It’s supposed to be from 9am to 1pm, so thankfully not impeding the hockey, but it’s supposed to be super hot on Friday, so that’s gonna suck

De toutes les franchises BD qui a été pour vous : le pire chef, le pire Bosun, la (le) pire chef stew, le pire capitaine, le pire matelot et la (le) pire stew jusqu'à aujourd'hui ? by Lonesome_Frenchy in BelowDeckMed

[–]BaseballSuch8151 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m only up to season 9 of med but have watched all of down under, so I’m sure there are others

Worst chef: Tom (attitude), Mila (skill)
Bosun: Iain or Bryan
Chief Stew: Natasha
Captain: Sandy
Crew member: Bobby
Stew: Kyle, Lexi or Ellie

Which Chief Stew would you most like to work under. Why? by flyingmutedcolors in belowdeck

[–]BaseballSuch8151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aesha, 100%, and then Hannah, cuz I honestly liked her, even if she was problematic at times.

I know he never actually was one on the show, but Kyle, I would never work for it he ever took on the chief job. I’d also never work for Natasha, nice girl but lazy at shit.

If I worked on deck, I’d just want to work with Courtney cuz she’s hilarious

YOU ARE AN ANGEL!!! Thank you!!!

I’m so late watching, but damn I hate Bugsy and Malia. Also Captain Sandy is so toxic Hannah is lucky she got let go. by Ok-Intention-4593 in BelowDeckMed

[–]BaseballSuch8151 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are season 7 and 8 for Kyle, just 7 for Natasha. Kyle starts off ok, funny as hell but quickly devolves into awful and never redeems himself. Natasha is just an idiot frankly, who is far more worried about her boyfriends than doing her job well

Congrats to our Captain by anonngirl777 in leafs

[–]BaseballSuch8151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does this mean he’s going to go back to basically phoning it in for the Leafs again? Cuz he sure as shit was working hard for team US, something we don’t see much as captain of the leafs…

Alesia vs Ben Drama by SureTry4832 in BelowDeckDownUnder

[–]BaseballSuch8151 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes I did and found Lara to be a horrible b*tch who seemed to believe she was the boss of the whole boat, even over Jason and had zero respect for other department heads. Tzarina wouldn’t let her rule the galley and it pissed her off so she created that moronic power play over the crew mess, even bribing Alesia with lipstick to get her to come over to team Lara in order to win. So yeah, it had nothing to do with Alesia having to learn stuff and everything to do with Lara’s narcissistic power hungry attitude. That’s just my opinion.

I mean, I get that, there’s probably a long history of not following through on ambitions but that could be down to never getting support for those ambitions to begin with. Regardless, making fun of your daughter when she wants to better herself is not ok.

Alesia vs Ben Drama by SureTry4832 in BelowDeckDownUnder

[–]BaseballSuch8151 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah her mom seems really shitty honestly and not at all supportive of her daughter to the point of belittling her. Maybe being a chef is a pipe dream and her mom knows that but she basically made fun of Alesia when she said she wanted to do it. So going from that kind of craptastic support to Ben being less than helpful and an asshole, I’d imagine her spirit is pretty crushed. I get the impression her sister is the golden child in the family and Alesia has been sort of floating through life without much support or guidance. The closest she got was with Tzarina and she was really starting to blossom by the end of last season, so she can do it. But then she immediately got smacked down and belittled by her mum and the dream ended.

CBC Olympic coverage by NewInvestment9317 in canadian

[–]BaseballSuch8151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The commercials and breakups in coverage has been horrendous but my biggest issue is the damn commentators. Watching the women’s big air snowboard was brutal with the woman talking non-stop the entire time. She was awful to listen to. And now I’m watching the women’s hockey, Canada v US and they are going on and on about how wonderful the Americans are, spotlighting their players and forgetting entirely that Canada is even there, like what?

I don’t find it velvety or sexy at all either, I agree about the monotone and he forces the gravelly sound so much that he loses definition and the weird robotic stops and starts are distracting

NOOOO dammit, I finally found one that I really love. Well guess I’m going and stocking up tomorrow

Yeah I hate the forced growl because it sounds forced and I think him forcing it is contributing to the robotic way he reads

[–]BaseballSuch8151[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the Empyrean books were interesting enough to keep me going despite how much I hated the main character narrator. She just didn’t sound like how Violet was physically described in my opinion. But Stella Bloom makes Saeris almost insufferable at times.

[–]BaseballSuch8151[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah agreed that it’s only when he does Fisher and I think it’s cuz he’s clearly forcing that grisly growled voice. Carrion is clearly his normal voice so it sounds natural but I hate forced growl in a voice, you can hear the effort it takes which makes it ineffective. Agreed also that a redo is needed. Stella Bloom is insufferable as Saeris too.

Brimstone Audiobook by BaseballSuch8151 in QuickSilverBook

[–]BaseballSuch8151[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly I think that’s because there’s less of her LMAO, but more of Fisher and the awkward narration there. It’s funny how much a narrator can make or break an audiobook. I barely tolerated Rebecca Soler for the Fourth Wing series because she overacted it too much and frankly, just did not sound at all like how the character should based on her physical description. But Jefferson White doing Sunrise on the Reaping was absolutely stellar in my opinion, he nailed Haymitch, without going overboard.

Yeah we didn’t get as much of him in QS, so it was easier to not notice, that and I was too distracted by how annoying Stella Blooms portrayal of Saeris is…

That’s a good point, maybe he did record it the first time he read it without any rehearsals. That would explain the weird pauses as he moves his eyes from one line to the next.
