...perhaps you should have the writers make more efforts to keep the words "out" and "about" out of guest characters' mouths. Especially if a sentence also includes words to the effect of "I'm from Peoria." Yeah, by way of Vancouver!

OMG, I totally misunderstood a whole minor plot point in AHBL 1 because of the accents.

I'm about to write about it - stop reading if this is spoilery for you.


Lili the psychic said that when she touches people, she stops their hearts. Except in Canadian, it sounded like she stops people's hurts, and I thought it was like a Star Trek V thing, where she gave them a weird kind of bliss -- totally misunderstood what was going on.

Also, I liked my version better; I was so disappointed when I discovered the error.

I think that was the actress, not the accent. Since I'm Canadian and heard hurts as well.

Yeah, I got that too! Thankfully context made it pretty clear, but it was this moment of WTF, why would she complain about that?

These things always pass me by without notice. I have yet to *hear* the Canadian accent that I've seen mentioned so many times.

I don't often hear it. But the Peoria bit really highlighted it for me.

As a Canadian, rogue accents are one of the highlights of Smallville and Supernatural for me! My fave guest actor ever is the gent who played Dr. Stewart (an early Lex minion) in "Onyx" and "Scare", who must have arrived in Smallville by way of Sudbury, the "round-aboot" way! Sounded exactly like my Dad.
