- TriviaThis episode, where Tyrion kills his father Tywin, aired on Father's Day 2014. Tyrion ironically uses the crossbow of his purported victim Joffrey; it is the same weapon that Joffrey showed to Margaery in Dark Wings, Dark Words (2013) when shooting the mounted head of the boar that killed his father Robert.
- GoofsWhen Daenerys puts the shackles on her dragons, she lifts them up with remarkable ease. Metal shackles with chains of that size are so heavy that the would be impossible to handle as easily as she does. The shackles are obviously lightweight props.

There were a few characters that were in quite dangerous predicaments last time we saw them. From what I saw last week and previous weeks, I didn't think a particular character was going to make a huge play this early, which was a nice surprise. I love how this show has such attention to detail with minor characters and (seemingly) minor side stories, very early on in the series. The show plants a seed here and then one there, I think nothing will come of it or maybe forget the person, place, old myth, past stories, history etc . , then boom, old stories and people appear, taking things in an unseen new direction. I kind of saw one or two things (generally) happening this episode, but two of the characters heavily featured in this episode really caught me off guard in the way they reacted to situations they were in. One character has been on a journey for quite a while, after seeing this episode I really feel he might find something another main character acquired in past seasons, very useful to him/her (and perhaps others) in the future. Like many G.O.T episodes, you will laugh, get angry, think wtf is going on, perhaps yell in joy at your TV, possibly at how bad a$$ a particular character is becoming; I believe I did most of these tonight.
This episode was longer than normal, (66 minutes) but it felt like twenty minutes to me while I was watching it. This really set up Season 5 perfectly with tying some things up, making drastic changes to others and but shouldn't torture you with too many cliff hangers. This was a perfect finale, to the best season yet, but with how things went and appear to be going now, I can't see how season 5 won't be even better.
