In Which Subtitles Can Be Annoying

Yesterday I got fed up waiting for UK tv to show Veronica Mars so I ordered the complete season 1 from amazon.co.uk. It's region 1 as the only ones on region 2 have German subtitles - the kind of subtitles you can't choose not to have. I did also find a Swedish boxset but again, non optional Swedish subtitles. Why can't the feature be non-subtitles no matter what country you buy it from - and then you choose if you want it subtitled or even a different audio altogether? I know must stuff can be bought here in the UK, but it's very annoying the times you have to look elsewhere. So I bought Region 1 and we'll try it on our DVD-player. Hopefully it'll work and if it doesn't we'll buy a cheap multi-regional DVD-player. No biggie, I guess, it's just that I really want to see it (VM) again and as i moved here in time to miss season 2 and 3 on Swedish telly I've got something to look forward to.

On another note - Lady Gaga played at Storsjo Yran (music festival) in Ostersund, Sweden yesterday and I wish I could have been there. She's awesome!

Must have missed that. Oh well, this way I get to see the episodes when I want to and no interruptions in form of crappy ads..
