Was it me or was the dialogue in the first episode of S6OTSS especially
hard to understand. Not from a content perspective, I got that. I just
found the sound quality poor and the actors speaking especially fast. I

There was a lot of background noise all the time. And often
loud music, too. I found it very annoying.

used to have that problem occasionally on West Wing but last night
seemed especially challenging.
Or maybe it's me that's especially challenged???

It's classic Sorkin. It make take a few episodes before they get in

I use my CC

I have no idea what you mean by that.

CC = closed captioning
Ronnie...

All right. What confused me was that he "responded" to me, yet his
comment had nothing at all to do with I wrote.

He responded to the thread.

It made no sense to quote me, nor the "It's classic Sorkin" post
either.

We left our CC on too (yeah, I know, I'm replying to you. Blame it on
thread drift).
Two thumbs up to the CC on S60. Very few mistakes, and the timing was
perfect. So many shows lag so much that the CC is without value. This
was great.

It's not all about you and the Sorkin comment was snipped.
Ronnie...

It's just amazing, the things which people will try to turn into
arguments.
Anim8rFSK...

No it isn't.

You gotta problem with ducks, buddy?
Does it get better after Hirsch's rant? Or is it just another case of
Sorkin using a mouthpiece to tell us what we should think?

the groove of the staccato overtalking style of dialogue. West Wing
was mushy in the beginning, too.

I think Peet, like Mary Louise Parker on TWW, was somehow directed
to speak while holding her jaw as still as possible; she was one of the
most mush-mouthed in the pilot. That said, I felt a few other people were
also not enunciating very clearly and I had to rewind more than a few
times to catch their lines.

Did anyone else see the closed captions full of garbage characters?
My cable system pulls in Channel 3 from Syracuse. Like the OP, I
found it very hard to understand a lot of the dialog, but the
captions were gibberish. I've noticed this on Channel 3 before, but
other channels' captions seem fine except for an occasional stray
character. I don't know whether it's the fault of Channel 3 or of
Time Warner.
