Have you ever started watching a series, enjoyed it, and then realized about 3/4 of the way through that you almost don't want to finish it, because once you have, there will be no more new episodes to watch? Yeah, that.

And any new show with moody quiet dialog that cannot be clearly heard without subtitles, I turn that garbage off right away. Why was clear sound-mixing something that seemed to be a solved problem, but has become unpopular in the last few decades? It's annoying.

I first had that happen with book series... never thought it would happen with video media...

but then there I am ...

wistfully looking at my "Firefly the Complete Series" set... and lamenting there are only three disks.

Watching as the series end approaches... 

But I still watch...

Thank god for no commercials.


[edit to add: I hate needing to use subtitles knowing full well that "that's not what she said!" or "the music is NOT eery and forboding!"

Protect and save your ears people.... today's subtitles are a crime against art.

“The Life of Riley” — 1949 — hey you did say old.

The Wild Wild West! That show was such a gem, those little western spy gadgets were the best! Don’t even get me started on Westerns, though… I’ve got a whole shelf of Louis L’Amour books waiting to back me up. 

Here is a few of my favs...
