What annoys me even more is when the subtitles vanish partway through an episode as if they've got bored, then reappear much later on. I can't watch anything on SyFy because they won't pay for subtitles (no Lost Girl, Warehouse 13 or anything for me from that channel).

It's virtually impossible to watch GoT without subtitles - I've been doing a Series 2 mega watch to get through it before the new series (I recorded them in November/December) and I struggle to hear anything if the subtitles go off, to the extent that the volume gets turned up from my normal 28-35 to 75, just so I have a chance of hearing what is said!

Talking of cinema, I have to get the dvds of any films I like because I need the subtitles - I didn't miss too much in the Hobbit (or the broadcast stage version of Frankenstein with Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller) but for all my other favourite films (basically anything with Robert Downey Jnr currently) I feel like I've missed some essential bits.

So, sharing in your Grump.

Another thing that annoys me is when people complain about having t have the subtitles on - I don't use them for fun, they're ESSENTIAL. Stupid People.

Yay for words being back like they should be.
