I'm the kind of person who concentrates when I watch TV -- if I can't give it my full attention I don't watch. I'm 45 BTW.

I used to hate subtitles -- found them super distracting. Then I met my wife, whose family always watched with them on. In part because English is their second language, and as I learned later, in part because some of the relatives are very loud and talk over everything.

Now I can't watch without them. Maybe between getting used to them and having kids and the crappy mixes with the dialogue too quiet, I need them now. I feel like I'm missing something without them.
