Whew... First thing of the top of my Head.... I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight, given the adrenaline rush. While I do have the ability to imurse myself in whatever I'm reading (kinda like Mac, only not quite as good as he is) Courtship grabbed me by the throat and drug me along on a breakneck rollercoaster ride that didn't let up even at the end. I, for one, totally missed the small hints earlier, so while Devon's revalation caught me by surprise, it wasn't that much of a surprise. Something along the lines of "He's a Teep? Ok, so that's why he's on the 'watch' list." Of course, that list really is a case of the shadow's agents keeping an eye on Kaitlin's known associates... Something along the lines of Know thine enemy's, and his kids, and their Friends, and their Friends kids.... See the infamous "Evil Overlord" List. You NEVER want to leave ANY of the hero's line intact. It WILL come back to destroy you. ^_^

And indeed, with Xeria's (or however the darn name is spelled) final scene, the second I read it it was "OH >BLEEP<"

I'd have to disagree with one thought, Gryph. You might not have thought that anything earth-shattering was going on during spring break, at least as far as Utena and the whole Save Cephiro thing, but I think that these events are at least as imprtant to what is going on (and the gathering shadows) as the 'alleged' 'main' storyline (assumed) of AoN and Corwin help Utena save Cephiro.

The overal levels of plots within plots within plots also seemed so... right, especially since it was for the most part set on Gamilon. Now, I kept on missing episodes when US aired it as Star Blazers, but I saw enough to know that there was more to Gamilon, and Gamilons, that met the eye.
