Bilingual TV watching

Watching the first episode of The Lakes, series two, and there's this scene with German tourists - naked German tourists, as it happens *g* - happily babbling away at Danny (John Simm's character) - and it felt so strange to suddenly hear German amidst all the English. I think it took me a moment - fraction of a second - to notice that there was a language switch, actually (this has happened to me before, this sort of slightly delayed realisation of 'hey, wait a sec, that's German!/English!'). And then I got sort of weirded out by the fact that Danny, of course, couldn't understand what they were saying, yet I could. It's odd to understand something the protagonist doesn't.

ETA: What's with the bizarre, 'We want to be Buffy the Vampire Slayer!'-type new credits???

Also,

John Simm is killing me with his body language.

LJ catching up update

Up to date with 34 individual journals, plus 21 communities and feeds now. Have to admit to have gone mostly for the very short journals so far.

Slightly more than a hundred to go, I think. Arrgh.

Oh, and btw, space_oddity_75?

You made me sleep into the afternoon, you naughty girl you. *g*

(Which, strictly speaking, I really couldn't afford, but it was worth it anyway.)

Today in LoM fandom:

Ian Wylie is happy

The fandom? Not so much.

The anti-rainbow coalition is unhappy, too, though for slightly different reasons.

Some more in-depth discussion at Loz's journal.

Behold the fandom reunited in dislike. Well done, Matthew Graham.
