I was hoping that someone would start this thread but it looks like it’s going to be me. We were watching CSI (who knew you could look up someone’s nose and see fingerprint powder?) and at the end William Peterson has a conversation with another woman in sign language - which of course they don’t translate for us non-sign language people. So the hub looks at me and says “I expect you to find out what they said tomorrow.”
So guys - I need your help! (Learning Sign Language is on my list of things to do - I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.)
N.
If you turn on CC, they usually have the translation. I really like this when I tape shows and then I can be sure of what they are saying/signing/etc. Doesn’t help you if you didn’t have CC turned on and weren’t taping, but you if you’ve taped it you can always turn CC back on, the information is there.
CBS does not provide closed captioning for the sign language scenes, probably to put the viewer in the position of not being able to understand (just as the deaf can’t understand spoken language).
Grissom first says “I’m taking (grasping gesture) a class (cupped hands encircling a space) in lip-reading (V-fingers for “seeing/reading” circling the lips).” In response to her comment, Grissom says, “I see (V-fingers moving away from eyes) improvement (flat hand moves up from other flat hand).”
I know this is a lot to ask - but could someone tell me what happened? I missed the first half & only half paid attention to the second half… I did get that Grissom had a secret - but missed what it was. Any hints?
From yet another message board (12th post - scroll 3/4 of the way down.) “I really hope you’re not going to be a troublemaker.”
The show may have a second audio track of narration for the sight-impared. When the episode re-airs I’ll try to remember to tape it with my VCR set for this feature.
