Sometimes it's a lengthy bit dialog and the cc flashes on and away. I just think they don't know what they're doing. And it happens in some of my favorite series like Bordertown that takes place in Finland. So I just scroll back and try to freeze the screen so I can read it all.

I prefer hearing the actual voice of the actors. Too often the dubbing sounds tinny. I think it started when I was a kid and we didn't have the choice of dubbing or not. PBS would air the samurai movies and I got used to reading the dialog. Then when the Godzilla movies came out the dubbing was the butt of jokes.
