Said Beinoff:"It was crucial that people understood that this was a rite of passage for her, but we didn't want to load down Viserys (Harry Lloyd) and Jorah (Iain Glen) with a lot of clunky exposition. The biggest challenge was finding the right balance of dialogue and context to make the meaning of the scene clear without spoon-feeding people."

What is it with sites these days ruining Home Video extras before you even get a chance to purchase them and enjoy it at home?

Never really thought of this as make or break or polarizing but a cool featurrette anyway
