You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The Pacific was no match for jimi's Inspector Gadget-like arms. He did, however, manage to elevate the alert level in the US past red to "Dr Klaw".

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Just watched BTVS "Lie To Me" dubbed in German.
How in the hell are there German Buffy fans?

sumi, my sweet, the translation is indeed that bad.
...
t tries to muster a translation that will explain the situation
No.
Fiona will come along and explain.
The dub I viewed completely missed the point.

Wonder what sort of show the average German fan thinks it is. . . have you seen Angel dubbed into German yet?

No.
Actually, I am a little frightened by the prospect. There is so much dark emotion in Angel. The darkness and the guttural barking, all at once ... oy.

Gus, for the love of God, do not watch Angel dubbed into German. Please.
I've complained about it before. Their worst sin is to give Gunn a really high-pitched voice, which is just wrong, wrong, WRONG.
Buffy is almost as bad, but the main problem here is that many of the jokes are just untranslatable. A lot gets lost, and yet there are still many German Buffy fans, because it's so good to begin with, you can afford to lose about 20% of the jokes and it's still 38% better than anything else on TV.
