icepixieMcKay and Mrs. Miller
Best moment of the whole episode: Sam saying, "You both just said 'sorry' in that cute Canadian way" to McKay and his sister. (Particularly as "sorry" is AT's biggest Canadian giveaway!)
Although it is closely followed by everything relating to Rodney's real first name. *g*
Is the cafeteria set new? I like it a lot.
Why is there a BSG promo using bad rock music? Ow.

Dear Ballyk Season Three Writers:
There is something that goes by the name of "wallowing in your misery." You are making the characters you write do this very thing. Stop it. Now. Surely not everything can go that horribly wrong for so many of your characters all at the same time, can it? This is ridiculous.
Also, having the singer at the pub contest thingy sing "Love Is Teasin'" ("Forgive me, love, if I forsook you, / I was mistaken, I never knew") while panning back and forth gratuitiously between Peter and Assumpta is DIRTY POOL. You should be ashamed of yourselves. (Actually, you should really be ashamed of yourselves for the terrible use of flashbacks in that episode, but that's another issue altogether.)
No love, but dammit, I'm going to watch this season to the bitter end anyway becauseI'm obviously insane I know there's at least a bit of payoff somewhere,

P.S. You used to be subtle. WHY ARE YOU LONGER SUBTLE??? You are becoming anvilicious like Russell T. Davies!
P.P.S. This was supposed to be the show that would disprove the rule borne of my fairly extensive observation of irish stories/Lit, i.e. that any story inevitably becomes depressing by the end. I'VE ONLY LAUGHED ONCE OR TWICE WHILE WATCHING EACH OF THE EPISODES ON THIS DISC! YOU USED TO BE FUNNY!!
P.P.P.S. The incidental music, though, is excellent, especially the violin parts. Is there a soundtrack?
ETA: P.P.P.P.S. Okay, I finished watching "Lost Sheep," and I partially take back the lack of subtlety comment. That one was actually quite subtle. So much so that I might not have gotten the message had I not been spoiled for it. You done good.

In other news, I am currently loving Vanity Fair. Although the plot is completely disimilar, it's like if Persuasion focused on Louisa Musgrove, aka the only interesting character in the whole book, instead of the oh-so-perfect Anne Elliot. It even has an Anne sort of character in Amelia, but Thackeray continually takes pot-shots at her. I love it. Okay, Becky Sharpe may be on her way to a complete lack of morals, but as of page 45, I'm in love.
