Wonder what sort of show the average German fan thinks it is. . . have you seen Angel dubbed into German yet?
Angel: You're lying. Gwen: I'm fibbing. It's lying, only classier.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

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.

Tries to picture this. Falls over laughing. Chokes on an ice cube.

I'm not really sure where to put this... but the new radio series of The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy starts on Radio 4 tonight, 20 years after the last one ended. They're doing the remaining books starting with "Life, the Universe, and Everything", and all of the original cast (except those who have died in the meantime) are back on board - plus Douglas Adams himself as Agrajag. Download the trailers and listen to the episodes here:
(You can either listen to the episode "live" online, or on demand after Thursday night).

Just watched my first Angel dubbed in German.
So wrong.
Did I listen to Fiona? No.
I should have. Note to self: Listen to Fiona.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They probably borrowed one from Tupac's posse.
