I'm kinda the same OP. Never really loyal to one showrunner of the modern Who era. They've all done stuff I liked and stuff I hated.

But, maybe my memory isn't great, but I'm really shocked how well this is being received despite my "he's ok" stance. In the end I seem to recall that everyone was itching for him to leave? There was a lot of discussions that amounted to him outstaying his welcome. Idk, it just feels like either short-term nostalgia is a hell of a drug or the fandom is about to experience another be careful what you wish for when he inevitably brings up Rose (or something else they don't like) again.

I doubt fandom has anything to do with it at all. While they did have ratings spikes post RTD, consistent viewership was best under his run and the figures from streaming services heavily favour his era. Merchandise for Ten still sells the best (there was never much for Nine but what there is still sells well) and license payers have been increasingly vocal about wanting him back. DW is no longer funded exclusively from license fees; it’s now funded by a mixture of in house funds and the money from the global arm that includes international distribution as well as all merchandising. Its a unique situation with a unique problem now that international viewership is down even lower than than the dismal BBC transmission figures. From a business standpoint they could either cancel and lose billions or bring back the only successful showrunner they’ve had and hope they can extend the run at least long enough to avoid a loss, which is a projected timeframe of 36 months beyond current contracts.
