Just dropping by to say that your rewatch has intrigued me enough to start watching this show! I'm excited to be starting a series that has a bunch of seasons to plough through.

Oh, that's wonderful to hear! The person who encouraged me most to do this never showed up for these, so it's felt like whistling in the dark a little bit except for my two co-watch cohorts. I find the first seasons to go quickly--they're only 13 episodes, and they are really exciting so it's hard to leave off and wait till next week to watch them, I find. Unfortunately, right now we're doing my least favorite, but there are still times where I have to see what happens next. And also fortunately, they get things back a bit for the last season, which helps take the bad taste of S5 away.
