I watch for more reasons than shipping. And when I give up a show it’s for non-shipping reasons. When the storyline becomes so subpar or changes from what I fell in love with I do quit watching. I will be watching but skeptical about the rest of the season.
This! I’ll still be watching the rest of S3. Depending on how that turns out, I may or may not come back for S4. I currently feel like they’ve done an injustice to one of the core messages of the show, it’s no longer about having hope of second chances and happy endings IMO. Whether or not they can salvage that theme is what will dictate if I continue with the show. I can’t get the same enjoyment out of it if I no longer think the moral of the story can be trusted.
