I already watch Walking Dead on fast forward with subtitles, although I do tend to play it at normal speed when there's talking. There's so little dialogue I can still do an episode in under 25 minutes...
Why does Sci Fi do so poorly in the ratings

Thank you for clarifying. I apologize for misunderstanding your intent, and I hope there are no hard feelings.Yikes. I didn't realize that I was fomenting confusion. For the record, I was definitely being sarcastic about the "lesser minds" thing. I was poking fun at the fandom's occasional tendency to assume that our tastes are ever so more elevated than those of "the masses" who don't get sf/fantasy. Which can get a bit elitist and self-congratulatory sometimes.
(I guess I should have put "lesser minds" in quotes to indicate that I was being ironic.)
And that was by no means directed at any poster in particular. Alas, it's an attitude one runs into fairly often at sf sites--and probably dates back to the whole "fans are slans" silliness of generations past.
P.S. Glad to hear that I'm not largely regarded as a crazy person . . . except where Richard Matheson is concerned!
There seems to be a segment of fandom that looks down on those who aren't on their perceived intellectual level, and it is unfortunately represented here to some degree. I hadn't seen anything from you that suggested that you were a part of that group, but the statement bothered me. I should have just let it go.
Again, my apologies.

No problem! Sorry for the confusion--but glad we got that cleared up!
I love rewatching stuff I like.
I must have seen my favorite TNG episodes more than 50 times each, and I still don't get bored of watching them.
I've watched Stargate Atlantis at least 4 times in a row before, and I'm thinking of a fifth round once I finish DS9.
I saw Lost twice, but I think that's pretty much all I can get out of it.
Firefly was written too much for geeks, and that's why they love it (I don't hate it, but I thought the movie had a much better tone and pacing, I wish the show would have been the same)
Almost Human sounds like something I'd enjoy watching, I'm going to check it out.
Yup, those suckers can really move...
