One thing that becomes an interesting device is how many episodes are structured around the story of a ballet -- Giselle, Copellia, and, finally, Swan Lake. The DVD extras include a short explanation of the major musical themes for each episode.

So far I think we've only seen Giselle, although that one would have been hard to miss; if you didn't recognize the plot, the characters explicitly identified it. (Coppélia scared the living bejeezus out of me as a child. Thanks a lot, Hoffmann.) I knew I should be more familiar with ballet.

One more month till the final DVD comes out -- one more month.

How many episodes are there in total?
