I have never followed a show so closely, loved it at a basic "fandom" level, and yet it drove me to a good bit of research. All in all, this is my favorite show on television, in the past--now--or likely, the future. The relationships, the imaginations, the "soap opera" reappearances of those we thought gone. The nightmare hungry mouths of creatures who made baleen whales look gentle. Angels, demons, monsters, yet sometimes a level of good and compassion so strong that it is an inspiration to watch. The show has humanity. I love it.
