[Another Castle]

Today, the 3rd of May, besides being my birthday, is also the day last year when the final five episodes were aired (although I think they must have all been finished sometime in mid-2008, and the first three were shown in different parts of the world earlier)- neither the less we can say that is the day the show ended!
To mark this, I thought I'd talk about this, the very first piece of Fosters!

I was never into the show back in 2004, but about a year ago I decided to watch this in it's entirety, and I was blown away! Even today I still rate it as my favorite and everything about this fits perfectly together. We meet all the characters, see the house (which seems more mysterious), learn the premise of IF, a great villain (& Terrance at his most intimidating), and all loose ends are tied up

Although it hasn't really aged at all (expect for perhaps the Game Boy Advance in Mac's bedroom), it is of course notably different from later episodes, in terms of voices, pacing and animation (the first season & a few episodes form the 2nd have this, what I call the old Fosters feel)
