oh my gosh...thanks so much for this! for one thing, it's just dead-on. and it sounds weird, but I don't know...it just makes it a little more bearable when it's explained, laid out like this. that it makes some sort of tragic, awful, dramatic-irony-spilling-out-the-sides sense (a defined sense of tragedy, yes - that's it). analysis makes it a little less soul-crushing.

just a little.

and ohh, the acting, ESPECIALLY in the last scene, just kills me. lucy and armitage are really too wonderful for words.
