The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Do some of you have a threshold where you'll quit or keep going? I'm so far into The Walking Dead there is no way I can quit now, but with Under the Dome or Wayward Pines, I quit after a few episodes and felt ok with my decision. I'm on the fence with The Strain, Tyrant, and Last Ship. If I finish second seasons of any of those then I guess I'm in.
Also, Falling Skies is another I didn't give up before the end of the second season. Thank God this season is the last of that one.
nope, i quit dexter part way through the final season, and shameless after several seasons (gave it up during whichever was the last season). also skipped the final season of true blood.

I don't have anything specific. It's just a matter of contemplating how confident you are in the people making the show. For example, I watched many seasons of TWD before giving up, and I haven't looked back since, because by the time I quit I had precisely zero faith in the writers/directors/showrunners to do anything interesting or unexpected. Same goes for The Strain after watching a full season. It eats up a lot of time to watch a series; I'm not gonna waste that commitment on something that is not good and offers no further hope of ever becoming good.
I wanted to quit TWD a million times and for some reason I never did. I hate all things zombie. Last season was the first one I liked so I guess it was worth it?
I watched Dexter till the end. I have no idea why other than I really like Michael C. Hall and I was always hoping for a season that could match the Trinity year. There was probably a bit of hate-watching at the end.
Also, Wayward Pines was such a disappointment. You did the right thing giving up that one, Ruddo. And I had no idea it was going to be a regular series. I thought it was a one-off mini-series. So imagine my fucking goddamn surprise when season one ended with a bullshit cliff hanger that sets up a second run of episodes.
