This is by far the most ambitious comic analysis project I've ever attempted, and the truth is I'll probably never finish it. But I'm going to give it a try anyway. This is my favourite superhero show of all time and it saddens me how often people dismiss it without crediting its accuracy to the comics. I figured the only way to do the series justice would be to analyse every single episode individually. So that's what I'm going to do – all 87 episodes spanning four seasons. This is an insanely huge task, and like I say, I'll probably never finish it. But I thought I'd just add to it every now and then and see how it goes. Hopefully I'll at least be able to analyse the first two seasons. I actually started working on this two years ago, so this first installment will be a fairly substantial one to get things moving.
Some episodes won't feature any comic references beyond the basic setup and recurring characters. Obviously I won't be able to comment on those. But the plots of most episodes – particularly in seasons one and two – usually have some basis in a story, character or concept adapted from the comics.
As always, if anyone else wants to add something I've missed then please do. But I would request that you only comment on the episodes I've already analysed, as I really want to do the whole thing in chronological order. I'd prefer not to leap ahead to later episodes or seasons until I work my way up to them.
