Should shared viewing use the original playback speed when one of us prefers it faster?

My partner picked up the remote halfway through the opening scene. 'You haven't put it on fast again, have you?' I had changed the playback setting to 1.25 before she sat down.

When I watch alone, I often choose that speed. I like getting through an episode in less time. She says the pauses and reactions matter to her, especially in a comedy. I told her it was barely different, which didn't help: she'd noticed without seeing the setting.

I'd assumed we could fit an extra episode into the evening. She'd wanted to relax with one. I wasn't trying to hide the change, but I also hadn't asked.

Should our shared viewing default to the original speed, or is there a compromise that doesn't mean one person spends every scene noticing how it feels wrong?
