I agree on the TMA show being far from crap. It's very rewatchable and incredibly quotable. I often wish he'd done the series, but I guess maybe he didn't enjoy doing it enough. Filming can kinda sap the fun outta what you're trying to capture if you'd prefer to just be present in doing it.

There is great reading in the booklet, too. Still gotta give the disk a spin tho.

In the booklet, I clocked one small error. I'm not sure where he got his translation of "Knocknarea" (Cnoic Na Rí) as meaning "Hill of the God", but it's actually "Hill of The King" (Rí = King). "Hill of the God" would something like "Cnoic an Dia" or "Cnoic na Dé"


Which is not to say that the King / Queen ("BanRÍon", or "Ladyking" Meabh) buried therein were not considered to be gods (they're very active in Irish mythology). It's just that the evidence isn't in the name.

I once lived on a road named after this mountain. Something was on fire every day, usually by small children with baseball bats.
