Actually this was one time where I did not have a big problem with overlapping lines, although that may have been a function of the software methods I used to convert them to a subtitle. One way was to copy the text and the start timecodes from the YT page to a text file and then open it in SubtitleEdit for conversion to SRT; that may have automatically screened out overlapping end times. The other was to allow 9xbuddy to create a subtitle, and that may have done the same. I did not try to use yt-dlp or Jdownloader2 on the ASR subtitles, and when I do I normally get lots of overlaps. ... Admittedly, I was only checking out the brief section where Bella appeared.
I think words like duchy and earthly were just mistranslations.
For "duchy", I think the original Dutch transcription itself was probably off.
It's still unclear whether Bella thought of her costar as strictly a friend, or perhaps shared some of his feelings but was also afraid to speak up.
My own theory has been that girls share those feelings until it becomes too much of a hassle to admit it to a clingy, desperate guy, and THEN they are forever "just friends". Guys are such a nuisance, so I understand. Maybe she thought of it as a brief fun fling but did not want him to get too serious about it? Besides, maybe she also had a significant other by 2018. Would she really suggest she was open to a get-together with a married dude who had a childhood crush on her? "I swear honey, we just HAD COFFEE together!" Nuh-uh, don't need that aggravation.
Tomorrow I'm going to try the official site, see if I can access that and get some (hopefully) better subtitles.
Good, because I did not feel up to registering myself, especially when it seemed to be indicating that the broadcast subtitles might not actually be online too. I can do a Belgian proxy but I am unclear otherwise what Proof-of-Belgianness would be. But it is worth a try. Still, the WhisperAI approach is probably best. Unfortunately it seems my own computer is not advanced enough for it, because previous attempts have crapped out.
