Well, for me my hopes and dissapointments have just come to a head over the last few episodes. Starting with Abzorbaloff which I quite enjoyed, but made me realise how much I disliked the Doctor and Rose, and the olympic one.
I did stop watching the original Doctor Who during the McCoy years, just as I stopped reading 2000AD during the nineties. And I will stop watching this series when I see it's not going to change. Which will probably be Christmas or early next series (as I think change is inevitable around this time, and I'm hoping for the better), but I am going to finish this one.
Like many people I suspect, the desire for it to be good, rather than how good it really is, is what has actually been keeping me going. If this was Andromeda or some lame American show, it would probably have been ditched after a couple of episodes.
Thanks for the advice though :p I do agree with you, life is too short, if it wasn't Doctor Who and I wasn't so weak I'd go do something else.
