further Wagnerian thoughts
Lack of sleep has caught up with both spouse and myself, so minimal Ring-watching last night and tonight. However:
1. Siegfried looks way too much like Theoden in the PJ LOTR. And Hagen looks eerily like one of the guys from our folk dance group.
2. Spouse: Okay, I'm confused. How did Brunhilde get the ring?
Castiron: Alberich made it; Wotan took it from Alberich; Wotan was forced to give it to Fasolt; Fafner killed Fasolt and took it from him; Siegfried killed Fafner and took it from him; Siegfried voluntarily gave it to Brunhilde, so Siegfried's Bilbo and Brunhilde's Frodo.
Spouse: Brunhilde's a lot cuter than Frodo.
3. Castiron: It looks like a zombie horse.
Spouse: That would be different.
Castiron: At least it won't mess up the stage.
Spouse: Unless pieces fall off.
Castiron: Do zombie horses eat human brains or horse brains?
4. Castiron: Hey, if Alberich's last name were Daz, then his son would be Hagen Daz!
5. Many imitations of Anna Russell's "She's his aunt, by the way."
Castiron: Ew. She's his aunt on both sides. That's even worse.
Spouse: It's Star Wars! "Siegfried, I *am* your aunt."

Not staying up till one to watch till the end, but overall, we've enjoyed the performances enough that I've got the DVD on my wishlist.
