It's been enormously exciting to watch all the developments around KIC8462852 happen in real time. There's been some monumentally terrible "it must be aliens!!" style reporting around this, but I feel like the reporting and the messages coming from the scientists involved have been remarkably high quality. They've conveyed that they basically don't know what's going on, but that this is the most exciting part. Discovery! Anyways, I'm really pumped for the spectral analysis of whatever is occluding Tabby's star. Even if it's not aliens (I hope it's aliens), there will certainly be more unanswered questions and lots of interesting follow-up analysis.
