Switched at Birth || Leverage || Tags are hard

Switched At Birth:

I love everything about this show. The characters, their relationships, etc. etc.
Sure, Bay and Toby's mom annoys me quite a bit but it's done in a way that's realistic and not over exaggerated.
I'm pretty sure I want Emmett and Bay together.
Does anyone know if they are accurate with the Sign-Language?

Leverage:

Like Psych I need this show in my life forever and always.
I also love everything about this show. Well, just about everything.
I want them to either make Nate just randomly stop being an alcoholic or I want for them to take it more seriously.
One of the small things I like is that Christian Kane doesn't look ridiculous when he's doing fight/action scenes. (In my opinion, of course)

I'm very slowly going through tags and re-tagging things. It's so hard. Luckily, paid accounts can have 4000 tags. I doubt I'll need that many but it's nice that that option is there.

And there are some tags where I think, 'Oh, I should watch that show or post pictures of that actor' so that I can use the tag more often just so it's not a complete waste of a tag.

Do you have a system for tagging your entries?

I adore Switched at Birth and it's acknowledgement of the Deaf community. From my very little ASL knowledge, it looks good and obviously some of the actors are Deaf/hard of hearing and are fluent so I'm sure they probably translate it a lot of times (but sign language does vary a lot be region and has different "dialects") so it might not be "correct" for everyone.


Leverage is flawless. Every Sunday is a thousand days away.

I know the alphabet and a couple of words in Sign Language but Switched at Birth makes me want to learn it all.

And also the Leverage seasons are far too short.

It's a beautiful language, I love studying it.

It's getting 18 episodes this season, which is awesome.

Fantastic. I hope next season they get up to 22.
