually does, but i like math and thought this would be fun to do! hope you enjoy! :D

Okay, so the first thing is to figure out about how long season 3 might be! This part is kind of difficult because we don’t have much data to work with; season 2 isn't even over yet. However, I’m going to assume that ‘nearing’ probably means only 2-5 more episodes. I’m going to just say 3 because it feels like a safe middle ground, and it gives room for a two parter + another normal episode. So, that would mean that season two would have 15 episodes in total, and we can also assume season 3 will probably have a similar number of episodes. And since season 1 has 17 episodes, let’s say that season 3 will have sixteen episodes. 

Okay, next thing on the list: how long will it be between episodes? 

We need to keep in mind two factors:

     1. How long the episodes in season 3 are

     2. How long does it take the team to create and post an episode based on how long it is

For the first one, I’m going to assume that they’re all going to be pretty long. The last few Sanders Sides have consistently gotten longer and longer, and for simplicity sake let’s say the team wouldn’t go over an hour an episode, so let’s say that most of the episodes in season 3 will be around the length of LNTAO, SVS and DWIT. Again, a lot of what I’m saying here is probably wrong, but these are the conclusions that I have to draw without getting too complicated. 

Second, I did the math *cough* I used a website *cough*, and found the time between EP - SVS and SVS - DWIT. 

EP - SVS

SVS - DWIT

These numbers are pretty close, surprisingly! Oh, and I’m not going to use the time between DWIT and SVSR because Joan mentioned that they want to pick up the pace with episodes, and I doubt that we’ll have to wait almost a year for the next episode. I’m also not counting the length between CTH and LNTAO because it took longer to create LNTAO for various reasons (they were originally going to do the puppeteering themselves, but later on decided to hire someone else to do it).

SO! The mean of 98 and 87 is 92.5, so about 3 months. So now we have about how long it should be between episodes!

I know that having two numbers (98 and 87) probably isn’t enough to be very accurate, but again, we’ll have to draw some conclusions here (I doubt all of the episodes will come out in 3 months; we all know that at least one episode will be late by like 10 months, lol). Also I’m lazy. 

SO!! Finally, we can figure out about when Sanders Sides will end! 

16 episodes times 3 months is 48 months, and 48 months is 4 years, so we can conclude that Sanders Sides will end sometime in 2024!

Which is… actually as not as disappointing as I thought it would be, lol. Sander Sides hasn’t even been going on for 4 years yet, so we still have a while before it’s over! Yay! :D

But… yeah, I just did all of this because I was bored. :P

Have a great day! :D
