  • My english comprehension just took a turn for the worse

    I finally saw Firefly in the proper order. But I had a real hard time understand what the hell they were saying. I don´t know if it´s the mostly texan (?) accents or that they mumble when they speak (or a bad audio rip), but I had to watch with subtitles to understand. And I always thought my english comprehension was top notch. I haven´t had this much trouble since I watched the unsubbed episodes of The Young Ones...

        TV show. Cross between sci-fy and "western." Sorta odd. edit: and yes, occasionally they throw in a word or two that is supposed to be Chinese or a derivative thereof. They also have a couple of completely made up words to get around not being able to swear on TV (go-ram = godddamn).

        The movie, Serenity was kinda cool, IMO.

                You forget that some of our friends on here are unaware that there is a world beyond the USA.

                Bless them.

                    Zoid, you should know by now that I possess a 6th sense that kicks in whenever the state of Texas is mentioned.

                          It was rather great.

                          But not as great as Babylon 5.

                            Firefly only had one season.

                            And IMO the first season of Babylon 5 wasn't that great.

                              Unfortunately, for both cases. B5 evolved into a solid scifi-series, unfortunately, FF was never given the chance.
