Quick one
The logic of the people responsible for TV in Germany never fails to amuse me, which might probably be part of the job description, who knows ... one of these days I'll ask.

Anyway in the latest episode of the comedy we have "Game of Thrones", which is currently showing over here. The people responsible didn't bother to change the title, because apparently they assume their German audience will know what "Game of Thrones" means ... but apparently that very same audience is not assumed to be able to deal with the original names of the characters, so many of these were changed. WTF? I never got around to watch the show before, so I thought I give it a try now, despite the dubbing but all these name changes put me right out of the story. I guess it's DVDs for me after all.

I had a lot of other stuff on my mind that I wanted to write about once I have time for an update and now I have forgotten. Maybe I should just because one of those people who update their Facebook Gesichtsbuch status every other minute with something pointless *sigh*

Yes ... you get John Schnee and Theon Graufreund and some more stupid stuff. So irritating.

they dubbed Game of Thrones :( what a shame

it really is a wonderful story but quite difficult to read and follow as there are quite a lot of characters (too many!), and all of them backstabbing one another...so having names changed would make it impossible :(

i too lately feel like i have a lot to share, and then i stare at DW and i go blank....
