UI on DVDs

The Game of Thrones post got deleted, but let's talk about the awesomeness of HBO's DVDs. They get so many things right. For each episode, there is usually a "previously on" and a summary. And thank sweet-lord-baby-jesus, when you start and episode and hit the "next chapter" button, it skips right to the end of the opening credits. Why all DVDs aren't this way, I don't know. I'm thinking of Dexter, which has a cool intro, but I don't want to sit through it every time. With Dexter, you had to fast-forward until you saw him locking his front door. The chapter skip would take you a good 4 minutes into the first scene. The GoT DVDs are especially cool because each disc in the whole set includes a full "who's who' guide to Westeros.
