I understand your point. But I think you are overestimating the power of artists to control content over business interests.
Syndicated shows on cable like "Friends" on TBS are already being sped up massively in order to fit more ads into a show.
I think we can pause on a Tyrion stare for 1/2 second more without ruining the show. And EVEN IF IT DOES RUIN THE SHOW, it is still very possible that HBO could use this strategy.
