Fortunately, my one reason for still watching plays a character who can't die (at least, not until some time after the year Five Billion, apparently).
I know what you mean, though, I don't buy the whole Face of Boe thing, so I figure he was probably still out there even in the year 100 trillion.
I was so thrilled to find a show where I didn't have to worry about my favorite character being killed off for once (I've found being my favorite seemed to be a death sentence in most cases).
Honestly, with the possible exception of Tosh, I never had any emotional attachment to any of the others in the main cast, so they could've killed them all in EW and started with a new team in CoE and I'd have been just fine with it.
That said, I am not happy with the way they have treated Jack for pretty much the entire run of the show, but the things they did to him in CoE were inexcusable, so I really hope he fairs better in this series.
I feel better knowing Jane Espenson and others will be writing some of the episodes rather than it being all RTD this time.
I wish I could believe Gwen's head was on the proverbial chopping block, but I don't see that ever happening unless Eve decides to quit, so I'm hoping Jane and some of the other writers might actually be able to write her in a way that I don't cringe every time I see her (and I do like Eve Myles, so I wish I didn't have to dislike her character so much).
