Ballyk and other stuff

I meant to spread out the three episodes on the Ballykissangel DVD that came today over the course of the day. Told myself I could stop after just one, go catch up on e-mail, etc. Spread the crack out just a bit.
Ha. Hahahaha. I suppose it was my own fault for clicking "Play All" instead of on individual episodes, but...OMG, you guys. This show is amazing. The first three episodes, most of its immense charm came from funny, quirky characters, but these three have not only that charm, but also really interesting, knotty conflicts, and, particularly in the last episode of the season, fantastic acting from the two leads that led to an emotional rollercoaster that was reminiscent of Farscape. FARSCAPE, PEOPLE. I don't make comparisons like that lightly. Said emotional rollercoaster perhaps did not have quite the towering highs (there were more chuckles than screaming laughter) or the depressing depths (there were also no tears), but it was definitely there, and oh my god, I think I'm in love.
The end of the third season is gonna hurt.
Um, I think I may have to watch all of these episodes again tonight. And screencap like whoa.

BTW, the theme is incredibly earwormy. It's just so jaunty! Now you, too, can get it stuck in your head for all eternity!
That site also contains the Vicar of Dibley theme, which is a choral setting of Psalm 23, and which is also stuck in my head. It's an interesting contrast.
