Interesting. I definitely do this with Coursera... but you haven't noticed any dramatic timing being thrown off?

Not really, in the sense that everything is half the time so the timing between things is still intact.

Are there some "dramatic sequences" in which I miss part of the intention of the directors/etc.? Yes, I'm sure there are. But for at least a large portion of the shows I watch, most of the important stuff is in the dialogue anyway.

Disclaimer: I'm probably a less visual person than most, which means I don't pay as much attention to the visual aesthetics of shows as others do. Also - some sequences even I don't watch at 2X, mostly action sequences and the like.
