James Gunn talks about Episode 6

James Gunn a pretty long section on Lindsay's performance in his blog.  Here is an except:

I also told Lindsay, which wasn't shown in the episode, that I was not immune to feeling doubt or nervousness or fear and perhaps if she shared this stuff with me I could help her do the work in spite of it.  I have many years behind me of writing, directing, producing, and acting – many of which I did while feeling like crap about myself, the world, or some situation.  To turn in the performance we all knew Lindsay was capable of, she needed to trust me as a director.  At this point, she had no other choice.
