Who’s in Charge of the Remote?
The television remote that is. In my house it’s my husband. I admit this. We watch TV in the bedroom mostly and he’s the clicker holder. As a result, and this happens often, either: he’ll be watching something on DVR and fall asleep, which means since I’m too lazy to get up (if he’s in the recliner across the room) and get the remote to change it, I watch the end. And when it ends and starts again, … well you get the gist. I watch it twice. Or if he’s next to me and I can’t remember how to shut the DVR … you got it – I watch the end. And when it ends and starts again, … Once again, you get the gist. OR as in this past Saturday night, he was watching a James Bond rerun and fell asleep. So I watched the end. No biggie this time. I didn’t mind. Except tonight, he’s awake. And he put on the same rerun. So guess what? I’m watching. AGAIN! Good thing I’m always on the laptop and barely paying attention. :snoopydance:
Who’s in charge of your TV remote?

I too have often seen an ending before a beginning or even bits and pieces over a period of time. Maybe it's a mom thing... girl thing? We often catch the end of one thing and have to back 'em up to get the rest or fill in details because we're so busy making the rest of our households/lives run?
And sometimes, seeing the end saves me the effort of watching the rest of what otherwise would be a horrible movie or program. But, if it's something I REALLY want to watch, I DVR and wait til I can watch (even in small bites at a time) on my schedule. And your computer, pad and phone are great places to watch what you want while they're occupied on their program. Just be sure to get your earbuds or prepare for them to whine about the noise or turn theirs up to full movie-theater volume.
