Let's hope there's 21 episodes this time around. I want to sit and watch more than 10 episodes i'm done with after a weekend and then have to wait a year plus for more. Also hate all the time skips and sub-plots that were never finished (edited for time?) due to it being a short season.
This is really a big deal for you isn't it?... unfortunately I think you'll be disappointed. 8-10 episodes seem to be the new norm.
I hope not. Not everyone lives in the UK. Some of us prefer a fleshed out season that is far more binge worthy than one that's over and done in literally two days. Then a year plus wait.
I went through it with Firefly, the Stargate: Universe (although the latter had more episodes, at least) so I'd hate to get used to something that's over and done as fast as it started. Anyone getting into Netflix originals had to deal with that as well. Soon as you start enjoying it, it's over and forgotten, on to the next show.
These later generations of people really do have short attention spans. Can anyone really imagine Deep Space Nine, or even Babylon 5 being as enjoyable with 9-10 episodes per season, spanning 5 or 7 seasons? they'd have to lose 50-70% the story arc, and time skip too often to be useful.
Why are all new series just turning into mini-series?

It's definitely a change that has been affecting more and more shows over the years. It works sometimes, maybe even many times, but there are plenty of shows that can still benefit from a more episodic approach that was more popular not that long ago.
