Opening scene. Oh, hello boys! Haven't I seen you somewhere before? Yeah, still same old voices. It looks kinda funny that they're having Supernatural written on the left corner during the little "22 years ago" trailer...

Guys, camping in the woods. Two of them playing video games. They say "You're cheating." - "You suck."

In German they say "Man, du bescheißt doch." - "Nein, du bist schlecht." I liked the first bit, good translation for "You're cheating," "Nein, du bist schlect." just doesn't have the same feel as "man you suck" though.

So, guy outside... Hm. I'd be way too scared if there's things moving in the woods to even go outside to take a piss.

The Wendigo is even scarier on my TV than on my laptop. *shivers*

Supernatural is still written on the corner of the screen. That's irritating.

Sam by the grave. Poor thing. Ahhhhhh, that horrible, horrible voice!! How can a guy's voice be so emotionless in such a situation?

In the car, when Dean offers Sam to drive, Sam tells him that he never asked him that. What did Dean say? But I'm asking you now? Did anyone catch what he said in German?

"That Haley girl is quite a pistol!" Oh Dean, why does he have to call her a nag/pain in the ass, rather than a pistol

Shoot first, ask questions later - is translated as "seit wann handelst du vorschnell und ohne Fragen zu stellen?" (since when do you act hastily without asking questions? Ouch, lost second meaning much?

Dean's too pretty for his own good.

I always loved that scene with the guys in the bar with the Lynyrd Skynyrd (spelling??) song playing in hte background. It's the old laptop! How I missed it together with Sam's Season 1 hair.

Liked the old man who survived the Wendigo. For once they found a good voice for someone. Hm, scary.

Corporeal, hm. They translated it as "körperlich" which, quite frankly is the right translation for corporeal, but unlike corporeal, körperlich is a fairly normal word. Nothing geeky-excuse-me-professor-like about it. *sighs*

Gah, even the whole bitchface-like exchange of Dean asking Sam "What?" and Sam saying "Nothing" + bitchface is totally free of emotion. *cries* Why, why, WHY???

Oh sweetheart, I don't do shorts. That's one of my favorite Dean lines ever. *sighs* Unfortunately, "Tja, ich trage keine Shorts" sounds nothing like that, even though it once more is the correct translation.

That guy being eaten by the Wendigo is even more yuck when on the big screen.

Cocky!Dean is ♥ He's even a little funny.

Heee! M&Ms! *wants*

I actually liked that they kept "skinwalker" for skinwalker and didn't call it a "Hautwanderer" or anything equally creepy. When the Wendigo imitates the human voices, it actually sounds a lot more real than it did in the OV. That's good.

I miss Puppy!Sam.

Oh, commercial break.

We're about halfway through the episode and the yellow writing of Supernatural is still there. That's really, really irritating.

You know what, especially when they're angry, like Sam was just discussing heatedly with Roy, the guide, it shows how wrong those voices are.

Kinda funny also that the word Wendigo is stressed differently in German. It's WEN-di-go instead of Wen-DI-go.

I'm glad that they didn't translate the whole "saving people, hunting things, the family business" as badly as I feared. I can live with how they made "family business" into "family affairs". It sounds so much better in German. Hunting things was translated into "hunting the evil" which is weird, but okay, I guess.

Judging from the whole Sam/Dean exchange and the way Sam talks, you wouldn't ever know that Sam just lost someone he loved.

Hm, Wendigo twisting Roy's neck. Bye-bye Roy. There he is again, falling form the tree.

Hurray! M&Ms. Dean is the best Hansel ever to Sam's Gretel.

Somehow, I always found that kid brother of Haley always annoying. That pale, psycho kid, but in the German version, he doesn't really bother me at all. Maybe it's the voice. *shrugs*

Even though I know that Tommy's going to wake up all of a sudden, I always flinch.

Another break. Gimme my Sam and my Dean back!

It's kinda weird that Dean is using the formal "you" (Sie, instead of du) when addressing Haley , whereas Sam is using the informal version. I didn't pay attention to what Dean said before, so this might have been a slip or it's just very awkward.

So Dean goes out and offers himself as Wendigo supper. I can't really what he said in English, probably SOB a few times, I feel kinda weird about Dean calling him a Scheißkerl. It is one of the correct translations for for SOB, but it doesn't seem crude enough, you know? Sometimes, I just feel that the tonality is not quite right, even though the translations are correct. *sighs* I think sometimes it would just be better to take a step away from the literal translation and go with what the show actually wants to express.

Last scene then. Sam is driving. \o/

I miss those Season 1 shots of the boys driving the car with awesome music playing. We haven't really had anything like that for Season 3, so it's nice to get back to it.

Next week, we're watching Dead in the water.
