So, I'm planning on using HBO Now to watch Season 6 of Game of Thrones once the season is fully out, and I've been avoiding spoilers. I'm probably going to start a free trial month pretty soon to re-watch the previous seasons, but I was wondering:

 

  • Are there any Netflix-style still pictures from the episode that pop up before the episode begins, potentially spoiling the plot?
  • Are there any unprompted video ads for GOT episodes on the HBO Now front page? Or even links to the "most recent episode" in the form of still pictures?
  • Once I click on the GOT button, is it easy to navigate to earlier seasons without having to see Season 6 material?

This may seem paranoid, but I've been unspoiled so far, and I plan to keep it that way! And yes, I'm posting this here because I trust Sanderfans way more than GRRM fans when it comes to spoilers.

I have not seen any pictures that are spoilers on the HBO Go site, but there is a teaser/trailer thing that usually plays now before you watch a show. That's just a teaser, though, and doesn't really spoil anything.

 

Actually, let me revise that: if you haven't watched anything about the series, then there are a lot of pictures that are mild spoilers for season 1 and 2. But you probably won't even realize what you're looking at in those pictures, so it probably won't be a big deal.  If you've already seen seasons 1-5, then the pictures inside of the app for season 6 won't be a big deal.

 

And yes, it's pretty easy to navigate to earlier seasons.  In fact, the first time you bring up the series, the selector thing starts at season 1, episode 1.  (At least, it did for me.)

Okay, thanks! Yeah, I've seen Seasons 1-5, so that shouldn't be a problem.
