I've recently used Hulu to revisit an animated series that I really enjoyed as a kid: The Mysterious Cities of Gold. I enjoyed it a lot, both out of nostalgia and because it's quite well done. Kim has laughed a bit at how long it took, though: the series is 39 half-hour episodes long.
It struck me that it would be easier to share with others if there were an abridged version: a subset of episodes just long enough to convey the broad feel of the show. So I took notes while watching and wrote a guide to essential episodes of The Mysterious Cities of Gold. I've included a brief introduction to the series and some of my thoughts on it as well. If you remember the show fondly, or if the summary there peaks your interest, have a look!
Was it silly to spend time on this? Of course. But it wasn't all at once, and I enjoyed the process of putting it together. If someone else eventually appreciates it too, so much the better.
