I have never wanted to understand another language as much as I do right now.

You can watch, here, but unless you understand Russian you'll be as frustrated as I am.

And for all of that, 25 minutes in and I am already wildly happy about this John Watson.

27 minutes in and I think I'm in love!

I took Russian for 5 years in highschool, and then for another year in college, but the actor rather slurs his words, and makes it hard to understand. Argh, why do you mumble?

Thanks for the link, it looks amazing!

Can you get Russian captioning to help?

And yes, it seems to be great fun!

[piplover.livejournal.com]

That is a brilliant idea! I didn't know you could do the captioning. I still probably won't be able to understand a great deal, just enough to get the gist of what they're saying, but that's better than nothing!

I think I discovered why he mumbles! The actor died before he could do the overdubbing that all the rest of the cast must have done.

[piplover.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, that makes a lot of sense. Especially if he was just saying the lines and not worrying about making them clear.

Ah, that figures...

I could do the captioning, if anybody could tell me how, and if it's not technically difficult...?

[med_cat]

Btw, the actor playing Holmes mumbles too, which is then harder to explain...

Also, did you folks read what the producer said, the reason why Watson is significantly older than Holmes in this series?

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, there was some kind of website about it. But I can't remember and I've got to go to bed now. (Work tomorrow.) I'll try to hunt it down.

[med_cat]

Let me know when you get a chance--I've a bit of free time at present and can try my hand at it, provided it doesn't turn out to be excessively difficult or time-consuming.

Also, I've the chat transcript of the 1st half of the 1st ep, I can PM it to you if you like?

1st ep got subtitled :)
