Basically it means: "Kiss my ass" or "Go jump in the lake", it can also mean "Fuck off" or "Get Lost" My Pseudo boyfriend walked by and I asked (He's German)

Also Christian is sick so Stella could just be super fussy with keeping him warm. Cj, my "over the top" was supposed to mean that Stella was probably being way too "super fussy" with Christian. And I bet he doesn't like that at all. Scarpien, he was wearing t-shirt and short pants outside. Germany may not have 34º C like we had yesterday (it can get to +40º) but I bet there's hot weather there in this time of year. And VL time is supposed to follow RL time, isn't it? So, "over the top" doesn't sound that over the top, does it? ETA: I also don't believe that Christian falling in the fountain may be dangerous to his health, but I really don't know.

It was great being able to watch the whole ep, but the other scenes were so boring today! Well, except for Consti...that was cool. Though Olli's outfit was weird, his face was adorable! He was so cute when he had trouble getting out of the door! And Christian (Thore) was superb today! Thanks so much for the only Ollian vid and wonderful caps, Ivan!

ETA: I also don't believe that Christian falling in the fountain may be dangerous to his health, but I really don't know. Davian: I get what you're saying but when I said they're tryin to kill him it was meant as sarcasm. Plus, I was referring to how the rake wacked him in the face, not the falling part. I was glad to see he totally cleared all the concrete edges of the fountain when he fell. As for the temperature aspect, I'm from the tropics. And I've found during my travels that summer for me isn't the same for others. Even though Christian may be dressed in a t-shirt and shorts the summers at that latitude (Dusseldorf) I'm sure is alot cooler than the summers I experience here in the Caribbean. So, if only for that reason alone, I can understand why Stella would wrap him up in a blanket. And if it is true that VL is filmed 2 to 3 months in advance then it would have been Springtime when these episodes were filmed. So it probably would have been a lil cool out still.

My Granny, what a big &^%$ you have!-------------------------- Random thoughts after watching Ivan's vid, then the full ep: Non-Ollian: Constantin/Milan needs to figure out what to do with his arms. The actor was awkward. It reminded me of the early Ollian days when Thore didn't really know what to do with his hands in a scene. (see the 4/4/08 ep as an example) Thank goodness Thore has grown out of that awkwardness and become more relaxed with Christian and on camera. Maria needs to stop the fake-crying. It seems reeeeally fake. Ansgar is a slime-ball. Any Lahnstein with a brain ought to figure out that if Ansgar has to personally escort Maria everywhere while she claims to be Fransesca, something is rotten in the state of Konigsbrunn. Non-spoilery Spoiler: Will it take journalist-student Constantin to put together all of the clues that Maria isn't Francesca?Anyone else think during the final exterior shot of NL at night that the woman walking inside with the dark jacket, handbag and blonde hair looked a lot like Stella? (not to say it was her, but it was a little cool) Ollian:Nice interplay with Jo & Thore. I'd like to see the subbed versions, especially Chris' scene with Miriam at the end. Is he acting like an ass just to be uncooperative? I'd also like to know what Chris is saying to Stella, because he seems more receptive to her mothering tendencies towards him than Olli's. Rebecca is Rebecca, and she needs to cut her bangs. She comes off as very "Olivia" in her scenes today, hovering over Christian while he works on the castle grounds. She just sits reading her society mags and sips her lemonade and is generally a pest to him for no good reason. I'm glad that Christian finally gave abuse to someone who actually deserves it, besides St. Gregor. I have to agree with Kes' earlier comment about Olli and Christian being shown with flaws. It makes them infinitely more interesting than if they were bland and lovey-dovey all the time. (Remember in May when we were griping about lack of story and that's all they were?) ----------- It's good to be able to watch the full ep (even though I have no idea what the hell they're saying, but the gist comes across). As a fan of the show, I like to see where and how they fit into the lives of the others on the show. that said, I hope that the Ollian-specific caps and vids don't end. Granted I can watch the full show, but there are fans out there who might not be able to for geographic reasons, other than on YouTube. Plus, they are a good for fans who have no interest or inclination to watch the full show. The argument to keeps subbing the eps for non-German speaking fans seems pretty clear to me, or should I attempt to horribly write it in German? As a fic-writer, having these Ollian-only vids to check back to when I need to is an incredible resource that I thank Ivan and Nanna for. As fans, however, we need to make the effort to give the VL full ep a click or two when there is an Ollian-heavy ep. They are providing these to us and other fans as a free service, and we should show our appreciation. Thanks everyone for your hard work!

Watched Ivan's clip on Youtube. And thanks so much Ivan for the screen caps, they were great.
Anyway, from what I could make out since I don't speak German, was Olli naturally still very concerned about Christian, nevertheless, he still needs to get on with his daily responsibilities. He has a business to run.
Christian is very depressed, but able to mask it quite well. When he fell in the pool, I did actually find it very funny and had a good laugh, but I think that scene also highlighted how much Christian, this once strong and powerful upcoming boxer has declined. He looked so sorrowful dripping wet in that pool. It's like he has this black cloud just hovering over him. I mean...even when he had a little go at Rebecca looked what happened...he almost knocked himself out with the rake and ended up so humiliated in the pool. Then back at Stella's place he is so depressed, lost and feeling as though he's future plans in life have been crushed. I really felt bad for him. Thore did a great job in conveying this feeling of doom that Christian is presently feeling .
Ivan...continue with the clips. They are so much appreciated.
I shall make it an habit to go and watch the full episode of VL whenever Ollian are featured, in order to add my support for them and appreciation to VL.

I'm sorry for asking this but what does "Du kannst mich mal" mean in English? My german isnt very good. lol Literally "Du kannst mich mal" means something like "You can do me", it's short for "Du kannst mich mal am Arsch lecken" ("You can lick me on my arse" aka "You can kiss my ass"). In German it is used the way English speakers use "Screw you" or "Kiss my ass". (personally, I always thought that emotionally it is closer to "Screw you" (aka being mad at the other person) rather than "Kiss my ass" (which to me comes more from a point of indifference/superiority; I think the German "Rutsch mir den Buckel runter" aka "Slide down my back" is closer in emotion to that)) To me he sounded sarcastic all the way through it, particularly where he says thank you for getting him such a "great and challenging job".

Hello,
The subbed video will be up later today at some point. It's done, but there were a few technical difficulties and it's the middle of the night in Germany right now...so when Nanna gets up, she'll post it to Youtube.

Well Stella made Christian do the job and then he ended up in the water, she was worried it could make things worse and there was this thought in her head "God, Olli would kill me if something happened to him" ;D

I think today's clip showed us how Christian is really having a hard time adjusting to his situation. It's got him totally f*cked up right now. He was at a loss at the beginning of the clip, then happy doing the groundskeeping at first, but became moody with Stella when she coddled him too much, then took out his anger on Rebecca, and then he was totally defeated when Stella was drying him off. He tore my heart when he said he just wanted to go home. Then finally at the end, he wants to cut loose and drink his troubles away for a bit... Poor Chrissy! ;D

Certainly partying is another way for him to rebel against the (s)mothers in his life and push himself to his limits.
