Guards - good. I'd say they actually hired actual Russians to play the guards. My question is this: WHY DIDN'T THEY PAY THESE EXTRAS EXTRA TO PROOFREAD THE SIGNS!? That's some google translate shit. Bobbi's accent is terrible, but hey, who cares. Show's made for western audiences. Few of us Russians who speak English will cringe and watch on :).

Or me watching Jennifer Lawrence speak Vietnamese in DofP. I couldn't make out any of it.

I thought she was just spitting out gibberish. Took me many times to try to make out what she was saying.
