I enjoyed this episode and have loved the series in general.
Considering it has taken you a bit longer than planed to complete all 52 Masters may I encourage you to get a jump start on the sequel 75 Masters. I look forward to the upcoming episodes. Maybe you can have a special episode with Sensei Lawerence from the Cobra Ki Dojo,
