I actually got started on the second season (this tends to be a thing with me--I get started on a sequel, be it Ben 10 Alien Force, Power Rangers in Space, or whatever), so I was really shocked when I went back and watched season one and saw how different in tone it was. I've begun reading the comics, but since they've been hard to find (and for time issues), I've mostly only been reading since New Power. And then I facepalm going, "Wait, Matt doesn't make any sense!" even if it is kinda cool.
Phobos--he's a great concept. Not such a great overlord. Quite a few of my facepalm moments when I went back and watched season one for the first time were how bad his plans could be. Wait until the Book of Secrets.
About Caleb and the matter of consistency--it's mostly a thing with me that the more I like a show, the more I tend to tear it apart. It's because I hold it to a high standard, and I'll expect them to try a little harder, even if I love it. And about Hay Lin and the "scared of you!" comment, that line is a bit of a running gag between me, Shaun Garin, and Gil Grissom from CSI.
I'm really going to do a lot of focus on Cornelia's development as it comes. She's definitely a tough character, and the more I watch, the more I start to see how things are playing inside her head. Which is why I'm glad that for this series, I've got the benefit of having seen it all the way through before reviewing it, so I can track the progress (my model here is mostly Linkara's History of the Power Rangers, especially his analysis of Bulk and Skull from the original through Power Rangers in Space--I'm a complete dork, by the way). Doing an endpoint analysis on this many main characters would probably hurt me.
