Default 4400 back

the second series of the 4400 is back. i've managed to catch a total of one episode :wink:. this series had a lot of potential, and still does, exploring human psi abilities and the cultural effects as the group continue to re-intergrate. just the tendancies to become a soap are still bugging me.

Nope, not available. It was broadcasted on one of the six main TV channel, and they don't do multilingual broadcast.
Multilingual broadcast are only available on cable TV, and only for selected shows.

As an example, although I love Lost, I couldn't stand more than 5 minutes in French. They wanted so badly to put the show on, they're salvaged the dubbing.

ah, i get it. we used to have that in SA with shows dubbed to Afrikaans. although the translation was radio broadcast it was always out of sink which was awful, and the content and deeper meaning often lost in the new language.

it's boring, except when done on purpose as in What's up Tiger Lily by Woody Allen, when he took the videos of an old japan yakusa movie and rewrote the dialogues.
