I think the difference in experience that comes with watching something as it airs versus marathoning it later on is pretty huge, even if it's rarely acknowledged. Like, say if (general) you were to marathon Buffy without knowing Dawn was coming, you would still have to watch in confusion for a much shorter time compared to the people who watched the season unfold over weeks and months on tv. And you might have only been watching the show as a whole for a couple of weeks, rather than five years, and so your expectations of the show, feelings about the characters, and general sense of the world are way less firmly entrenched.

I feel like this happens a lot in various ways. Like, I quite enjoyed the last few seasons of The Office when I saw the show as a whole a few months ago, but people who had been watching the show for years hated them. And people who are newer to Supernatural enjoy the later seasons more than a lot of people who have been watching from the start.

I think this is very true about marathon watching. I know I marathon watched season two of Grimm over a weekend. On one hand I know that all the people who had to suffer through Juliette's arc over a whole season were probably pretty frustrated, but for me it was just a thing that happened. And was over. While marathon watching doesn't totally keep me from seeing the problems, it gives me less time to think about it and get worked up about it than if I was watching week to week. On the other hand, you also miss experiencing it with other people, so....*shrugs*
