I am just too curious how the synchronised version will turn out. From the first German episodes of "Spooks" I was heavily disappointed. The informal 'you' does work in English, but most certainly not in German and the word by word translation they did for Spooks 1 just did not work for me. The fine irony was completely left out in the German version, so the dialogue was a bit boring and the forced familiarity between ministers and state officials very strange. I gladly went back to the English version.

  1. Well, the dialogue in "Strike Back" isn't exactly striking, so to speak. ;) So I think the only loss would be that you don't get to hear RA's original voice!

    Thank you for your comment!
    Unfortunately I cannot get hold of the recording immediately as I am in meetings currently. I had to bribe my parents into recording it for me, as the preset times I programmed had changed at the last minute ;o)

    You are absolutely right. RA is absolutely stunning without saying anything, so the synchronisation hopefully will not do too much harm.
    In the German previews RA made a much more forceful and aggressive impression to me. So I am really interested in comparing the two versions.
