I don’t understand sound editors at all. In almost every show I’ve seen, when someone is trying to be stealthy, they are invariably wearing clicky shoes that echo like a big, loud echoing thing. Jack Bauer is trying to flush out the baddie of the hour and is moving quietly through a corridor - except his shoes are clacking so much he might as well start yelling, “Hey bad guy - come out right now. I’m approaching you from the northeast hallway and am about 10 steps away from an open doorway!”
Usually it’s the chicks who have this problem because no matter what they’re profession, they’re wearing stilettos or fashionable boots with pointy heels that create a racket while trying to hide from the bad guy.
And here’s the thing - the bad guys never seem to hear it. This leads me to believe it’s really down to the sound editor who’s got to make sure that during a long chase scene, something is happening to keep the viewer interested. But clicky shoes? I mean come on. I spend so much time being irritated with the loud shoes that I lose the plot of the show a little.
Why the rant as my first post on this new blog? Because it’s been bugging me for days and I just had to get it off my chest 
But welcome to TV Babble. I’m Stephanie. I like TV. A lot.

I was chatting to an acquaintance the other day and she told me that she and her mother are making their way through the Buffy the Vampire Slayer DVDs and having a good time.
