    how many people then immediately jump to say that they’ll wait for season 2 (or 5, because god forbid it gets cancelled) before they watch?

    I never do that, and anyone who does is really overthinking how the TV box works. You just watch the shit if you think it’s interesting and you feel like it. There’s no “investment” there to worry about. If the show gets cancelled, then that sucks, but it was just a TV show. There are many others to move on to for your time wastage.

      Out of curiosity what do you feel when you finish a book?

      You just watch the shit if you think it’s interesting and you feel like it. There’s no “investment” there to worry about.

      There absolutely is an emotional investment in a show that I find interesting. If that show ends before it completes its story it does annoy me and is a drag on starting something new.
