*** ~~I've only seen the 1st (~~double-length) episode ~~so far, but I'm already considering it schedule-worthy --maxb~~

*** Starts powerfully, with a very interesting double-length episode 1. Then proceeds to spend episodes 2 through 12 in one long flashback. Episode 13 finally returns to the present and then leaps forward to years after. It's a good story, but I feel slightly cheated by the chosen format. --maxb

*** Now five episodes in~~, I still rate this very highly~~. ~~--maxb~~

*** With two episodes left to ~~go, we are still in~~ the ~~continuous flashback that began with episode 2~~. It's ~~still~~ a good ~~series in itself~~, ~~through perhaps~~ I~~'m a little disappointed that it doesn't look like we're getting to see much (any?) of~~ the ~~continuation of episode 1~~. ~~Or maybe there will be a S2?~~ --maxb

* GATE (24)

** The pacing of the initial few episodes was a bit slow. However, it really got enjoyable after that, and as we move into the second cour, it's really showing promise. Also, intrigue. Explosions. Dragons. The most hilarious military character ever. I think it's a candidate. --maxb
