Reviews'A stunning coffee table book that rather remarkably goes season by season and episode by episode. Full of intricate detail and a few surprises, this is, quite frankly, a book die-hard fans will treasure. It's also a reminder that even before the series became the pop phenomenon we know today, it was an imaginative, emotionally powerful tale of heroism, romance, and darkness' The Film Stage
