Play Second Banana.
Says Chris Pratt and a bunch of other stars of your favorite television shows: Binge-watching TV is awesome.
But if you're going to do it, says Star-Lord, do it right. That is to say, make sure your internet connection is top-notch if you're streaming episodes, stock up on food, stay hydrated, never binge on CNN (spoiler alert: it never ends) and, most importantly, take breaks every 13 episodes or so.
You'll probably want to do that anyway, what with so many awesome things going on in the real world this week. — Cory Graves
