Or how about you have some patience?
In any case, your clever suggestion is a fail because not all CSes are in the replay system: for example, to name but one, the pre-final battle in Toto-Rak is NOT in my inn playback and that's a pretty key section of the story at that point. Anyone bullied into skipping it will never know what happens there.
I got bullied into not watching the scenes the first time. I watched them in the inn, and it wasn't so bad.
When six of my friends were ready for it, I went along.
Imagine my surprise when I noticed that during the cutscenes the other members of your party are there with you in the scenes. It was really cool, seeing my character standing alongside all my friends. You don't see that if you're watching them alone, or even if you're partied in the inn.
The one duty finder Paladin that got paired with us was REALLY unhappy that we watched all the scenes, but he learned fast enough when he ended up alone in the fights to wait for us.
Let people play the game how they will, but for story instances let the people watch them then and there. You do lose something if you watch alone in the inn afterwards.
And besides, you shouldn't be speed running CM and Praetorium for tomes. AK and WP are easy.
I've seen this too many damn times.
Stop forcing people in DF to double the lengths of their runs, friends.
You want to watch cutscenes? Put up your own group in /sh in Mor'dhona with 7 other people that want the same type of run.
Once again, nowhere in the DF is a pace for dungeon specified. That's entirely up to the group, and it's selfish of a single person to force 7 others to spend twice as long as they need in an instance they've likely ran several dozen times.
Personally I feel you just should just ask what the majority wants and go with that. If most want to watch, sit quietly (or spam emotes) and let them watch. If most want to skip, watch the cutscenes at the inn later, or don't be surprised when folks bail on you.

NO.
YOU.
DO.
NOT.
NO YOU DO NOT.
TO ANYONE READING, NOT ALL CUTSCENES ARE VIEWABLE AT THE INN.
Specifically for me, it was the Preatorium cutscenes between the various forms of the Ultima Weapon fight. I was bullied into skipping them and I currently have NO IDEA how I ended up fighting Lahabrea. When I went to go view them at the inn, all I had there was the cutscenes AT THE END of the quest, not the stuff DURING.
DO NOT BELIEVE SPEEDRUNNER LIES. YOU CANNOT VIEW ALL CUTSCENES AT THE INN. THEY DO NOT WATCH THEM AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.
I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt because frankly I was flabbergasted that they weren't there, so it wouldn't surprise me if I was wrong. However, I did think I was looking pretty thoroughly at the time. Also someone upthread has also said they didn't find a cutscene from Totorak in their inn playback either.
It's not exactly intuitive, I'll give you that - but it's definitely all there. Maybe someone can post a screenshot of where to go? I'm not in front of my system at the moment. (Alternatively, since you're already using a web browser, youtube had a few compilations as well that went through all the cutscenes at once.)I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt because frankly I was flabbergasted that they weren't there, so it wouldn't surprise me if I was wrong.

I'd removed the second line of the post you quoted there when I realized it came off rather... rudely. You beat me to it though, so I apologize for that.
