I can't watch that show anymore because of him and my growing detest for his his bloated Mary-Sueism.  |
What on earth is Mary-Sueism? (Here we go again, DH is teaching me English.
)
Anyways, we get the dubbed version, and Horatio isn't that bad in German. They got a rather good dub for him. He still saves the day on his own (of course), but it doesn't seem so omnipotent.
I have seen some episodes in English and he really does have a sort of "I am God"-thing going on.
And the whole series really does focus too much on him. I mean, I don't even know Speed's name, Delko's first name and who all those sidecharacters are.
