Does anybody else watch shows with the closed captioning turned on? I was amused to see that they transcribed “lycanthrope” as “lichenthrope,” and the werewolves as “lichens.” 😃 ---

I liked it, and it did feel a bit stronger than the first two. The werewolf special effects were a bit cheap looking, but I’m okay with that for now. How did Harry get out of jail? He worked the lock and cast an illusion of himself still sitting in the cell, but how did he walk out of the facility? ---

[QUOTE=Contrapuntal] Why did they let him keep the drumstick? [/QUOTE] I thought of that. I haven’t read the books but I assume since Harry’s father was a magician - even a crappy one - Harry must know some slight-of-hand. He _should_, anyway. ---

I was amused to see that they transcribed “lycanthrope” as “lichenthrope,” and the werewolves as “lichens.” 😃 [/QUOTE] I saw that. I love closed captioning. I guess I didn’t realize that “lycanthrope” was a commonly understood term. I was suprised when they didn’t offer an immediate translation of “werewolf”. ---

[/QUOTE] Obviously it’s not _that_ common, or it would have been transcribed correctly. 😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dresden-files-2-11/391810.md?page=1)
