still,as uneven as i'm told 1840 is i'm glad to have new stuff to watch.
Fans shouldn't necessarily believe what others say about the individual storylines because we all love and dislike a whole assorted array of things when it comes to DS - and no two fans are completely alike. And truthfully, our differences are what makes discussion boards like this so much fun to take part in. But at the same time these boards can often give the impression that
everyone thinks this or that - though, of course, that's not true. For instance, Leviathans is many fans' least favorite DS storyline - while others rank it as one of their favorites.
So try to approach 1840/41 with a completely open mind and go for the ride. Others may perceive it as flawed (though one might ask what DS storyline is actually perfect?), but it also has some absolutely wonderful things going for it.
