The strangest is Montagues because in italian it's Montecchi. But in general, not native speakers pronounce a thick R (for example they say Verrrrona). Also sometimes they stress the wrong vocal - I don't remember if it happens here too, with names, but it happened all the time in Da Vinci's Demons where they pronounced Medìci instead of Mèdici or Girolàmo instead of Giròlamo.
The cities name's are translated and it's weird to me because the characters are supposed to be italian Next time I'll pay more attention if they put random italian words in their speaking like it happened in Da Vinci's Demons. With random I mean while they're normally speaking in english and suddently, with no reason, a word or two are in italian instead of english. EDIT: I just found the screencaps of the two episodes, if someone is interested in making icons or fanarts http://grande-caps.tumblr.com/tagged/still-star-crossed __________________

Ahh bec I know some people dunno how to pronounce the words by thinking that it's right word.. Even tho I have seen other language when they speak it, I was like no, that's not how you said it.. But like you said, not everyone can said R..

Yeah, it's just weird to me with italian names I'm sure it happens with every language. I wonder what english speaking people would think of us pronouncing english names
I see this thread is not very crowded I was thinking to open a Benvolio/Rosaline thread in the Couples board, what do you think? Would I end up being alone? __________________

twitter seems more popular than mb these days so almost all the threads here are slow.

Yeah, forums lately aren't like they were even few years ago. Twitter and Tumblr are quite on fire about SSC I guess my thread idea wouldn't be successful, then
Speaking of Twitter, I saw a lots of people are tweeting to nominate the show, the actors and the couples at the Teen Choice Awards. __________________

I admit that the shipping is 90% reason why I watch I like period dramas, though.
The bad boy trope was kinda surprising, to me. I see that they don't follow the original play in every detail, but to me Benvolio has always been the wise, nice guy (and not so handsome either). The bad boy to me is Mercutio: he's the one who gets in trouble because of his arrogance and he's VERY "unchained" when he relates to women (of any age). But SSC isn't really Shakespeare so I guess they wanted to contrast with the Prince. The political intrigue is interesting, I'm curious to know who's behind it! But I can't wait to see Rosaline and Benvolio fall in love I'm already looking for songs about them, if you have some feel free to suggest __________________

At this point, I see him doing what he thinks he needs to do from killing a thief, exerting power and arranging the marriage of Benvolio & Rosalind. I don't see him necessarily enjoying it--although I do think his sister shows signs of it. That said, he was incredibly cruel to Rosalind. Even though he didn't intend to put her in a compromising position in order to blackmail her, he did. I think he's being set up as the tragic figure where he loses more than he bargained for. I didn't find the second episode slow. I thought it nicely continued to set up the story by finding out everyone's machinations. My only problem with it is that there are only seven episodes. So setting up is fine but with only five episodes left, we're not going to get very far. Quote:

Yeah, it apparenlty only being a seven episode series is why I'm annoyed at how slow their moving. If it was say 13 episodes, I wouldn't of been so annoyed and now they have to show Ben and Rosaline fall in love in these next five episodes? I hope it's believable and doesn't feel rushed.

[QUOTE=Lethally Floral;90431965]I didn't find the second episode slow. I thought it nicely continued to set up the story by finding out everyone's machinations. My only problem with it is that there are only seven episodes. So setting up is fine but with only five episodes left, we're not going to get very far. I think it looked slow because the pilot was super fast, with tons of stuff. The promo of 1x02, anyway, had very little stuff of what happened, eventually several scenes are in the 1x03 promo too. I have the same doubt about that. But maybe they cut the book a lot...I doubt they hoped to have a second season, the show is quite expensive too. 13 episodes would have been better, I agree. But personally I would have been more worried of cancelation, in that case. Anyway, there's always the book I plan to read it after these seven episodes, because it seems they changed some stuff from it

So a couple thread would work? Especially with more episodes, I hope we'll have more and more interactions EDIT: Done! http://www.fanforum.com/f88/benvolio...-ugh-63191718/ __________________
