We get almost everything with subtitles in here, which I'm really, really happy about. Oh those poor German people, I have an X-phile friend there, and she is so sick of the dubbing that she has gotten someone to tape her the episodes in English somewhere.

I once had to watch a Pretender episode dubbed in German, and I have never been closer to killing myself. ;-) Of course sometimes they screw up with the subtitles too, I just rewatched Rain King today to be able to talk about it here, and in the beginning (this is not a spoiler, is it?) a lady signs her valentine's day card with xoxo (which means hugs and kisses, right?) and in the subtitles they had apparently thought it was her *last name*! Oh, those crazy people! I've actually heard there's a bunch of websites out there that are nitpicking all the mistakes the translators have made. It's as much fun as it's annoying, but at least we get to hear the original voices at the same!

Cookie of the week.
