OT: but it's the weekend...

Watching Season 4, Ep 1 of the Wire now. Turned Captioning on. It helps, but frequently, the caption is simply "[indistinct...]".

Now I just have another 12 episodes to go to catch up with you. Oh well, I guess I have a replacement for Dexter which has its season finale Monday.

re: Reminds me of a show I just started watching this year - "The WIRE" on HBO. Excellent show, but sometimes I only understand every third word or so of the Baltimore urban dialect that is used. I've heard some people actually watch it with closed captioning turned on.

(OT "The Wire")

Watched the first two seasons on DVD recently. I don't watch much TV these days, but once in a while order the DVD set and get through a season in a week.

The first episode dialogue was pretty tough to make out, but after that, my ear got used to it, and what I missed, I could infer. My (American) wife found it rather more difficult. Great show.

Hugely enjoyed Deadwood, too (which presents its own language problems for some...).
