No.
But, real life demands more and ten is far easier to keep up on. I don't see the sense in wishing for more that I won't have time to watch.
Now that the strike is over, whither Season 3?

I'm 64 going on 65, so no.
Fair enough. I have no idea of the demands on your time but conceptually 10 episodes still isn't enough, especially when we have to wait so long for the next season. I'm sure the actors love it because it gives them time to do other things.
I don't have that much time either, in fact I'm way behind on both SNW and LD. But still I agree that 10 is a little too few for my tastes, especially with more episodic shows. 10 is good for strictly serialized shows, but for more episodic ones I'd prefer 13-15.
For you. Not for everybody. I want more episodes. I know I'm not going to get more though. That's a shame.
Are you just arguing with me for the sake of arguing?
Have you never heard someone use the expression "it's a shame" to express dissatisfaction? That's all I mean here. It's a shame (for me and others who feel similarly) that they have decided 10 episodes is the limit for a season. I want more.
I have heard it; it makes zero sense as an expression.
I don't blame you for wanting more. It's enjoyable and makes sense to want more. But, in my experience, increasing the output does not mean an increase in satisfaction. While 10 seems short, it means easier time keeping up, less feeling left out, more time to enjoy what I did like.
Similarly, decreasing output does not mean an increase in satisfaction, in my experience of course.
I can, and do, enjoy the 10 shows we get while still lamenting the fact that they won't make more.

Oh no, I grew up in the generation where television was expected to do twenty plus episodes a season. And you know what? Watching twenty episodes a season is exhausting. Ten is far more palatable.
We could look at is this way. With ten episodes per season TOS lasted eight seasons.
Sounds like TrekBBS discussion is serious business
Maybe you should lighten the eff up.

I'm perfectly fine. Thank you for your concern.
