I'm just curious...

Why does everyone make a BIG DEAL out of Daniel cursing in Continuum??


I mean, he's human like the rest of us. He's an ARCHAEOLOGIST/ANTHROPOLOGIST, and I'm sorry - every one of them that I have met or learned under thus far is extremely expressive and often resort to dirty words when talking or worked up.


And you have to remember the tv show was written for...well, TV. It's not like they could make it more realistic by adding the words in. So for the movie, they made it more natural to what people would normally say.


No one makes a big deal out of Cam's 'oh shit' or 'I always knew you were an asshole' in AoT. What's the big deal about Daniel's use of the word 'SHIT' a couple of times. I mean it's the one naughty word I use on a daily basis...

See, I had forgotten he'd even cursed in there until you just mentioned it. It's during the Antarctic stuff, right? I remember being slightly taken aback when ANYONE cursed (Cam included) just because it's not something I'm used to from the show...but I don't get making a big deal out of Daniel doing it.

Yeah - he says 'oh shit' after Cam and Sam walk away, and then says 'who could make this shit up' when being interrogated.

The only time it caught me off guard was in AoT when Cam said 'oh shit', and it wasn't cut off by some explosion or by someone else starting to talk like they'd done before in the show. After that, I kinda expected it and gave a silent cheer when it happened b/c to ME, it made it more realistic.


I don't get it either - but I've seen it brought up in a lot of places.
