Retrospective Discussions: Take a break or press on? (startrek.website)

The streaming licenses for Doctor Who (2005) have expired everywhere outside the UK, which is a bit of a buzzkill.

With that in mind, do we want to continue with the weekly discussions, or take a break?

I've genuinely enjoyed revisiting these episodes with the couple of regular commenters and one-off visitors, but I understand that continuing might be a pain in the ass for some.

It looks like I may be able to acquire the DVDs from my local library, so I'm good to continue if the interest is still there.

If we can't make it work right now, that's fine too - hopefully, there will be a new streaming arrangement in September.

What do you think?

I'm in the UK, and I don't see it expiring on the iplayer any time soon, so I'm up for continuing them. But if there's not any critical mass of others watching along, it might make sense to put it on break, at least until someone else picks the rights up.

All right, I've acquired the box set, so I think we'll try to at least finish out the season and re-evaluate at that point.
