Inside the Episode: “The Red Woman”

With the conclusion of every Game of Thrones episode, the production releases a spate of videos detailing the behind-the-scenes work that went into the making of it. These videos explore the thought process that went into the creation of particular scenes, and highlight what the writers and directors see as the key moments of the episode. In years past, there was usually a sit-down with George R.R. Martin where the author explained something from the books that is featured in the episode, as well as one with the actors talking about how they felt about a particular scene.

We start, of course, with the Inside the Episode featurette, featuring David Benioff and Dan Weiss, and (naturally) a dead Jon Snow.

This year, the Martin segment seems to be cut—after all, with the show all but fully off-book, such a segment will probably not be all that necessary. (We’ll have to see if we get any over the course of the season.) Instead, we have two sits downs with actors. First up, Iain Glenn and Michiel Huisman discuss their search for Daenerys.

Second, Emilia Clarke and Joe Naufahu talk Dany’s future as a Khal’s widow.

The show also released the clip of the scene between Dany and Moro, which many fans are referring to as “The Dothraki Inquisition” scene, due to the bit about seeing a woman naked and where it ranks on a list of the best things in life.
