How is there a show about women competing to marry a person who is pretending to be Prince Harry?

read about that yesterday. Apparently it is terrible. I want to see it

That's apparent from the time you hear the pitch.

I dunno, there was one show called undercover princes about actual nobles going around and trying to pull a normal girl. It was great.

Just noticed that the Batman vs Superman film is now subtitled "Dawn of Justice".

I also need to watch North and South again. But not the crappy third season.

I duuno, 1863 was a fine year, Union-wise

The Civil War was better in the 80s.

Third season or "Book" was post war. It was very much a forgettable afterthought.

MGM on cable has always been dual audio, even when I was still in Germany. Most movie channels on cable are these days, and also the serial channels of Fox, TNT and Universal.

It's confusing when they're showing 60s kung-fu movies, though, because there's not always a subtitles option.

Star Trek, The Next Generation, series 5, episode:Conundrum
Ah, I remember this episode!
The Enterprise gets attacked by an alien ship which fires a beam at them and makes everyone forget who they and everyone else on the ship is. It also plants an imposter amongst them and alters the ships computers to include him on the crew.
This was one of the first Next Generation episodes I ever saw. Which was quite interesting really; I didn't realise that there was anything iffy about the imposter, I didn't know that character wasn't a normal part of the crew.

It's not like there's an official original version (Cantonese? Not for Shaw Bros. etc.) since they were shot without direct sound.
As for France, dual audio has started to appear even on free digital terrestrial channels, including the state-owned ones which were the last to convert, but not for all material (still no Matula in OmU). The Cine-club/Cinéma de Minuit spots have always been original version only. Last year they even showed the nazi Titanic movie for Easter 
Germany and Austria are quite disappointing since they used to spearhead the movement with Zweikanalton.
As for cable or pay tv, dual audio or OV-only for select screenings from the '90s on if not earlier.
