And while we both have pretty good hearing, we are addicted to watching shows with closed captioning (CC). I find that it helps me follow the dialogue much better, and I can often recite quotes much better when I see it written down.
Over the past few months, I'd seen my fair share of subtitles works and was starting to notice that some CC was better than others. A whole lot better, actually.
SONS OF ANARCHY was one of those shows, where it was clear that the movie studio had actually released the entire script to Netflix for implementation.
Other shows or movies can sometimes get the boot.
I may get into this in a separate blog entry.
Anyway, at the end of another any-old episode, I suddenly see the following pop up...
(WARNING: The following content may contain spoilers for those of you still following SONS OF ANARCHY.)
*gasp* Clay in a hospital bed! Wait no... "Captioned by"?
Oh, right! Someone had to caption this mo-fo! But who?!
Wha-whaat? A company captions it? Not just some random Netflix intern being paid in donuts?
How does one learn more about this fascinating venture?!
And then, the answer presented itself...
Honey, I'm home.
That very same evening, I jumped online, typed in the address, and opened what felt like the floodgates of my new life.
For the next two weeks after that, I was caught in a whirlwind of educating myself about all things court reporting. Granted, I still had/have a lot to learn, but it was this innocuous link in an otherwise creepy television show that got the ball rolling.
And as much as I hate to admit it, I have SONS OF ANARCHY to thank for that.
Together, we form...the Initial Side!!
