I don't think the kind of stuff that would make the show more popular (forced relationships, character angst, etc) is the kind of stuff I want to see it in. So, personally, I'd rather they stick to their guns and deliver the best 3 seasons of sci-fi TV ever, filled with military, politics, physics, and characters that are fumbling their way in a universe much bigger than them.

This is what ruined halt and catch fire for me, way too much sex and personal dram forced in. Does it ever help them get the demographic they're chasing? If people wanted light erotic I can imagine some better backdrops than the creation of the 486.

Off topic but Halt and Catch Fire season three was my favorite yet. There is some drama that the characters mostly bring on themselves (Can and Joe) but after watching some episodes of the show Suits (Scandal has the same issue) the drama in Halt and Catch Fire is barely noticeable.
