For better or worse, I have several friends who were new viewers of TW and loved CoE. (Cause I told them they should watch it).
Why - they have no attachment to the characters. They have nothing to compare it to. So for them, it is a stand-a-lone. They don't know about Owen and Tosh so for them one dead character who had no emotional depth means nothing to them.
Will they watch the new series? The answer I hear most often is, well probably, but I'm not going to sit around for 18-24 months and think about it. (or buy the books, merchandise, etc). If I hear about it when it comes back, I'll probably check it out.
To them, its just an action/sci-fi show. A lot don't care if Captain Jack comes back or not. Or Gwen. Or any of the other characters. The Hub? What's that. Weevils, what's that? Cardiff, where's that?
