castalie | Numb3rs! 'tain, c'est pas trop tôt!

I knew it! So The 4400 is coming to an end here and I had the feeling that Numb3rs would replace it but I needed the new tv guide to check whether I was right or not - the official M6 site sucks and is never up to date - and turns out I was right!

French Posse, take note: 14 Avril = NUMB3RS, YAY! They'll air three episodes on that Friday and er, I'm hoping it's a one time thing, ie three episodes the first time to hook people and then two episodes each week cause it's not gonna last long otherwise! And seriously, I really dislike it when they air thee eps at once - I've been waiting forever to see the French version, let me savour it!

So anyway, that's not the point *cough* The point is... Numb3rs arrives in two weeks in France wheee! *goes down on knees* Please please choose voices I'll like for my guys! Make everything right and - *gasp* OMG I just thought of something! What if they pull a Stargate on us and have Larry and Charlie say 'vous' to each other or something? *is worried now*

But hee Numb3rs! On my telly *is verklempt* I'm all hyper now *bounces* I'm also hyper cause tonight is Prison Break and I can't wait til tomorrow to download it *bounces some more*

Oh hey yesterday was a beautiful Sunday - it did feel like we were really in Spring and Paris was so very crowded! Rissy and I had a nice, warm and relaxing time. A funny time too, cause in the midst of the classy shops we saw - makes some contrast from the ones we have in Choisy, let me tell you - we found ourselves in front of a Sex Shop, which was a nice surprise. In the end, I had to explain what anal beads and cock rings were and that cracked me up :-)

Oh bis, and we saw Francis Lalanne! lol I'm not even joking; il est sorti d'une voiture juste devant nous. Ca m'a éclatée parce que franchement, j'aurais préféré voir quelqu'un d'autre! Et au cas où quelqu'un se poserait la question? Il avait sa guitare et ses cuissardes *est morte de rire*

Then last night I did a little Life on Mars marathon and how is it possible to love those characters more each time I do that? But yeah, my love for Sam, Gene and Annie knows no bounds. Speaking of which, BBC 4 will show a LoM Behind the Scenes thingie on Sunday and I'm hoping someone will record and upload it on-line afterwards *fingers crossed*

Hee, you're getting Numb3rs. Lucky you. It's funny, but no matter how many times you see something it still rocks like a rocking thing when you get to watch it on TV.

What if they pull a Stargate on us and have Larry and Charlie say 'vous' to each other or something? *is worried now*

You know, I never got that. The Germans do it too. I don't really understand German all that much, but it still irks me to hear it, it must really suck for you. So here's to hoping they don't do it. *hopes*

There's always something special about getting a show on our own tv - I never tire of it :-)

It does suck a lot! And like in TS? Jim and Blair started with 'vous' when they first met but turned to 'tu' really fast, very first episodes, I think. But I think I was told they said 'Sie' in the German version. Man, I always whine about the 'vous' in SG - in particular since if you read the subtitles on the DVD? Daniel and Jack, Daniel and Teal'c etc say 'TU' to each other - but in TS? That would have sucked beyond the telling of it!

Numb3rs on tv! well, I will advertise the news, you can be sure (the guys in my new office at work are very fond of series...)

Yes, Numb3rs on tv, at last :-) And do advertise it, we want a lot of people to watch *bounces*

Oooooh! he's playing the piano! *happy sigh*

That's one of my favourite scenes in the show and an episode that was incredibly sweet and beautiful - and it comes from season 2, I'm just sayin' *eg*

Please please choose voices I'll like for my guys!
So I hade time to think
"Voices she likes? But they have their own and they're gorgeous, why would they trade... ah."
Doesn't that suck? I remember seeing 'Armageddon' in german once, and I just could not stop laughing. (Bruce Willis and Liv tyler have very distinct voices. Their dubbed ones? not so much)
I learned so much english through watching tv ('friends' are probably more responsible for my fluency than my english teachers ever were), but then there's a difference in how you view your language :)

Most of the time, I have to say they do choose voices I like, but it would be so much better if they aired more original versions!

I mean, like you said, it's a great opportunity to learn English - since 95% of the shows we get from abroad are American or British. But France doesn't seem to want that. We do have the original version of some shows, but it's almost never on the regular network, ie it's on the cable or Canal+, which is a pay-for-view thing. So yeah *sigh*

but it would be so much better if they aired more original versions!
That sucks. It really sucks. *hugs*

I mean, like you said, it's a great opportunity to learn English - since 95% of the shows we get from abroad are American or British. But France doesn't seem to want that.
Do you think that's something that will change? I mean is the younger generation more accepting towards movies and stuff in english? Cause it's just such an opportunty missed :(

I have no idea whether it's going to change anytime soon. I mean, we're improving as far as the whole 'learn foreign language' issue is concerned since now, kids won't have to wait til they're 11 to start studying their first foreign languages; more and more primary schools - as well as kindergartens - teach them so kids are getting used to it since an earlier age, but it's still not part of our everyday lives, like it could be if the shows that aired weren't dubbed... We'll see...

You'll get there eventually, I'm sure. The more people use the internet and such the more of the original language will come through :)

Hopefully someone will realise that you learn a language best when you're in daily contact with it, and not just at school! Learning English at school, kindergarten and stuff, is awesome but man having fun and learning the everyday lingo though tv? Is the best way to do that!

Francis Lalanne! *morte de rire* C'est pas super glamour, dis donc!
Et il était où ce sex shop, au fait?

Sérieux, Francis Lalanne ! J'ai pas de bol, quand même lol

Alors, le sex shop il était dans le Marais - et ça, y a pas de problème, c'était bien gay - juste à côté de la rue Bourg Tibourg, si je me souviens bien.

Ahh excellente nouvelle que je vais m'empresser de faire tourner !
Je pense pas vu la relation de Larry et Charlie qui vont les faire se vouvoyer. Ils sont amis. Très amis. Ils jouent ensemble ! Ils travaillent ensemble ! Ce serait trop trop bizarre !!!

Je vais regarder mais ça risque de me faire tout drôle les voix françaises...

Je l'ai attendue cette diffusion française, crois moi lol

Très franchement, les faire se vouvoyer serait une sacrée erreur mais moi, niveau tutoiement v vouvoiement, je leur fais jamais vraiment confiance aux traducteurs, donc j'espère vraiment qu'ils vont pas nous bousiller ça *fingers crossed*

Ca va demander un petit temps d'adaptation de les entendre avec leurs voix françaises, c'est clair lol

Numb3rs! 'tain, c'est pas trop tôt!
