Trivia

• This episode shares the same name of a book, game, and movie franchise titled Left Behind.

• Matt Nable makes his return as Ra's al Ghul.
• Sara's time in the League appears to be a bootstrap paradox.
• Ray questions why Rip didn't attempt to go back to when the Waverider was hijacked, so as to spare him, Sara and Kendra two years in time where technology is more primitive than the 2010s. (Rip just gives an excuse, whicn Ray buys.)
• Rip explains that staying in a foreign time for too long causes a time traveler's memory to start warping.
• The med bay of the Waverider can recreate missing limbs; Snart froze and smashed his hand to get free of some handcuffs, and Gideon later recreates his hand for him.
• In the promo, it's been confirmed that it's been two years since the last episode for Ray, Sara and Kendra.
• One of Ray Palmer's students in 1960 is William H. Gates, Sr., the father of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. 
• This episode marks the first appearance of a child named Talia. Talia al Ghul is famous known in the comics as the Daughter of Ra's al Ghul as well as the Wife of Batman (Bruce Wayne) and the mother of Damian Wayne.
