You will see an option to change subtitles from Irish to English or no subtitles if you prefer (near the right corner beside the expand screen button). The option you pick goes purple - GA for Gaeilge in the screenshot above. Subtitles can be changed when the episode is playing, or when it is stopped, What I do is cast the laptop to my telly, and watch it with Irish subtitles. However, I noticed Irish subtitles are not put up until about a day, after it has been aired on TG4. I might go back over it again later if there are phrases or bits I found interesting. Similar to the way those RnR watchers do in the above video. Plus, I have an excel sheet of words and phrases, I make note of the odd time.

I wonder when Michael will find out he is the dad, and how poor Saoirse dies. Also I thought Tom and Owen got together at some point but now Owen has gone off to Australia. Maybe that happened already and I missed it. I only started watching from Season 2.

Really added to the realism for the character. Plus many characters spoke lines of English here and there. Far more realistic as that is what they do in Gaeltacht. I remember Des Bishop saying that they did not use the word 'rothar' for bike. It was mo mbicycle. And 'anraith' was not soup. It was simply soup. In my opinion, the show has lost something by using all Irish where possible. The comedy and little subtleties seemed to be better back in the old shows. Like the interactions between the brothers Collie and Séamus, were top quality comedy value. Fond of each other but annoying each other at the same time. Mack was hated because he stalked Ali became infatuated with her broke in a number of times (made a key for the lock he put in) and overdosed on pills. Also he was hanging around drinking and generally causing trouble. Constantly having to be bailed out by his Garda father. Mack's character was a lost one. Having his mother died when he was young and went wild. The fella who acts as Mack (Pól Ó Gríofa) has questioned in the past whether a character would change that much. Plus seemed to imply that the character is not as much fun to play.

I thought who will Maire make cupcakes with now? There better be a big showdown at dawn between Andy and Niall. Because I would be disappointed if there is not after this build up.
