All under one roof, finally.

I'm curious about what will happen this week.
I really like Bay and Emmett together, but I like Bay anyway.

Kalista

They need to have Daphne uses more ASL ( sign language ) instead of speak ( oral method ).

Also, the film shooter need to visual better with their sign language instead of back of body and cutting their signer off.

KristinaB

I think you so much for this and I promise, I will be a gentle as a lamb.

There is an episode coming up where [Katherine's] mother comes to visit and she pushes a lot of buttons racially and asks questions about blood and who her real granddaughter is. Bay or Daphne

I just watched the first episode (for me first) - the one where the families sat
down for the diner together and argued about the deaf driving a motorcycle.

interesting.

Looks like I missed a few in the beginning.

Would you mind telling me how did they find each other, please?

You will need to watch second episode. That will explain it to you. But, I'll tell you anyway.

!! SPOILER ALERT !! To highlight it by selected all of the quote. Read at your own risk!
There you go. That's how.

KarissaMann05

I thought it is worthy mention. I just created a new deviantART group for Switched at Birth today! It should show up in a few hours or so. If you're a deviant and fan of SaB, I encourage you to join there once it arrives. I definitely notify you guys when Admins approve it.

UPDATED: The group is now up! Everything is settled up!

Now, go and check it out there, here!

Audiofuzzy

THANK YOU !!

Fuzzy

Hello, sorry for jumping in without reading all previous pages, but I have a question. I was watching an extra about ASL and Sean Beardy (sorry for spelling) is talking about Emmett's name sign. It is at his head, and he said it is because of his hair, like his bangs stick out.

But he has Deaf parents, wouldn't he have his name sign close to birth? And probably not have hair like that as a baby? Or can your name sign change, like it was changed when he was maybe in school or something? I mean obviously, it is a tv show, but I was curious.

Also, I wondered, Bay's name sign, it is a B and for her wavy hair, right? Daphne's is easier to figure out :-)

Kalista

If you miss any previously show, recommend you go to Watch TV. Watch Movies. | Online | Free | Hulu to catch up the shows. You will understand better.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD
Highlight all of this comment to see, but read at your risk!

1.) It seems Bay and Daphne slowly become rivals, indeed. I wonder, how long they stay being enemy to each other if they are? I hope they get along again someday. Maybe, they grow up and accept their mistakes? Personally, I don't care about Which Emmett should be with either Bay or Daphne.

2.) It seems both families of Bay's and Daphne's are going to be enemies to each other. So, I wonder, what result for them later? Never get along well or forgive and move one? I hope they forgive and move on or... they could be all one family if their result gets better! Well, we shall wait and see... Interesting, it seems Bay's grandmother is on Daphne's family against Angelo. Oof... Sounds not good. Well, I should prepare myself for worse! Aha.

3.) I hope writers tell me a bit more about relationship between Melody and her ex-husband. It seems Emmett is probably only child, so do he have any sibling or, maybe half-siblings? By the way, it is nice to see something new: a hearing character (Emmett's dad's new girlfriend) lose her hear sense at her teen ages. It's pretty rare to see like that.

4.) This is not related to SaB series. It's just my thoughts. If writers bring Deaf characters with CI, I think it would be nice to not bring CI wars. Just have characters with CIs as regular Deaf people like us instead rivals between Deaf with CI and Deaf with no CI. I am sure we have enough of that. What do you think?

Audiofuzzy

Thank you, too!

I will

I think unfortunately CI wars is reality, and it should be included
because in a way -huge way- it shows how the Deaf community feel about the hearing thinking the Deaf needs to be "fixed",

don't you think it should be conveyed to the hearing how majority of the deaf people doesn't feel to be "fixed"?

It was brought up in the show - I clearly remember Daphne getting upset with someone and telling them she doesn't need to be fixed or get a cochlear implant - oh yeah, it was with her biological father. Her mother had also resented it.

KarissaMann05

Yes, I can understand. I kinda of worried about writers bring Deaf people with CIs to our favorite show... I probably would stop watching it if they bring "non-CIs vs. CIs" wars instead of just having all Deaf people as a regular person... =/

ABCFamily

Did you all catch the last episodes of Switched at Birth? Quite the drama! I couldn’t believe everything that happened, but it was nice to meet Emmett’s dad finally! Overall, I was shocked with Bonnie. I definitely wasn’t expecting her to be like that. However, I like that all the characters are not what I would expect because it makes the show that much more interesting. What do you all think? And how about that budding relationship between Toby and Simone…

KristinaB

I do not like Simone and think she has ulterior motives. I do not like Bonnie, but I do think Meredith Baxter-Bierney (sp?) did a good job acting the part. I also think Daphne needs to sign more. I applaud Toby for what he said to Simone at the end. He stood up for himself.

As someone who lives in Canada where Switched at Birth only debuted a few weeks ago, no spoilers please!!!

Asides from that, really enjoying the show and always looking forward to seeing the next episode.

KarissaMann05

If you are going to spoil something. Please put warning message or make your spoilers very bright font. I really wish AD have a spoiler code to censor important keys. Hmm.....

ABCFamily

Will definitely keep the spoiler alerts in mind! I try to ask about the show without giving away too much but I will be much more careful next time. It will be quite interesting to see where the series goes this week. I sense a bit of drama. For those up to date, check out these sneak peeks for tomorrow’s episode!

DeafCaroline

There were no captions on last night's episode in Canada last night. Not happy at all. What happened to the captioning?? Pretty upset to miss a part of the storyline. Possible for ABC Spark to repeat the episode this week with captions so those of us who are deaf can catch up?
