I hate it when things are slower. Other than that, this implies a sound conversion of the entire mix for the feature, which is tricky at best. The slowdown will lower the pitch, compensating the pitch is a b*tch. There's just not a really good way to do that. I'd prefer the conversion on the TV-mix as rather than having to mess with the theatrical mix.
But there's no way around some disappointment somewhere down the line.
An in-between solution is to hand the composer a 24fps playout of the theatrical version and 25fps playouts of the episodes, so they can score at the right speed. Then only the dialogue needs to be corrected. Changing actor's voices with 4% is acceptable to some, but I'm not one of them. Female voices suffer from slowdowns rather quickly (makes them dull), male voices can quickly sound funny speeded up.
Finally: an option is to do everything 25, even the theatrical. Downside is that not all distributors accept 25fps DCP's, neither do all sales agents. But AFFAIK, 25fps is part of the DCI standard.
Sorry, just confusing you more I guess.
