big fat word here!!

i HATED Locke's voice urgh. and Hurley's slang was way off. i think boone had the dawson voice. but i am not sure because i was horrified. it's true that most dubbing voices were decent but nothing good compared top the original voices. i also thought kate was too schrill...
and it's weird to see dom in dubbing. he has this very british way of mouth movement. and thatz with a german voice was very strange.

and the special was spoilery like hell! the BILD had a one page ad where so much was given away, too. horrible.

we'll see how that will go. and I am very scared for Desperate Housewives because the voices in the trailers seemed very weird...

Yay Dubbing :/

*g*

Hurley was Dawon, so yeah...that cannot be good.

it's true that most dubbing voices were decent but nothing good compared top the original voices.

That where the low expectation come in. I just didn't have high expectations and seriously...German dubbing always is worse. One exception being captain Janeway. I didn't notice about Charlie though... thank god.

and the special was spoilery like hell! the BILD had a one page ad where so much was given away, too. horrible.

Is is just me, or do German people not understand the show, I mean wtf??? They shouldn't be ruining it like that. It seems to me the network just thought wow... hit rated show in the us, let's buy it. But then have no idea what it actually means. They should wake up and realize it#s not the us version of "Verschollen".

And deperate..lol..tuesday, right??

[shruuf]

Malcolm David Kelley - Walt - Aljoscha Fritzsche

Daniel Dae Kim - Jin - ???

Ian Somerhalder - Boone - Ozan Ünal (Christopher Marquette, Die himmlische Joan)

Naveen Andrews - Sayid - Tayfun Bademsoy

Terry O'Quinn - Locke - Lothar Hinze (wie in Alias)

Emilie de Ravin - Claire - Ilona Otto (Alexis Bledel, Gilmore Girls)

That is just scary. Are they all recycling voices?? so lame. and poor hurley with Dawson#s voice. that just doesn#t fit. Thank god I've only seen the oc in german twice or jacks voice would have been such a turn-off.

[shruuf]

i guess they've just got a limited number of voice actors or something?

everytime hurley spoke and i closed my eyes, i could see dawson talking to joy potter. WRONG!

uuh. i just got a letter from MD.H ... should I open it? o.O

[coffeejunkii]

ah well, german tv proves once more that it SUCKS when it comes to dubbing. i'm glad that you have access to the original version thanks to the internet.

Sayid does not come from a German turkish Ghetto, he does not need to see, ey alta, or ey man

oh god. *headdesk* that's pretty embarassing.

[elli]

I'm so glad myself. It is just so bad. I mean, every show.

And it IS emberassing. I couldn't believe my ears. urg. Do you watch LOST??

[coffeejunkii]

i can't watch dubbed versions of american shows anymore when i'm in germany. it's just too painful.

i do watch lost! you didn't know that? i guess i don't talk about the show very often in my lj because i usually discuss new eps in sarahjane12's lj. i did make a post about this past ep, though. i love lost--it's the best new show this year from my pov.

[elli]

especially if you're not used to the voices at all.,..if you start with the german voices it's not so bad....but.... urg.

I'm really not up to date with my flist right now...sucks majorly.

[alejandradd]

Sun and Jin had the original voices and I wonder how they will do it,once Sun starts speaking english.
They'll have a Sun with two different voices. They do that over here a lot. For now, Lost is subtitled over here, but once it gets to a network channel...

I swear there are four dubbing actors in all of Latin America. The worst part it's that there's one particular actor that, every time I hear him, I think "hey, it's Michelangelo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!"

[elli]

but i think two voices will suck..I mean....it will be so confusing-!!!
I wish they did subtitles everywhere.

and omg...turtles..but they were cool"!!
