I'm an avid TV+subtitles watcher, despite being fully hearing. Your work is appreciated!
My question is this: I notice that fairly often on HBO the lines are textually attributed to the character speaking them. Even for characters that are off-screen. Not often, but reliably once or twice am episode, having that line attributed to an off screen source spoils a moment of suspense or tension as the viewer is not supposed to know who or what is speaking. Is there any consideration given to this? Or is it just an edge-Case in the grand scheme of things?
