[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 439996, member: 8"] It's tempting to think that fans can support a series or whatever product into existence, or that they have the ability to make a series better. I've contributed to several Dynasty threads about imaginary "upgrading" stories and whatnot, but only for the fun of it. Because I like those crazy characters. Realistically speaking, television has never been anything like this. And I [I]don't want[/I] it to be good just because I want it, it has to happen unexpectedly and unconditionally. All my favourite series are the entertainment I didn't know I wanted until it happened. If that's not meant to be for current Doctor Who then all we can do is wait and hope for the best. Just like I [I]always[/I] had to wait for the next episodes of Dynasty, Falcon Crest, Howards' Way etc etc. And always so relieved and over the moon when they came back. But there has to be a genuine desire to produce the episodes from the creators point of view, not the fans. We're not part of it (no matter how social media makes it feel). we're not responsible for anything and we can't take credit for anything (unless a story is based on something fanmade, that's cool).
