Just finished this series and I loved it. The intricate and ultimately epic plot was the highlight for me. At times it did feel a little rushed, but not so much as to hinder my enjoyment of it. I personally think it would have been easy to stretch this series out to 52 episodes or more. I see so many places they could have expanded on things that were just briefly mentioned. It wouldn't have flown by at the quick pace of this series, but I don't think it would have made it too slow, either.
