How can the CW get so many things so wrong, but get this so right?

That's...rhetorical.

The story lines are bound and respectful of the lead's bonds with her family and others. Nothing is over-blown or exaggerated in that respect. There's some Science Fiction-slash-Fantasy under the guise of Ancient Asian Mysticism, which as a Western white person I'm attracted to. And, there's some Martial Art's styled action (fight) sequences! Remember, it's a television budget, so don't expect the, "wire work," to be flawless. But, then again, People aren't flying about as much as in, "Crouching Tiger."

As much as I'm drawn to Science Fiction and Fantasy, it's the character development and emotional bonds that create the emotional pay-offs for me. Through this show I've gotten so many...moments..blocks of time filled with emotion -- where I've felt comfortable letting them sink in, so, deeply felt emotion. Better than that, of course, is that it's lead to plenty of, what? "Moments?" of that divine state of feeling emotionally charged with no particular emotional response tied to it. And, during those periods the different emotions the story brings up, like brilliant notes played across a keyboard are so much sweeter, and exquisite.

It is the, "Dopamine-ergic," brain-state I'd previously become accustomed to while watching the animated series', "Naruto," and, "Naruto Shippuden," that will keep me coming back for more. And, isn't that what we all want in good television, a foil against we express our humanity and connection to others?
