Re: Debate/Dislike a Ship Thread -- CSI:Crime Scene Investigation, Par
Yes, but the closed caption can be wrong, as well. Cllosed captions are done transcribed by the audio, so you are reading what someone 'heard', not necessarily what was actually 'said'. Of course, transcripts are the same way.
As for TwizTV, I haven't found any errors in their transcripts. So far, anyways.
In any case, Nick would not say 'doll' to Greg. It would still be out of character if he did.
This will, undoubtedly, go down as one of those 'he did say it', 'no he didn't' things! He said, 'doll'! No he said, 'pal'! :lol::lol:
Ah, NO. Captions for prerecorded programs are transcribed using the show's script.
Prerecorded captioning is applied to prerecorded programming, such as sitcoms, movies, commercials, and game shows. According to NCI, it can take up to 16 hours to caption a one-hour prerecorded program, as the process involves more than transcribing a program’s script.

Sometimes I've noticed on TV things are different, especially if they initially captioned it from a working script and actors made changes in dialogue, and something in syndication is different because they do edit eps down to fit more commercials in, but by the time it gets to the DVD, it's usually been fixed to fit both the script and whatever dialogue changes are made by an actor.
I think this is one where we'll just have to agree to disagree, because I know what I read on the captions, and what I've heard. So, Thank you, and goodnight.
Well, unfortunately, closed captions are NOT always accurate and do not always come from the script.
steps here
After the transcription they look it over and watch the show. If they noticed script changes or 'hear' something, they will fix it. So it could very well be that the script said 'pal' and the person watching the closed captions heard 'doll' and changed it.
And the transcripts at twiztv.com are transcribed from the actual show, after the first airing.
I'm sorry, but Nick would not call Greg 'doll' unless they were in a relationship, which is not cannon. If he was joking around with Greg, sure, but that is not how the scene was played out.
Now saying 'pal' is in character with Nick. I wouldn't believe Nick used the word 'doll' when speaking to a female either. It just isn't him.
However, I'm willing to believe that the writers put that in for the Nick/Greg fans. :lol:
Shytown, these were captions from the DVD, correct? I'll have to check it out. I believe you, but I want to say. It would be interesting to see what the captions say when that episodes airs on Spike TV again. :lol:
Ok, off topic. Back on topic.
Looks like they're going with the Catherine/Vartann pairing? Are you happy about that?
I'm not one that ships or slashes anyone on the show (though I do read and write Gil/Nick slash, as well as other ships), however I like this pairing. Lord knows that Catherine deserves someone to treat her right and I know it won't dominate the show, like another ship did. In any case, I hope this one comes to fruition, which it seems it will.
Please, please tptb, I know it makes the GSR fans happy, but we KNOW they're married, we do not need to be constantly reminded of it.
