Which ep of hemlock Grove is roman in a coma

i love how completely contextless and random this question is by the way. don't get me wrong though, come at me with your sudden whump questions, i am here for it!! I believe he came out of his coma in ep 10 ("what god wants") but not sure when he went in?? speed-watch the eps just before that i guess. my bet is on episode 7 or 8.

#whump #i saw this and suddenly felt like i was on a quiz show like eehhh ehhhh wait a second i gotta think!

Humans Eng Subs - Episodes 26-30 Released. Project Complete!

MY GOD it's over! I've subbed all remaining episodes of Humans, and just uploaded eps 26 - 30 to subscene and sent them to dramacool. In the last week of doing this, i was so desperate to get it done i did 33 hours. Overall time on project was over 500 hours. It was obscene. But i took this on fully knowing i'd regret it, and i was right; i chose my suffering, and i enjoyed it god-damn it!

#你好安怡 #humans #cdrama #Ma Tian Yu #马天宇 #Qi Wei #戚薇 #my subtitles #we're into the final ten now I can feel the end in sight and I'm kind of loving that it's lining up with Xmas more or less! #this episode had so much screaming in one scene I had to take breaks from having my ear-holes yelled at #yeesh

[mypheralside]

i'm very picky about tv shows, but my pickiness has only an incidental relationship to whether or not a show is "good". it needs to scratch a particular itch in my brain at the right moment. do i know what the right moment is? no. do i know what the itch is? also no. i can be relied upon to get instantly bored of 85% of tv shows and then turn the remaining 15% into a central facet of my personality for 3-5 business months and even i am incapable of predicting which one it'll be ahead of time.

#Ah yes this is it into words

[mypheralside]

and then the show proceeds to cut to the next scene where they've changed clothes

Non-spoiler translation notes for episode 18:

There were a few lines in conversations in this episode that made no sense in the original, so the translation doesn't make sense either. This show has had that a few times, and I have checked with native speakers and they are as confused as me, so I'm taking no responsiblity!! I do rather enjoy how sometimes the characters just seem to have a wild moment and say any old thing.

And now some idiom fun:

At minute 13:53 a character says 别到时候脑袋上长出了一片草原了你还在上面敝步呢. There's a saying in Chinese that when you get cheated hard you are wearing a green hat, and so this character is saying the person he's speaking to has been cheated on so hard that he's got a whole grassland on his head. In fact he also says "are you still walking on it?".

It didn't really make sense when you don't know the idiom, so I had to go with 'cheated so hard that it's too late to get out' instead. I feel bad removing idioms from the text, but without being able to find an alternative or explain them to most of the audience I feel it would just make those moments hard to understand!

At 26:48 a character quotes the idiom 女大不中留 - "a grown daughter cannot bekept unmarried for long". I kept the line but made it clear it was a saying (as it felt an odd thing to say otherwise), had to lengthen the time the text was on screen for that one as the English text was much longer than the Chinese.

At 33:22 a character quotes half of an idiom. He says 强极则辱,情深不寿 which is the first half of this idiom:

情深不寿，强极则辱；谦谦君子，温润如玉

The meaning is "Extreme strengh leads to humiliation, a deep love will last, a humble gentlemen will be as gentle as jade."

The meaning seems to be that forcing anything will not lead to satisfaction, that only a deep understanding works, and that one should be as 'indifferent as jade' (transcendant perhaps?) in order to truly reach a state of eternal life and satisfaction. I'm not totally clear on it, so that's only my understanding.

End of idioms! I think there was one more in this episode, but it was fairly normal and easy to find an equivalent for.

Also please excuse my incredibly unromantic translation of the song lyrics. I'd run out of energy at that point and can't be bothered to get all poetic and write them into something fitting. So 'strangely practical' it is!
