Ok well everyone else was talking about HBO Now/Go. If someone wants to binge GoT for free then they can sit there for the promos.
I don't think there's even enough hours in a weekend not even accounting for people needing to sleep/eat/shit/work on a weekend that HBO chooses. The idea that promos are what turns people off to that is ridiculous.

The last several binges I did where every waking hour had it running and before I returned to working, it seemed to take 4 days, sometimes into 5. It is near 58hours even without intro and commentary.
Because of my current package for a year I have HBO/Cinemax/Showtime. I don't watch any of those channels but all 3 have 400+ movies and dozens of series available through on demand that I use quite a bit since it is free due to the actual channels.
Also I've noticed recently that free weekends have limited or no on demand access for the ones I don't have.

this is half true, i pay for my movie tickets when there is something worth paying for, but after the movie i usually stroll into the next theater to get a chuk double feature if there is anything worth my time. a chuk triple feature on the rare chance if three good movies are playing at the same time. judge me all you like.

Final season is six episodes. I'm not holding out hope for a good end to the series.

The 6 were supposed to be longer total than the 7 from last season though, right? Or at least some are longer than average. Still, I have a hard time seeing everything get wrapped up in 6 episodes. Cleganebowl, revealing Jon's lineage, fight with WW/NK. Inevitable fight with Cersei after. Jaime/Brienne resolution. Red Woman/Varys dying noble deaths like she stated. Just seems like a lot to cover in only 6 episodes.

I think last season was the same as 8 episodes when all added up and these 6 are supposed to run 90 minutes or so each which would be 9 episodes from past seasons give or take a minute. Technically season 8 should be a hour longer than season 7.
