I'm just watching it every week, really enjoying most of it and thinking my thoughts.
Which is probably the best way to go about it, to be honest. I think that online fandom often over thinks things and has a tendency to such the joy out them, even when it has the opposite intentions.
That said, I've been enjoying fandom and reading people's commentary more this series than I have for awhile. I think that the lack of any polarizing shifts have left the ground open for more interesting conversation on the merits and less good points of each episode, and it's refreshing for everyone (at least in my neck of lj at the moment, *knocks on wood*) to be so friendly and YKINMK but that's okay even when opinions don't match up.
