I like the intros too many series. The intro to House of Cards really set the mood for me.

I wrote a greasemonkey/tampermonkey script to do this.

And to disable auto-play of next episodes (now happily obsolete, perhaps) and "promoted post-play preview content".

There is no UI so you'd have to toggle the script on/off if you wanted to resume watching intros and recaps.

I like to watch intros and recaps sometimes. I like the current design where I can choose to skip if I want to.

The recaps often contain spoilers. When you’re binging, the story line is too recent and it’s a lot easier to read into the scene selection.

If they do a clip of someone we thought died six episodes ago, guess what, they aren’t dead.

Exactly - I also hate the 'next week' bit they do at the end of some shows. They ruin all the surprises!

And then there are the synopses...
