- TriviaWriter Bryan Cogman described this episode as a "love letter to the characters". He explained that in most of the previous battles in the show, there were around 15 minutes of preparation and character-centered calm-before-the-storm scenes, with them taking stock of where they are in their lives before the battle breaks. Since the upcoming battle in the next episode (The Long Night (2019)) is the most central in the show yet and features almost every major character, this time, the writers decided to dedicate an entire episode for this kind of preparations, so the battle episode could "hit the ground running."
- GoofsBrienne claims that Jaime lost his hand because he protected her from being gang-raped by Locke's men. Actually, Locke cut Jaime's hand because the latter annoyed him by mentioning the wealth and power of his father (Walk of Punishment (2013)). However, the simple truth remains that if Jaime hadn't intervened on Brienne's behalf and started that conversation, his hand would not have been cut off.
- Quotes
Jaime Lannister: In the name of the Warrior, I charge you to be brave. In the name of the Father, I charge you to be just. In the name of the mother, I charge to you to defend the innocent. Rise Ser Brienne of Tarth, Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: The song "Jenny of Oldstones" plays over the closing credits. The song is about a royal scion who gave up the throne for the love of his life, which reflects upon Jon and Daenerys's relationship.

Featured review
A great episode showing each character in what is potentially their last moments
To everyone saying that this episode is a boring filler episode, you need to understand that it is a lot of characters' final moments on the show. If you wanted the show to rush to the action and forget about any touching character moments then you're watching the wrong show. Every character had a different way of coping with the inevitable which made the episode brilliant and doesn't give away any clues on what characters will survive the battle. When game of thrones is over, this will be the saddest episode to look back on as we'll realise that it's the last time we'll see certain characters' traits and interactions with each other. 10/10
Edit: Easily the best episode of the season.
