Did you watch with a 5.1 sound system?

Nope, just a stereo television.

That might explain it. Sometimes a stereo tv or receiver will have difficulty mixing a 5.1 down to 2.0. Not saying that's the case, but it's possible. I'll eventually watch this on a proper 5.1 system so I'll be able to tell then.

Yeah it is the case with my TV,but when i watch something with my 5.1 system i don't have any problems. I talk to people all the time who complain about the sound on modern tv shows and movies and every time I ask them what sound system they are using they say stereo Tv speakers,then when i watch the same thing on my surround sound system I don't have a problem. Sadly the problem seems to have become pretty common.

The only good news on this front really is that a decade ago i paid just under a grand for my surround sound system and now systems of the same quality are down to around $100 so the prices have come way down if you want to get one. It's not a perfect solution but at least the systems are much cheaper then they used to be.
