Switched at Birth || Leverage || Tags are hard

[certainthings]

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?

Really, 4000 tags? That is a lot of tags!
I have like 20 I use reguarly, and probably like 50 tops.
Wth would I do with 4000 tags?

Switched At Birth:
I wonder if they'll deal with Toby's gambling probalem. He owed $10,000 in poker debts??!! DAMN. I too like Emmett and Bay, I figured that's why they got rid of Ty.

I looked up on Wikipedia and found this:
The show employs a American Sign Language expert who helps make sure that the sign language used by the three fluent regulars (Katie Leclerc, Sean Berdy and Marlee Matlin) and Constance Marie all employ a similar dialect.

Leverage:
I agree about Nate and the drinking. He's an alcholic and they let him drink. UGH. Snide comments aren't going to make him stop drinking. You're right, Christian Kane does not look ridiculous doing fight scenes.

Arggg are they going back to the alcohol storyline? I got really tired of that. Tired of Nate in general though. Bah.

I've been retagging my LJ too, I have a system that seems like it's probably pretty similar to yours. Still some tags that need correcting, but obvs feel free to check it out =)

I'm loving Switched at Birth as well! :D

As for tagging - I really should go through and make an organized tag list. :x

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.

My dvr is getting saddlebags from the strain I put on her so I have to ask..if you could choose one, which would it be? I want to get my headspace away from Supernatural for at least 30 min. to an hour.

I watched a couple episodes of Switched At Birth, and while I think they handle deaf culture really well, I feel like they turned Constance Marie's character into a cliche and I find their portrayal of her offensive, as someone who is Puerto Rican. She's Puerto Rican, so she's a single mom and she's poor and she can't hold down a job. Awful.
