Some shows doesn't even come close, BUT in many cases the shown sequences (showing something totally different) can be just as exciting!!

It is obvious that no producer would have such an expert's knowledge but it is not his job. His job is to find those experts, and there are plenty on TOCH for example. Not a problem finding them, is not it? The problem lies elsewhere - it would be an extra cost for them and they do not like to spend money. Least to say Polish translations had been done by accidental people, and even the best translator needs some time as he cannot be expert in every area. That says a lot about an approach to us, viewers.
That is why I would prefer to get access to an original uncut and most importantly, mute stuff!
