So I'm thinking that the digital video recorder was invented just for the sole purpose of satisfying my need to verify what I see and hear, and to prove it to others.  Which makes me a real pain in the ass to watch TV with, unless you are used to this.  It's bad enough that I pick apart TV shows, but I always feel inclined to share.  As if that reflects well on me.

The other night, we were watching a show where the two characters were lying in bed and one of them was reading a book.  Depending on which "take" they used for the final version, the woman was either 1/3 or 2/3 complete with the book in her hand.  And it went back and forth from shot to shot.  Drove me crazy.  After I got done watching the scene, and counting the number of changes in "reading progression", I had to rewind the entire scene because I hadn't heard a word the characters had said.

I see this all the time on TV.  If only I could rewind real life so I could verify details of what I see and hear.  But I find that people object to re-playing their lives just to accommodate my idiosyncrasies.

Don't worry, I won't stop taking my medication.
